Good and bad

The course was in decent shape but greens were inconsistent. I played by myself and was the first guy out until they let someone go out the back that i bumped into so I ended up leaving after 10 holes. Not happy :(

Great course

I haven’t been playing this course for 5 years and just joined unlimited range balls and discounts rate. ($55 monthly)
These days not many public courses provide range balls. Green and layout and fairway conditions are really good match price!!! If you can’t afford it come and play here!! Absolutely recommend this course!!

NIce Course...

The course was in average condition. SOme of the greens had some sort of weird spots on them. Those went away after the third or fourth hole. I was told that they were having drier than normal summer conditions. The fairways were pretty good, sand traps fluffy... good to see. It was a bit slow, 4 hours for a twosome. The staff was great. You can tell that this course is going thru some sort of improvement. If they continue the nurturing, this place will be really good later this year. Nice Experience.

A Fun Round

Great time of year to play this course. Course is in very good shape despite the current continuing dry weather. The greens are in healty shape and roll nicely. The layout is a good mix of right & left doglegs that are tree-lined. The fairways are pretty generous but the course does punish wayward shots. The traps are in good shape. Pace of play was very good. A good value on a fun golf course. Plenty of wildlife to see too.

Best Value in Sarasota

The course is in very good shape. Piching and chipping areas were excellent. Greens run true and are in good shape albiet slower than I personally prefer. Tee areas & fairways are in good shape. The pace of play at mid-day was excellent since it took a 2-some 2 hours and 15 minutes to play. The staff are friendly and access to the driving range is convenient. The motorized carts are super clean and in excellent condition. Serenoa has a good layout that requires a mix of working the ball right & left for optimal results. Bunkers are in good shape. Overall, hard to find a better golf experience at an excellent price. Highly recommend.

Off-Season Bliss

At this time of year a mid day round is paradise golf. I teed off as a single and I saw no one on the front side. On the back side I ran into a 2 some who promptly and kindly waved me through. So pace of play was superb at 2.5 hours for 18. This is especially good for senior golfers when the heat index can easily reach the upper nineties. The course is in pretty good shape despite the prolonged drought this season. I really like the course layout with many water penalty areas and tree-lined fairways. Play from the white tees (6000 yds) doesn't play overly long during dry conditions but it still requires proper fairway placement due to a varied collection of both left & right doglegs. There are two fairways that have a hazard that runs across the fairway which forces a carry or a layup decision. I find that exciting. The greens are slower than I prefer but they run true. The bunkers are in very good shape. Overall, this is a great value for the privilege of playing quick summer rounds on a challenging layout. Highly recommend in the off season.. Practice range uses artificial green pads but nice nonetheless for a pre-round warm up.

A Great Value & Fun Golf

At this time of year Serenoa is pleasure to play. The course is in decent condition and after 12 pm the course is generally wide open allowing for a single or a two-some to play 18 in under 3 hours. When I did run into slower players they invited me to play through which is more often an uncommon courtesy on public courses. I like the driving range and practice green for warm up. The carts are nice with touch-sensitive GPS & course layout screens. Greens ran slow but true. The fairways need seasonal showers to improve the current dry conditions but this is true at all local golf courses at this time. It is a pleasure to play at Serenoa and a very good Golfnow value.
