Greens/tee boxes and bunkers.

Greens nothing like practice green. About 3/4 feet slower and bumpy
Tee boxes are a mess.
Bunkers a joke. What an excuse for sand.

Good round

Really like this course. They will be working on courses from May 6th through end of May. So if you book know things will be off. Today was excellent- greens in great shape, fairways were good with a few bare spots since we have not seen rain in forever t boxes were ok. 7&9 on the front and13 on the back are the most interesting holes on the course. Great weather now that the snowbirds have mostly migrated back north and the summer heat has not yet stared - it’s only 89.

Grass

Nicely maintained course. Grass on the fairways. Green in great shape seem to roll true.

Value for money

It was a reasonable price to pay for 9 holes. Everyone at the course including girl who answered the phone, man in the clubhouse and the starter, were all very nice and extremely helpful. The course itself was average but they really could use better golf carts and a little work on the paths. (Lots of holes and root instructions. Holes were extremely well marked.

Emergency

When we just started our round I received a call that EMS was taking my wife to the emergency room at Sarasota Memorial Hospital. I stopped in to the pro shop to inform them and they gave me an email to ask for a refund. The other option was to schedule another day but they were punching the greens so that was not a good choice. They complied and issued me a credit on my credit card which was much appreciated by me and my friend who was golfing with me.

Old school Florida where the course was built around natural landscape. I find this course to be a top public course in the Sarasota area.

Great overall value

This was my first time playing here. Staff is great. The greens were in great condition but were slow that day. I don’t think you can go wrong playing this golf course for the money they charge. I’ll be back

Good course for price

I live near this course so it's very convenient. Their greens are best I've seen in 5+ years and their fairways are improving even though still very thin. Pace of play is always an issue because of the low price but in the Sarasota area, in my opinion, you cannot beat the value for the price.

Good value

Course was in decent shape given the lack of rain. Lack of a driving range really detracts from overall value.

Don’t do it!!!

By far the worst course in Sarasota I have played. Literally driving range tee mat on tee box. More dirt than grass. Surprisingly the greens were in great shape. It was getting there that was the problem. Do yourself a favor and don’t waste your time or money playing at this course. Also no GPS in the car paths were like monster trucks had driven through them. I asked for a refund from GolfNow because I only played four holes and left.
