Manatee County Golf Course

The course was a close drive and was a very busy day at Anna Marie island so we decided to get off and golf and manatee closet course.the course has a very strong odor of sewer water which has had for years. Something about near a water recycling plant.the courses in Florida especially spring break is very expensive so you take what is closest and less expensive.

A little pricey. Bu I understand economics.I

It would be nice to see a10 round package for about $600 plus tax.

I was expecting a long line of golfers at the first tee box as this course books 7 minute intervals but no. I was pleasantly surprised on how good the fairways were, the best next to Dunedin CC. The greens were also in great shape if anything were a little slow.

That's it...no complaints and I look forward to playing again soon.

Aside from the few holes adjacent to the sewage treatment plant (pee-ew!), the round was good. Lots of dog-legs, fairways were wide and in good shape, some tee boxes on par 3’s were pretty chewed up (didn’t seem to move tee markers onto grassier areas), greens were in immaculate condition, although very slow. The carts were gas powered - electric would have been more environmentally friendly. The course is directly under the airport flight path, so if very frequent jet engine roar from landing planes bothers you while you are swinging, it’s not the place for you. The ladies in the pro shop and snack bar were beyond nice and helpful. Overall, a very pleasant experience.

Very slow play , we paid for 18 but only got 11 holes in because of slow play . There seems to be a waste treatment retention ponds next to the course and the smell was nauseating to say the least at times . All of the staff very friendly with exception to the lady in pro shop was somewhat unpleasant to deal with .

The course is fair and in okay condition. The greens were slow compared to some other courses I have played in the area. In all fairness, the course did experience off and on rain for 2 days before my play.

Great greens and very comfortable carts. Lots of wildlife on the course.
You could do a lot worse for the same price.

When you charge $46 to play at 3:30 and it takes over an hour to complete 3 holes,something is very wrong!!!! All these snowbirds definitely don’t make it worth going out and playing especially when you don’t give a resident rate!!

Good course for high handicappers…greens too long for a good to average golfer.
Course was in good condition, just the greens not a true putting experience.

Played here a few months ago and the fairways and greens were in the worst shape..
Decided to try it again and they turned it around 100%. Greens and fairways in very good shape, new carts also.

The golf course has an average layout in a dated community setting. Excellent greens made playing the course enjoyable.

Our day began with a starter with a bad attitude, bad condition tee boxes full of divets, horrible fairways and slow greens. Better courses to play for the money

We played as a two-some and were paired up with another two-some of similar ability. A foursome ahead of us probably should have been on a less challenging course and created a bit of a waiting game but we did finish our round in four hours and fifteen minutes..
The course is in decent shape for a muni; greens are decent and fairways are pretty good. A good layout makes this a good challenge.
