Private Course Experience while Traveling

Beautiful semi-private club. Course was in fantastic shape, and the pace was excellent with how busy the course was on a Monday afternoon, 4 hours 10 minutes. I would recommend UPCC for anyone looking for a top notch public golf experience. This course should be on your list to play if traveling to Bradenton/Sarasota.

Beautiful day

We throughly enjoyed our round of golf at University Park. The conditions were great, the staff was very friendly and accommodating, and the couple that we were paired up with were enjoyable to play with. I will certainly recommend this course to friends, and be back for sure.

We played holes 1 to 18.
The course was in very good condition. The only negative was that we thought the greens were a little too slow.
Very comfortable golf buggies, excellent practice areas included in the fee.

Nice course but overpriced

good condition, enjoyable course, good pace of play in November, but should not be priced at $100. Range at low density balls and mats, which was very disappointing for the price.
