Challenging but fair

Played Sarasota National for first time. Pace was very good and conditions were great.
Course is challenging but not overly tough so all can enjoy regardless of your skill level.

A great afternoon round.

A hot deal tee time and a 3 1/2 hour round on a great track makes for a great afternoon.

Can’t wait to come back and play it again.

Some greens could use some work

Very nice staff. The course was designed well with some unique holes but it was not an extraordinary course and I didn't walk away thinking wow, that was a cool hole like I have done at other courses. Many of the greens were very nice and moderately fast but there were several that were not in good shape. If the greens had been good I would have rated the course 4 stars.

Almost perfect

Terrific course, everything was top notch.
Wonderful practice facility.
There were some splotchy rough spots in the fairways, but that’s a minor, very minor complaint.

Sarasota National

Fun layout in very nice condition. Generous landing areas off the tee, nice pace to the greens. Wind is a primary defense to scoring. Very enjoyable round!

Fantastic!

Great course but greens are tough--hilly, fast, very discouraging. Course in good shape. Course was crowded, but we got around in 4 hours and 15 min. Several groups only played n in ne, so it was a little faster on the back. Back nine is harder than the front.

A Favorite

It used to be this course was so much more expensive then all the other course around. Others have raised their prices now. The only problem is getting a tee time. It is a popular place but they regulate play so you are not playing hit and wait golf. Love it!!!

Green big, lots of water and bunkers but, all in great shape.

Good layout

This course has a good layout. Several tee boxes to accommodate all levels of golfers. Generous landing areas off the tee with well bunkered greens. Water can be an issue with wayward tee shots & approach shots. The speed of the greens was good. The greens have significant undulation and a couple of the pin placements were questionable. Alligators everywhere.

Great Day at Sarasota National

This was my 3rd time playing the course over the years. I was paired up with 3 others that were really fun to play with. The course was in great condition and there was very little wind, which I gather doesn’t happen too often there. It really couldn’t have been a nicer day of golf (although I could have played better)!
