No gps at all

No gps and apps didnt find this course. No 150 post and harzard mark from water. We have to guess and check little map in score card. Good for practice for beginners or players. Also range balls are very expensive from sarasota county.

Got hole in one #13 par 3

I got a hole in one number 13 playing black tee. Ask the staff and golf pro to do something, at least give my whole group a free round. they refused too. That suck. Green is big and beautiful. Very wide open look like link course. Staff is not very friendly, slow play, wait for every hole.

Pleasant day

Bobby Jones was redone and I liked it very much. I bounced between tees and found every hole interesting and challenging. I really like the course and with time it will be great.

Wide open

Overall, a very good experience. It could help if there were a few sign here & there indicating where the next tee box was, for those who haven't played the course before.

Nice golf, staff friendly beside marshall

Golf in good shape. Warm welcome when we arrived. Played in 4h08 not good enough for the Marshall who has been harassing for the last 7 holes and threathen us. First time it ever happened in more than 30 years… Aside of his behaviour, I would recommend the course. Staff is friendly, greens were firm and well maintained.

Goodbday

First time playing this course. We had a reduced rate. Course conditions were pretty good, I had grass under my ball for the most part - some courses I play don’t have that. Greens were in good shape & rolled good. Most tee’s were very dry & hard to peg. Hit a few range balls but didn’t use other practice facilities which looked very nice. Cart girl was friendly, only seen her twice during round, no big deal for me. Cart guys greeted us on arrival and starter was friendly. Pace of play was somewhat slow, had to wait on most holes.

Nice changes

A municipal course recently renovated from two courses,to one flat well maintained course. Fairways and greens were watered. A large selection of tee boxes. I am not sure the merger of the British and American courses makes itt a better layout, but there is certainly less to maintain. We enjoyed our one round. Temporary clubhouse, with plans for a nicer facility.

Great Condition

The course was in great condition especially for the price. Fair and challenging at the same time. A few holes that you need to play a few times to understand where to hit it. Greens were very good and quick.

New course that was well developed and even in the first year well grown. At the price I paid, well worth the play.
