Manatee County Golf Course
Played On 04/06/2023Nice little course
This course is a decent challenge. It is in relatively good condition. I have played here for several years when I am vacationing and the greens are the best I have experienced over the years. The tee boxes need work and the fairways are quite good. I don’t like hitting off the mats on the range but realize the grass areas need time to regrow. The chipping green is awful and I would prefer to have at least 2 regular holes cut on the practice putting green as opposed to only having posts. All said, I will continue to play this course.

Played On 11/08/2022Very Playable
I usually play here because the cost is reasonable. Having said that, if the greens are not good, I won’t play the course. I have found the greens to be the best I have seen at this course so it is entirely playable for me. What I didn’t like was the range where we are restricted to mats only and a tee will not stick in the mat so you can’t hit a driver.

I have played this course in the past but the condition of the course now is the best I have experienced.

Played On 11/13/2017Poor greens
Overall I enjoyed the layout and the pace of play was good. The staff were friendly and the price was reasonable. The one thing that made the round very poor was the condition of the greens. They had recently been over seeded and were horrendous to putt on. We were not made aware of this at the time of booking or when we checked in. When courses do this or aerate their greens, I feel they owe it to their customers to note that ahead of time. I would have no problem with the course under normal conditions but this ruined the round.

Played On 04/24/2017Lots of doglegs
I found the course to be a good challenge. Never having played it before was a disadvantage on several holes with doglegs. The course was overall in good shape. The greens were of an average speed but they were not really receptive to approach shots. The layout was quite interesting with several very tight holes. All told, it as a very good value.

Played On 05/05/2014poor greens
The staff were friendly and welcoming. We were there early and there was only 2 groups ahead of us. the pace of play was fine. I had no issues with the fairways but some of the tees had sparse grass and the greens had been recently aerated so the sand affected the putts in the early part of the round when the sand was wet and the holes in the greens made overall putting a challenge. The tightness of the driving areas was a challenge that I enjoyed. Overall, I enjoyed the course, just not the greens at this time.
The River Club
Played On 05/02/2014A nice challenge
We found the course to be a good challenge. The 2 nines were a bit different with tight driving areas and smaller greens on the front. The difference provided a bit of a contrast which kept our interest. The course was in good shape--receptive but reasonably quick greens. All in all an enjoyable round.
IMG Academy Golf Club
Played On 04/29/2013The course was well worth the cost. Staff were welcoming and the course was a challenge.
We played early so the pace of play was not an issue. The course was clearly marked with regard to yardages and directions from one hole to the next. The greens were consistent. The GPS systems were helpful but they only gave yardages to the greens---front, middle and back---but being new to the course it would have been more helpful if info re: distances to bunkers and/or water hazards was available.
