Greens are in great shape. The fairways could still be maintained a bit better. I find the course a bit too open, but I do enjoy playing it.
Great course
There were a couple spots that backed up but moved along good after the choke points. The course has a lot of roll. It looked like "August" time rolls. The greens are in great shape. Over all it was a great day..and a great new course to play in the future.
Score Friendly Course
Liked the course for the value. Par 4s were somewhat shorter than what I do play, but it worked. Golf score friendly course.
Pace of play was rough
For $100 / golfer, I’d appreciate the management of tee times to be better. The course is not terrible, but we waiting on every hole after teeing off nearly 20 minutes after our tee time. They just over book. If they can spread this out a bit, the course could be more enjoyable, but if you’re not willing to wait to hit, almost every shot, I’d recommend going elsewhere.
What happened?
This Ross “gem” is a joke. The original course, even as badly maintained as it was, was a much better course. Since it’s new the fairways and greens are in fair shape but already getting thin spots from overplayed schedule. Tee boxes are hard as cement. Course is not getting enough water. Pace of play is worse in county. Practice area is best in area. In summary-overpriced, over played, a boring design with a great practice facility. Will practice here but play elsewhere.
Worst managed course
These people r a bit nutz. The course is beyond overpriced and management is beyond rude. Me and my family will never be back. We have 2 scratch golfers and a 14 yr old that shoots mid 40s. By far the slowest course we have ever played down here. Made it through 9 and left because it was too pathetic
Nice layout. Excellent greens and bunkers.
It’s hard to get in trouble here. If you have a decent short game, you’ll score. But it is not a pushover. That said, $90 is a bit steep for a muni…. and they charge for range balls!
The course is boring,it has no carakture to it.
It’s not worth 100.00 greens fee, it’s a 60.00 dollar fee course.
Nothing Special
Not very interesting course. Fair condition. Very nice staff
Not bad but not great
Not a lot of character here - flat and open but ok for the money - $100 on Golf Now for an 11:00 tee time during spring break. Service was great though.
Glad this Donald Ross gem was preserved and restored!
Fairly good restoration of a Donald Ross gem, and the greens are in very good shape - hard and true. You can tell it's an old course by the front nine - not much to it, but there's enough tee options to make it as challenging as you like.
Friendly staff and a very good grass range and short game area. Green fee is on the higher side for what it is - but the convenience factor for being so close to downtown Sarasota makes up some way.
For a muni course - quite impressed.
Good Track
The greens, tees and fairways were in excellent condition. The greens putted true. The traps had plenty of sand. We didn't wait for anyone but played late in the day. Not a lot of water for a Florida course.
