Love this course

Greens and tee boxes in great shape. Played around 10 am and the pace was pretty good and steady. Great practice facilities before round. Would definitely play again

Worth Playing

A real good experience from arrival to the 18 hole. Greeted by friendly staff, assigned gps equipped cart and sent to included practice range. Starter kept times at least 8 minutes apart. A few waits on the front nine and completed round in 4.5 hours. A nice layout with fairway bunkers at driver distance from tee box, greens are well protected by bunkers too. Greens were nice but not fast. Good all round day and I recommend playing this course.

Excellent course in Bradenton area

Play this course yearly while on vacation in Sarasota. Course is always in excellent shape. Our only issue, 230p tee time was tough to finish 18 before dusk due to slow play a few groups in front of us. Just finished b4 dusk. Course and staff are excellent. Would highly recommend.

The course was really nice and had a good layout. I thought the finer landscaping could have been better but fairways and bunkers were very good. I would recommend to a friend and enjoyed the. The pace
Of play was a bit slower than usual.

Nice course!

Played yesterday, teed off late behind the IMG kids and played 18 in the dark, so pace and keeping on time could be better.

Nice layout, best greens I have seen in the area, and good overall value with my “hot deal”.

Definitely on the list to play again!

Primo Golf

The staff was excellent in accommodating me when I arrived at the course. The course layout was exceptional and the greens were rolling at least 12/13. I understand I started in the early afternoon but the round was real slow. In fact, 4 hours after 14 holes, I could not finish knowing it would be closer to 5 plus hours to finish.

Great Facilities and Course

This course is so well maintained and a very challenging outing. There are some holes where the next tee box is behind or very close to the green. We were waiting on every hole for the group in front of us, and the course was backed up as far ahead as we could see.
