this course is good if you prefer open fairways and litter trouble areas.

this was the second time in two weeks that this course overbooked and caused delay in start times. First time 20 min. second time 35 min.

Greens in terrible shape, fairways fair

As in all things in life, you get what you pay for. Sarasota Golf Club is a low priced course for those with non discriminating tastes. Struck me as an old course that needs to be seriously renovated. All courses wear out sooner or later. This one is well past it's "best before" date. Greens are like concrete with some kind of disease. And tiny. Not fun to play.

Very good value.

This course is good for mid to high handicappers and probably the best value in the Sarasota area. Naturally it is not perfect. They don't have enough carts and many times you must wait for someone to finish their round before a cart is available for your round. Usually this is not a drastic problem until the last time we played. We had a l:45 tee time and it was 2:15 before we teed off. And they allowed a couple to go in front us that didn't have a tee time and were walking. We barely had enough light to finish our round but others behind us didn't have enough light to finish.

This course is enjoyable for every golfer, lower or higher handicap alike.

From the first step into the Proshop to the last step after 4 hours play this was a most enjoyable experience. The course was in good condition and the greens quite quick. Looking forward to play this course again soon!

Sarasota Golf Course

Staff at this course was overwhelmed the day we played. There were no carts when we arrived for our tee-time and 5 foursomes were stacked up ahead of us. We finally got off 30 minutes late and suffered through a nearly 5 hour round. On several holes there were 5 groups on the same par 4 with no ranger evident to help speed play. Greens were long, slow and scruffy. Although this was a great value it definitely was not worth the aggravation.

Good course for moderate skilled golfer, early in vacation

Course is in v. good condition, wide open with few hazards, as reflected by the fact that I finished with the same ball I started with. Good place to play if you are early in your vacation stay and need to get your golf swing back, or looking for a relaxed, low pressure course to enjoy with your spouse/friends.

Decent value if you are looking to get some practice in..

Played this course on a Friday afternoon was wide open...for $20, great value if you are looking to get a few swings in. The tee boxes were unkept and the fairways were below average condition..but what can you expect for $20? The greens were covered with divots that previous players did not fix...what a shame...Overall, can't expect much for $20 and got exactly what I was looking for...a course to get some swings in!

Worth it

We played the course right after some wet weather. So it had not been mowed. It played a little longer than usual as a result. Having played the course a few years ago I was very surprised at the better conditions. The greens are much better. They were pretty true and not as slow as some of the public courses in the area. A few of the tees need attention and leveling, but they seem to be making progress on that. Some of the sand traps are skimpy and need more sand. All in all I found it to be a value for the price and would play it again.

Nice greens

We played the course about a year and a half ago. The course has come a long way since then. Very nice for the money. Cart paths could use a little maintanance. Overall good deal.

The course offers a moderate challenge. Could have more bunkers or water hazard. Good layout and relaxed round of golf. Definitely one to recommend.

It's green and it's golf

This is one of those old-style courses that are flat and long with doglegs but not many interesting features. It's kind of like a mixture of Bobby Jones American and British. It's walkable and this time, it was enjoyable. Last time I had vowed to never go back because of the poor drainage, which left the middle of the course unplayable. I hope they've got that under control, but in wet conditions, I would ask.
