Blue/Red at Myakka Pines Golf Club

Staff was very good. Greens were bad. Bumpy. Thin sand traps. Grass in fairways very bare.

I took my grandson and we played blue-red and enjoyed the course. There was significant recent rain so the course was wet, very wet in some places but didn’t affect our play much. We had a good time and will play it again.

Greens were in very good shape (rated between 4-5); however, hitting a tee shot to the middle of the fairway only to find out your lie is somewhere between bare dirt and marginal grass is disappointing (fairways rated 1-2).

Practice area is good. Lots of dead and bare areas in fairways. Bunker surrounds in some areas need work

Requested unrestricted access with the cart due to handicap condition. This was not done as the cart turned off in "restricted" areas. Also, was told the kitchen was open but when we arrived, the cooking staff was gone because the course did not want to pay overtime. Staff yelled at us when we were trying to drive to truck parked in handicap parking spot immediately next to bag drop off.

Arrived at the course. As usual staff very friendly. The course is in good shape and always fun to play and challenging. Service at the halfway house was very slow as they did not staff enough people to consider their club championship. Overall had a good day. Yes I would go back.

Staff are friendly and courteous. We played the white and blue course. I have to say the greens roll very nicely. Unfortunately they ran out of hot dogs and we did not have time to order anything as it was very busy. It appeared the kitchen may have been understaffed. But overall it good experience, I would recommend this course.

Course improvements were noticed on the cart paths and bridges. Fairway grass was thin leading to very tight lies and difficult to hit my wedges properly. Greens were fast and rolled true.

Good course to play. Challenging Red course.
Only drawback was kitchen closed at 3:00 so no food was available on the turn or after golf.

Carts stopped on the cart path saying "restricted area" and we had to backup with no good reason. We were on the cart path-major problem with the round. You need to be able to shut the GPS on the carts off. We all have our own GPS's or range finders. This is a PROBLEM!
