Great Value

P Isle is a wonderful public play course. Easy to walk and worth the money to walk unless you not capable. Cart price is a bit steep $18. It’s not the most perfectly groomed course but greens are adequate and roll nice. Fairways are decent but tee boxes could use a trim. What really makes the course is it layout. Big trees and short tight par 4s on 2/3/4 and picturesque long tight driving par 4 9th make the front. The back 10/11/12 are the best holes on the course. 10 a tight par 5 with trouble left and right and in front of green. Bust a bomb drive and you can get home in 2 although that’s rare because it usually into the wind. 11 is a tough tight driving hole dogleg left. Drive it in the fairway your left with and up hill mid to long iron into a 3 tiered green. 12 drive it straight to a20 yard wide fairway or your pitching back to the fairway and wedging on. Hit the sliver of fairway and you catch the speed slope to a 100 yard wedge and possible birdie. The course is a wonderful layout without the perfect conditions. Well worth the money and challenging enough for the low handicap.

Well done

Other than the booking problem they had with GolfNow them booking multiple tee times for the same. The pro and starter made it work. Staff was very friendly and accommodating. During this covid period staff was prepared with precautions in play. Separate cards. Course was in fine condition. Greens rolled true although a bit slower than normal but probably was dictated by the enormous amount of rain in May. Always a fun track to play. Good mixture of tough and scoring holes. Trees have grown a bit over the years creating some challenging tee shots. Didn’t realize how much I missed the course. Will be back again soon.

Always good

Start was delayed a bit by lighting. Course held well with the rain. Has always been in good shape with fast greens in the 15 plus times I’ve played over the years. Staff was friendly and accommodating. Price was the going rate for the area and weekend. Pace of was great. We were 2 following a 2 with 4somes in from. We never waited. Finish in 345. Only negative was no halfway house attendant. Might of been because of the rain and cancellations. The bar inside was good and friendly after the round. Always a treat to play.

Nice track

Very nice course. Very tight driving from the tee. Nothing quirky though. Really enjoyed the layout. Greens were perfect. Traps were good. Fairway s nice. Tee boxes a bit spotty. At least the black tees. The course definitely challenging. Will play again when In Siesta area

Bring your A game

Played El Campeon for the first time. Very challenging layout. Prior course knowledge would really help. Conditions were excellent. Pace of play was a bit slow. 5. Hrs. Difficulty of the layout has something to do with that. Nice elevation changes along with plenty of water and island greens. Speed of greens was nice. Plenty of cart service during play. When I return to Florida in a few months Mission Inn a definite stop. Both courses are great.

Bad day for the grounds crew

Came out on a beautiful Wednesday afternoon. Unfortunately we went out behind an outing that was an hour ahead. Pace of play got real slow an hour in. Took 5 hours to play. I understand it’s a very challenging layout to which I enjoy. Was very difficult to find get any rhythm going waiting every shot. With that being said I played Bowes for years and it’s one of my favorite layouts. The greens were beat up and slow for this course. I’ll just chalk it up to a bad day and give it another try maybe later in the fall. Was we worth &45. Hopefully that’s not why it’s that price.

Top notch

Staff did nice job greeting you at bag drop. Starter was friendly. Played here last year. Condition s haven’t changed. Still excellent. Went off about 815am as a single. I soon caught another 2 some and joined up and played last 14 holes with them. Pace was great finished the front in 140. The we caught a couple of 4 somes. Pace slowed a bit. 4 hour round. Greens were in great shape. A bit slower than last year. I believe they had just over seeded for winter so the seed kept getting all over the ball when putting. Just part of the season. Fairways and tees were excellent. Las Colinas is nice layout and test. Some tight holes. Some generous fairways off the tee. Joy to play and well worth the $

2nd time

Course was is in much better shape than last year. Greens were well groomed. Slower than most but but better shape than previous year. Pace of play was excellent along with the value. Love the free lunch and drink included Staff was very accommodating and attentive. The conditions from previous year definitely helped the experience. The course layout very fair with a few challenging tee shots and approaches. Good value for the money

Great Layout

Sarasota National was in excellent shape. For Florida golf generous landing areas. Greens excellent shape. Green and fast!! Went to play alone and have played with friendly players. When in the Venice area play is a must.

Pleasant Surprise

This ones a hidden gem. Course was in excellent shape. Greens where rolling true and fast with no bare spots. Fairways cut nicely and tight. Layout was a nice mix of tight holes and open holes off the tee. Nice play avoided where you have to play a mix of clubs off the tee. Longish par 3s rangingfrom 170s to oover 200 from the back tees. Only issue was the distance between a few holes. You definitely wouldn’t walk this course.

It’s a must play if your an hour north Orlando.

New layout

The course was in good shape. Greens not as fast as the ones years ago. The redesign is not as good as the old. New holes are just ok. Staff was great and accommodating. Still one of the better ones around Orlando
