Overpriced

The course was in good shape...greens true, good layout of bunkers, but very wide open fairways made for average to beginner golfers. Nothing wrong with that, particularly since I fit that category, but other courses for far less money offer alot more.

long time coming

Greens and Fairways top shelf. Fun course to play more like a resort course now. Recommend yardage markers in the fairways for 100 150/200 and also recommend yardage marker at all par threes since the tee boxes are so long. Since the greens are so large now recommend indicator for front middle and back on the flags. Enjoy the layout they did a great job and also fantastic practice area. Also need to offer the discount to Sarasota County residents as we pay taxes also. We support the course in the summer when no one else is here.
