Bobby Jones Golf Club - Championship Course

several of the greens had bad blemishes and dead spots.

A very flat Florida course,except for the greens. I found the greens were unable to hold any wedge when properly trapped. Greens were very hard and had a lot of slope and had some mold on them, overall a nice Muni course.The players I played with play there weekly and say it is affordable, they pointed out the flaws on the course, this course might have been very nice at some point, it is a Donald Ross and it used to have 36 holes, however it is 18 now and I believe the clubhouse used to be on the other 18, their's was a trailer.

Played today in a little over 3 hours. Greens and fairways were perfect. Cool to see the renovations and how they brought the course back to life. I had an early tee time. Weather and overall experience were great. Highly recommend.

First time playing, great layout, challenging but fair as all Donald Ross courses seem to be. Amazing history and a great conditions. Will be back.

This course is one of the worst near Sarasota. Overcrowded, Unorganized. No GPS. Fairways lined up parallel to one another. $53M of taxpayer dollars wasted. Never again.

Cart Path Only.

Expected.

Rained overnight.

Cart paths could use some work. Bring in some more gravel fill holes etc.

Flooded everywhere. Driving Range is almost requiring uber service to get there from the parking lot. Not enough time between 4 somes. Backed up all day.

It is a course under re-construction, I guess. The tee boxes, fairways and greens, were in good condition. The cart paths and rough areas were really rough. Not really worth the $70 its a mediocre course. It's a $45 course currently.

course stays wet for days .. it was cart path only on all 9 front holes and the course was so wet they should have repeated the back 9 twice.. greens are in ok but not top condition as others in the area .. it was great the way it was before with two courses to choose from .. also new Swami GPS does not recognize the course .. have to choose back of American or British but even then yardages are not correct

Rude woman at check-in…only to discover a horrible track to follow. Slow play and really rough greens conditions. Sarasota needs to rethink the money they blew on the revamp.

Oh! You actually call that a pro shop? A dank trailer with zero appeal is what I saw. Pretty gross.

The course was in good shape and I thought the greens were great… good speed and rolled true. It’s pretty open so there are more challenging courses out there but still a lot of fun and a good value overall.

Course was very wet

Was not told when booked that only 9 holes could be played (twice)

Some of the greens were recently repaired on front 9 and ball had to be moved to avoid te repairs

Bobby Jones golf course has a great layout, really nice practice facility, and is in excellent condition! Especially, for a municipal course and the value this time of year! The staff is always friendly and helpful! I highly recommend Bobby Jones!!!
