IMG Academy Golf Club

I played at 9am with three elderly members. they were very welcoming and they played a mixed tee format from gold and white tees. I believe this made the course about 5,700 yds which was a little shorter than I would like but I believe the back tees extend the distance substantially.
Yen first 4 holes were quite tight on the drive but thereafter, it opened up and the greens were fast and undulating. Overall I thought the course was quite easy (I play off 15.7) but it was a very pleasant round.
My main complaint was that the housing around the course does encroach quite significantly in some areas and is quite claustrophobic.
$97 was expensive but I did play early when all the members were out and there are cheaper times later in the morning.
Definitely a course worth playing!

Course in great condition. A bit too crowded and slow pace of play.

Course conditions very good in all regards, not outstanding. Busy course but pace of play is monitored well, great cart and gps system. Fair challenges but not overwhelming difficulty

The course was in very good shape considering the drought conditions in the region. Fairways, greens and traps were well maintained. The staff was very friendly. The beverage cart was in service although the snack bar was closed. The round took 4 hours and 15 minutes. The course can be long if you’re not driving the ball 250 yards. We played from the gold tees and enjoyed ourselves. We got a great deal on Golf Now. We all would play here again.

I had been wanting to play here for years. I got my opportunity today and boy was it worth it! From the moment we went to the bag drop to checking in, to the starter, it was a most pleasant experience. The course layout was spectacular. The conditions were fine. And the greens…better spend some time at the practice green before teeing off. Can’t wait to return!

This is a beautiful course and in great shape. The greens were the best I have played on in years.

It was extremely windy the day played and the course played long even from the white tees.
Greens were in good shape although not quick they were true. Overall the course was in nice shape.

Great course. I play several rounds each year when we come down from Canada. Enjoy layout. Greens are true and I like the quickness of the greens. I’ll be playing it several more times while I’m in Bradenton.

Played weekday late morning round as a single. Was paired with a twosome. Course was almost empty. Greens slow but pristine and true. Some tee boxes a bit thin. Fairways in OK condition. Sand traps needed to be groomed. Staff (especially Mike in clubhouse) very friendly and accommodating. Recommend this course and look forward to returning soon.
