Esplanade at Azario Lakewood Ranch

And I will list them in the order of importance..

Cute cart girl (s)

Fast electric carts

GPS screens on the cart that kept the foursome in front of me alerted at all times exactly how slow they were playing.

Paved paths close to the greens.

very friendly Pro Shop

Exceptionally reasonably priced restaurant offerings for a fancy course

No houses around it yet but eventually it will look like you're golfing in Boca Del Vista

Big undulating greens because sand Mounds are cheap in Florida that don't let you make a short putt anyplace.

But play this now if you can afford it. Is wide open and a great place for lousy golfers like myself

The starter was about as unfriendly person you could ever meet, everyone that worked there seemed to hate everybody that wasn’t a member.so be aware you will be treated like a dog if you play

Fun course. Wide fairways and large greens. Not a lot of forced carries. Plays according to its slope

1st time outstanding course, well taken care of....

Overall excellent. Greens were a little slow and crusty and firm, but rolled true. With all the break that's in them, a little slow makes it a more manageable. Tees, fairways, fringes, collars, and traps all excellent. Complimentary range balls, good GPS on cart.

This is a very new course, just opened 7 months. It is in beautiful condition, though the greens are a bit slow as they aren't quite ready to cut and roll, I assume. The fairways are massive and perfect condition. Huge bunkers well maintained and soft. The views and layout are fantastic. This is a fun course, From the white tees it is a little over 6000 yds. Reasonable. You can hit greens but the challenge is hitting to the right spot as these are some of the toughest greens I have ever played. 3 putting is not unusual. They are multi-tiered with undulations that create 2 and 3 breaks in a putt. Insanely and cruelly fun.

The staff is fantasitc and prices reasonable for play and refreshments. I need to get back out soon so I can develop a bit of local knowledge. Have fun. It is well worth the price!!!

Greens wasn’t fastt. It they get to to 10-11 it would be trouble for the putter. Layout was perfect. Greens has a lot of up and down hills and valleys

Without a doubt, Azario at Esplanade will go down as one of top 5 Courses in this area. Challenging without being Impossible. The Greens though, those were a Tough Read. Beautiful Layout & Great Staff!

Thanks for or the Amazing Experience!

Course is still relatively new so there are a few rough spots but overall the course was in great shape. Large fairways, big greens, but still plenty of trouble to avoid. Very playable for all skill levels. Greens were very slow to me and that probably is due to the newness of the greens. Cart GPS very advanced and carts have bluetooth built in which I thought was a nice feature. When this course matures in a couple of years it will be one of the top ones in the area

It's a very nice layout. You can cash in your rewards and pay for being greedy.

Course was great! Fairways wide and generous. Greens were large and hard to read with average speed. The only problem was getting there as Siri didn’t know where it was. No signage either. Club house and staff awesome! Will play again!

great course with plenty of water. Excellent condition and a great layout for any level of golfer.

Fairways are very spacious. Greens were slow. Really have to hit hard to get past hole when putting. Greens still young so there are still hard and firm. Bunkers were very well kept and I loved how much sand was in the green side bunkers versus fairway bunkers. The day I played there was a consistent 20mph wind so hole 9 played three 3 shot to get to green. Greens are a bit tricked out on a few holes with undulations. I think greens keeper was angry because pins were on some knobs. Grip and rip it
