Really Nice
Really nice golf course. Very very wide fairways, but trouble lurks with the huge bunkers, and hidden penalty areas. The course was in very good shape. Nice practice facilities with an all grass aqua range.
Rainy but nice
Played about 11 holes in light cold rain today. Had the course to myself. The course was in great condition.
Lightning fast round. Bonus of finding 55 balls today!
1st time visit
nice course, great conditions though we found the greens very inconsistent especially on the front nine. Very wide fairways so if you hit them straight you are fine but lots of water and bunkers left and right so if you spray they could be in play.
felt like we were the only ones on the course but then again it was only about 55 F so cold for the locals ( and the visitors )
Esplanade second time
Played last year and made a point of returning.
This course is a lot of fun. The fairways are very generous, but still have interesting characteristics to keep it challenging. Greens are large too.
Great conditioning.
Will be back again
Esplanade especial
About a 5-star course - in great condition with very roomy fairways - but I have to knock the overall rating down to 4-stars for
- Poor signage (to get into course, to get to bag drop, to get around the course in some cases),
- Poor cart (bad breaks and no pin location sheet),
- Drinking water in only one or two places that I recall.
Felt you need more yardage markings on sprinkler heads because you have no GPS
Beautiful challenging course
Located within a beautiful gated community this course is well designed and well maintained. The scenery is beautiful. The course will challenge the average and above golfer. Greens are quick but fair. Great value at $40
One of my favorite golf courses on Golfnow
I will drive up from Fort Myers, if i can get it at a reasonable price. Usually in great condition & great layout.
Could use some marshalls to keep the pace of play up.
Too many Northerners play the same tees or distances as home, whereas the ball does not go as far down here.Play up 10% & enjoy yourself.
One of the best
Very happy when paying only $35 for 2.02 starting time.
As pace was fast we finished 18 holes before dusk.
Course in exelent shape.
A day to be rembered.
Nice
Nice course for the money, very forgiving on the front nine. Really nice course
Vince
Best maintained course perfection. Challenging. Pace of play was slowed because a group of 16 arrived late for tee time squeezed in worked out good for them but not those behind them ....
Good layou. nice condition
One of the better courses in the Sarasota area. Well maintained and a decent layout.
Rude staff
Played this course several times. This time was not very good. Payed top dollar for this time of year. Pro shop staff was not friendly at all. The starter may have been the rudest individual I have ever encountered at a course in this area. Probably won’t go back here.
Greens are way to hard, would not hold even the highest shots.
Bad experience.
Bad shape
I have played Esplanade many times and admired the fact it has always been in good shape and the greens have been excellent.
However it’s been over 15 months since I played and it was a real disappointment today as the course conditions have deteriorated with some parts of the greens being almost unplayable.
Shame as this once was a jewel in the Lakewood raunch crown.
One of the best, but...
Unfortunately the greens were recently aerated, and sand was still all over the greens. No putts rolled true, and often good approach shots went off the target. This is a GREAT COURSE and facility, and the price this time of year is significantly reduced, so I know it’s my fault for not calling and checking, as many courses do this at this time of year. However I still had a great time.
A very good golf course
I have played this course about ten times now and have enjoyed it more each time.
It is as challenging as you want it to be based on the tees you play from.
It has a good layout and the fairways are in good shape for this time of year.
Greens are in nice shape and are a little long right now but they can get quick when cut down further, not that you have to hit it hard to get it to your target even now.
Gorgeous course excellent fairways and greens
You could not ask for a course to have better conditions
I wish my country club conditions were as good.
I would go back in a heartbeat
