Great facility
This course is in excellent condition and offers a great golfing experience. Great layout. The greens are fast and well-maintained, and the entire course is well-manicured.
The staff is always friendly and attentive, and Tyler Beasley, the professional, is an excellent instructor. He is knowledgeable and provides valuable instruction to players of all skill levels, From beginners and children, to those working on long-drive power. .
The practice area is worth making the trip itself. It is spacious and well laid out, with a big driving range, and short game pitching areas to greens with bunkers. There’s also a large putting green. Overall, this is probably the best practice facility in the Sarasota area.

Good Friday - Bobby Jones
Do like theis course. Unfortunately, we played behind some incredibly slow groups. No marshal on the course at pur time slot. It appeared there were 4 holes unoccupied in front of slow groups.
Still enjoy this couse and will come back.

Underwhelming
Greens roll true, other than that nothing too impressive. They charge way too much for what you get. The #1 handicap hole was a easy and short par 4......really???

NEVER SHOULD HAVE CHANGED
It was two 18 holes which gave a great variety!. Should have spent the money on more grooming and a NEW CLUB HOUSE.

Good Day
I have played Bobby Jones quite a bit over the last year plus. The staff is usually very friendly and the practice area is very good. I think the course is a good course and kept in very good condition. I think the greens fees are a little high for this course.
