The lunch deal was the best feature
My son and I arrived for our tee time to find a notice stating that only 9 holes were open. We queried this and we’re told ‘it was in the small print of your booking Oh and the greens have been aerated and sanded which is why the deal is so cheap’ I don’t recall seeing any warnings about either of these on Golf Now. So we played the ‘back 9’ twice and found the course to have been massively overwatered and saturated in many parts of the fairways. All of the tee boxes were in an extremely tatty condition and it’s difficult to comment on the greens given the maintenance they were undergoing.We had also seen previous complaints about the additional $2 charge for food, which was plentiful, but we didn’t have a problem with this given what we had paid to play. Personally I don’t think I would venture back again, even with a ‘free’ lunch :-)
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.
Good conditions and friendly staff
We were pleasantly surprised with the course conditions in comparison to some of the other courses we played recently
Fairways were good overall with few bare spots amd greens were excellent and fast
Staff were friendly especially the starter who let out early as a twosome therefore no waiting and we could play at our own pace. We finished in 4 hours
Only negative would be the sand traps which were wet and very hard making it difficult to play out of
Fortunately sand traps were mostly off to the sides
Overall my son and I enjoyed the day and will definitely play it again
Slow play for this round
I like the course and the staff are great. After 2 tee times they were calling me by name. We got stuck behind an awful 3some on this round that were terribly disrespectful of the players behind them. Chatting on the fairway and on the greens after they finished holes and not hitting their balls, knowing there were people on the tee box behind them. Don’t know if they were drunk or had Alzheimer’s. No Marshall in sight. Even the players behind us told us to hit into them to send them a message. I’m not comfortable playing that way though. I counted about 10 carts on the 2 holes behind us. Having said that, if you want to play a lot of golf when you are in the Sarasota area, there is no better value for your money than Bent Tree. Met some lovely people playing here. I’m going to Chaulk that up the 3some as a “1 of”. I would definitely play golf here next year.
Greens Roll True
Bent Tree has very good greens. They roll true at a fair speed. The rest of the course ( fairways & tees) are a mixed bag, some are very good and some are in need of TLC but generally the fairways are decent with only the men's tees needing TLC. The bunkers are consistent and fine. The pro shop is friendly and the course has coldwater stations strategically located on holes 2,, 8, 12 and 15. I always enjoy playing at Bent Tree. Pace of play for our 3-some was good at 3.5 hours..
Best Value for the Money in Sarasota Area
The title says it all, Nice course, reasonable prices vs all the other courses that are
2-5x the cost. In no way are they twice as good!
Needs help
Pace of play SLOW. Bunkers need SAND.
Too many bare patches on fairways. Not nice when you’re on the fairway and on a dirt patch.
Better
Had not played here since hurricane Ian. They have done a ton of work to create a good course and one of the best prices in area.. Course is fun and in great shape. T boxes fair, greens great, fairways good. All in all a really enjoyable day of golf. I’ve lived in Sarasota since 1952 and this course has had it’s ups and downs but right now it is a really great place to play!
The course was in good shape, greens were fast and fair, pace was good, and the course was challenging

Nice course layout
Nice course. Greens in decent shape. Bunkers need sand. Fairways decent, but could use some work in spots. Carts paths need some major work. Enjoyed the course.
Better every time I play it
I like this course!!! Not perfect but greens are good, fairways OK. Layout is fun. Better than most around here
