Tatum Ridge, Sarasota, Fl

Tatum Ridge is a nice golf course with a great layout..I usually play it a couple time while I'm in the area over 4 mos...4/3/18 was my first time playing it this year and I looked forward to it. Unfortunately the course wasn't up to the standards of its past...I don't know if this is due to weather or lack of care . Many of its greens were in bad shape.. You had to move the ball so you were not putting over bare spots. I can only hope management can get this course back in the shape it deserves. Otherwise we played in a reasonable time and the staff was friendly and considerate... Hoping to see course improvements next season. And for that reason I wouldn't recommend this course at this time...

What happened to the Fairways

I went to Tatum Ridge about two weeks ago and commented to others about how the course conditions had significantly improved. I went back this week and was stunned by how much the fairways had dried out and returned to dirt or dried grass. The greens were great but most of the fairways and some of the tee boxes just went to seed

Tee boxes and fairways deteriorating

Very sad as these folks have worked so hard to get this course in great shape and keep it that way. Earlier htis season the course was excellent. Many of the tee boxes are not good and parts of the fairways completely bare dirt. I imagine it's the lack of rain and not wanting to spend money on irrigation or problems with irrigation. The first fairway was green and soaked!! The greens are fabulous and good speed. As always the clubhouse staff and starter awesome. Had lunch for ther first time and the waitress was supper pleasant and helpful and a very good sandwich.

Nice course with interesting topography. Course desperately needs topsoil, seeding and IRRIGATION.
All green in good shape, unlike the fairways. TLC, TLC,TLC!

Terrible Conditions

We haven’t played here in a year. It was so bad then, and worse now. I thought that since Pope Golf took over management that it would improve. We wanted to give it a try, thinking that it can’t possibly be as bad as the last time. Sadly, we were wrong. It has the potential to be a great track. Sadly, we won’t return anytime soon.

Reasonable links course

This is not a bad golf course for the money. Challenging but not too difficult. Some of the fairways were hard. Overall, it is Worth a try for the money.

Going Downhill

I can't believe how far downhill this course has gone in the last month. The greens are still great but most of the fairways have many bare spots and the tee boxes are almost unplayable. I'm no expert on golf course management but it looks to me like they are watering the greens but nothing else. Our group was extremely disappointed in the course conditions.

Still fun

This is not Augusta National but a fun public course that has real good greens. Fairways and half of the tee boxes are in terrible shape but it appears that they are working on it. Real dry and hard out there which gets a good roll but there are some bare patches. I simply take relief from the bare spots in the fairways as those are really ground under repair. Pace on weekend is still snowbird slow so I try to get out during the week. Always a fun round here.
