Definitely recommend

Good course. Great amenities. Good little food hut between 9 &10. Great driving range. Little confusing getting to hole 4 due to construction but will fix itself after construction. Highly recommend. One of the better courses I've played in the last year.

It would have been good to know that the greens were punched before booking the round. No discount up front due to the conditions of the greens. Pace of play poor waited at least 5 minutes and in some cases up to 10 min on every tee box. Fairways and tee boxes in good condition

Fun and challenging

The course was great, water on almost every hole. The tee box, fairways, and greens were in great shape. Only two things I didn't like about it, I was a group of four and we played 2 on 2 best ball scramble. We were not playing slow by any means. We had to let 2 groups of 2 play thru back to back. Why didn't the starter ask them to join together? And we didn't see the cart person until on back nine.

Course was in great shape, even after recent aeration, and greens were fast and smooth. I would rate this course as one of the best, if not the best, in the Bradenton/Sarasota area. Staff was very friendly, courteous and professional in all aspects. Highly recommend playing Azario!

Horrible pace of play

Beautiful course. Pace of play was horrible - slow in front of us and people hitting to us for 18 holes behind. If they would stagger tee times better would be a great course to play. Open fairways very tough greens
