Esplanade Golf & Country Club at Lakewood Ranch

COURSE WAS GREAT, PRACTICE FACILITY IS INCREDIBLE.

I enjoyed playing Esplanade. The fairways were perfect, the greens nice and healthy. Not very fast but it is summertime in Florida. It is more important that they are smooth and roll true which they did. The layout is friendly even though there are water hazards. I definitely will be back to play.

Course is in great shape. Lots of good challenges and you’ll use all clubs in your bag. We will definitely be back

Beautiful course well maintained. Greens are still a little sandy from punching but rolled pretty good. Not many trees on the course, wide fairways. Not to say I didn't lose any balls. Hit 3 into waste areas off the fairways could not find any of them. Great course

I played the course previously and enjoyed it so I came back.
Yes it is hot out and a lot less players out playing in the heat but there were still slow players in the front of me on the back nine. Played the front in 1.5 hours and the back was over 2 hours after I ran into players going slow.
The course is beautifully landscaped and just pretty!
The course is tough because of the wind which can blow hard at times and calm the next second. greens had been punch recently and had just a few areas that were still bumpy. Overall condition of the course was pretty good considering the time of year. I will plaay it again!

As this course has matured, it has maintained its open feeling even though there are many more housing units around its perimeter.

Nice course layout decent conditions, but staff needs some attention. Got there 30 minutes early, checked in with starter and he said he would come get us in 15 minutes to start our round early. Starter never came to get us on the putting green and never seen him again. Also at the turn stopped to get some food and the guy said they threw all the hotdogs out and there were no sandwiches to eat. Not happy!!

Still in good shape compared to most places, but not the beautiful condition it used to be. Tee boxes getting worn, some weeds creeping in, sparse grass in some places. I wouldn’t pay a premium to play here. It’s worth a hot deal price but anything over $40 and there are better choices. It is super easy and a good course for your ego though. I hit the ball awful and would have been at least 5 strokes higher on any other course in Sarasota.

Great track Greens 1-10 10/ Fairways 10 Tees 10

Very wide fairways. Good collection of holes. Greens very true and in great shape.

Golf now address took us to wrong clubhouse? Thanks to nice lady walking dog, we got to the proper
clubhouse. Could not find cart return, took clubs to car and was scolded by bag drop attendant????

Well worth the money. Relaxing course due to wide fairways and no forced carries.

It almost seemed a shame to put a divot in the fairway. They and the greens were in wonderful shape. What's not to like? Especially with a Hot Deal.

Not much in the way of trees as this course was built on farmland not that long ago (2014?). I played it a number of times back then and it was kind of Streamsongish with not much build-up yet. Now homes everywhere. But they are not that intrusive. They did a good job of having them set back near landing zones.

I am a fan of scenery but even without it Esplanade is a great course.

This course is beautiful to play. Had a great time and looking forward to playing it again.

We played a late afternoon round here under warm and breezy conditions adding new challenges to a familiar layout. The course was in great condition. Always enjoyable.

Great staff and course is always in great shape, it’s a must play when You are in the area!!!!
