The New Greens Make it a desirable course to play.

Nice layout with new greens that have matured since installed a few years ago. Reasonable fees an nice place of play. One of the best tradeoffs between price and quality of course in the Sarasota area. We will return soon.

Fun Course to play

Nice mix of challenging holes. Our threesome played in 3.5 hrs. Only waited on one par three tee. Course could use some more trap rakes.

Great layout and well maintained

I enjoyed playing the course now for the second time. I'm an avid golfer visiting family from NY. Its a great layout with friendly staff. The course is in excellent condition especially for all the recent rain. The greens were just moist enough that when ball marks were repaired they completely disappeared. I have never experienced that before. There were a number of ball marks on each green and I wound up repairing two or three per green. Golfers should show a little more respect when playing this course. The round took about 4 3/4 hrs which is good but a little longer than the 4 1/4 target.

Good but not great.

My wife and I play Heron Creek often when we visit FL for 2 months a year. It is one of our favorite courses and our favorite nine is the Creek. We were a bit disappointed with the condition of the course especially the greens. The greens are a bit patchy and inconsistent. This was the first time that they rolled slow. I think the course is a good value and we will continue to play but it is not up to par with a few other courses we enjoy playing.

Fun,challenging layout in nice condition.

Our foursome played the round in 3.5 hrs. Waterlefe is challenging course with a good number of very interesting holes. The greens were fast and well conditioned. This is one of the thee to four golf courses in the Sarasota area that we enjoy playing most. The value is excellent for such a quality course.

A great value for the money.

Nice, narrow course in fine condition. Greens were a little slower and less undulating than the other better courses in the area but were true and in very good condition. Although Rosedale is a relatively short course the par 3's play longer than average. The driving range was not up to par with the course and rest of the facilities. Pace of play, quality layout, and fine course condition are all factors that make we want to book another tee time.

Fine layout in excellent condition

Well maintained course with fast undulating greens. Pace of play was excellent. We didn't wait on a shot all day. Finished round in approx. four hours. Staff was super friendly and courteous.
