Lakewood National Golf Club - Commander Course

These greens are enormous, lots of elevation change and breaks, running 11 (watch those downhill putts) and smooth as can be. Course very fair from the tees. Traps well maintained as was the entire course. Looking forward to playing again. Highly recommend.

212pm tee time and we got in a 4 hour round, with room for improvement. Love this course. Conditions, carts with gps, real washrooms, water stations with ice. A class setup.

Lovely course, lots of water, so challenging. A few too many waste bunkers for my liking, but overall a great track

One of my favorite courses I’ve ever played; definitely in the top five . I’m not a great putter but oddly I’m a huge fan of challenging , undulating greens . My golf philosophy is “never a great round unless you’re playing a challenging course..”.
The greens were overall the most aggressive I’ ever played. When the term “ defense of the course “was coined , they were referring to Lakewood National Commander . In my opinion this is a five star gem of a golf course designed for mid to high caliber players who want to be challenged on every level of their game !!!

Great course, greens are amazing. Really have to think about your second shots. And putting is tough if on the wrong side etc. Can be forgiving on a wayward tee shot. I loved this course. Facilities are top drawer.

Love this course. They keep this place sharp. If you can get out there with a member or find a hot deal, it’s even more bang for the buck. A+

Greg Course had a blast shot a better score than usual due to course conditions I think larger greens very playable. A lot of open fairways but you can’t get in the trouble some challenging places as well. Greens were a little slow but I think it’s just the time of the year I went. Very scenic great views. He will enjoy it.

The course was in great shape. They punched the commander course a week and half ago but still was in great condition

Hands down the best course in the Sarasota/Bradenton area. Greens were perfect and fairways well kept.

This is still the best course in the area. I’ve been playing here since it opened and have loved this course from the onset. It’s fair and challenging. It will test ur entire game. It’s a must play.
One tip. Spend some time on the practice putting green. U need to get ur speed down to score.

My wife and I played on Sunday. The course was in great shape. We met some great people from Sarasota. The staff was very friendly and informative about the course. The facilities there were great.
