Wellen Park Golf & Country Club
Played On 03/13/2024Wellen Park Golf & Country Club
Played On 03/01/2024Design issues
Wellen is a great place for high handicappers, firm fairways lots of role. Staff are fantastic , Kelly is amazing, Starter Tom from Macomb big thx! All staff are friendly, welcoming! From top to bottom never been treated better anywhere at every turn. Met Bill, David, always had a great experience meeting players here.
Once this course is fully operational I’m curious how what I feel are design issues will affect pace of play and some safety here. When you look at all the land in the Wellen project having tee boxes like #6 &11, a driving range downwind hitting into #9 tees, just don’t make sense to me.
And #16 is a design afterthought unsafe imo and guaranteed to slow play.
I hear they’re redesigning Sarasota Natl built by the same designer as Wellen, why wait, do it now while you still have options.
Twin Isles Country Club
Played On 02/02/2024Not acceptable
We always love playing Twin Isles. Since the Pope group took the reins the course conditions have never been better, friendly courteous staff.
Yesterday 5 hour round from our scheduled tee time, not acceptable . Imo you’re doing too good a job everywhere else to not rectify this.
It’s always a road block at #4 but nothing like this yesterday ever.
So if you’re going to accommodate regular groups by over booking maybe offer your other customers an honest explanation or perhaps a beverage while we wait, and wait.
White/Blue at Myakka Pines Golf Club
Played On 01/29/2024Always great but
Myakka is always a great play but 4.5 hours yesterday not up to their standards and, as noted in the opening message of the GPS on cart, not up to what they expect for pace of play either.
Sooooo....
Staff always first rate
Heron Creek Golf and Country Club - Oaks/Marsh Course
Played On 12/10/2023Always Fun
Heron creek is always well maintained, best practice facilities for a public course within 100 miles, great staff. Today was amazing pace of play due to cancellations, their loss.
Magnolia Landing Golf & Country Club
Played On 10/31/2023Showing the Wear
We've played Magnolia many times in the Fall & Winter over the years. Love the layout , friendly staff. Amazing to see the growth and building around the course since we first played.
Only been out to a couple of courses locally recently but Magnolia showed the effects of the lack of rain more than others so far, especially the conditions on many of the greens.
With no rain imminent, the staff will be hard pressed I think to fix the conditions. With the seasonal change in rates I have to say compared to my past visits, not a $75+ golf course right now
Twin Isles Country Club
Played On 10/28/2023You Be the Judge
I have played Twin Isles as much as any course in this area of Florida over the last 10 years. I'm fortunate to play a lot of golf at really nice courses during the year.
Saturday I played, IMO, on the finest greens I've ever played on, impeccable, fast, true from 1 - 18, I still can't believe how well manicured and quick they were. Like most courses the lack of rain shows from tee to green but you be the judge.

Maple Leaf Golf & Country Club
Played On 03/04/2023Enjoyable
Met 2 great people Rick & Marion, appreciated the starter pairing us up.
Great pace of play 3 hours, greens very fast, considering the lack of rain great shape overall.
Thank you for taking the time to review your day with us and we appreciate the 5 stars! We'll let Rick & Marion you mentioned them.
Pelican/Osprey at Burnt Store Marina Country Club
Played On 11/15/2022What's Not To Like
Been fortunate to play a number of different courses from Sarasota to Ft Myers this Fall, I'd say all I've played have benefitted from the rain from the Hurricanes and the courses are as lush as ever for this time of year.
That is nothing new for Burnt Store, I've always found the course to be very well maintained, friendly staff. We played this day in just over 2.5 hours.
You have to hit every club you have over 18 holes and lots of carry on most.
All this for affordable price,
Babcock National
Played On 03/31/2022Awesome day but
Babcock has excellent practice facilities and is very well maintained. We were paired with a great couple from Michigan and had a really great time.
Until about the 13 th hole where the dope smoking group in front of us slowed our play to a walk. Have to assume the one guy was David Leadbetter because for the rest of the round we watched him giving detailed instruction on every hole.
If you're going to be a premium course it comes with expectations. Sometimes you have to manage the participants and there was no cavalry coming to our rescue unfortunately.
Low marks on off course amenities because when we finished our round after 6 the pro shop/washrooms were closed.
Pelican/Osprey at Burnt Store Marina Country Club
Played On 03/27/2022Burnt
Really enjoy the course thank goodness we ducked playing the Osprey because the wind was up a bit. Fortunately i play lots of courses and despite the length Burnt Store is well manicured and challenging.
Burnt- cmon 4.5 hours today no way, either change the start times or get somebody out there.
Twin Isles Country Club
Played On 02/12/2022Congrats to the Greenskeeper
We've played Twin Isles many times over the years, just not recently.
The course was in fantastic shape, well manicured and watered.
Always a challenging layout , great day !
Knollwood Golf Club - Old
Played On 09/14/2020Easy Walk
Beautiful day, walked easily. Great pace till #12, no one to encourage pace of play. If you can get a play here for $30 or less fun opportunity. If not look for something in better shape. Lots of GUR all over the course, greens very fuzzy/slow.
Magnolia Landing Golf & Country Club
Played On 04/11/2019Great!
I always look forward to November & April when we can play Magnolia. Great conditions, staff, pace of play , Saw marshalls out throughout the round as silent reminders to keep up. Just under 4 hours for our group.
We had a great pairing thru Golf Now, thanks Mitch, Tom, great time!!
We play year round and you cannot find a better course to play for around $50 anywhere like this.
Played the Greens 70 yrs old 16 HCP great/fair combo for me. Great tee box spacing.
If you've never been here, Heron Glen, Riverwood, do youself a golfing favour today!
Thanks for the 5-star review, we appreciate you taking time to rate us on Golf Advisor. We're glad to hear you enjoyed your time at Magnolia Landing. Come see us again soon!
Misty Creek Country Club
Played On 02/15/2019Too Bad
I played Misty Creek for the first time recently. This course is an excellent test, perhaps too excellent. There are a lot of holes with blind doglegs and first time players might have trouble managing their game because of it, Unless you can consistently hit around 200+ off the box I recommend the Green/White combo still a great test. Great greens.
But our round was ruined by slow play and obvious over booking. Regular members drove by us after giving up and said they never saw it so bad. When I contacted the Golf Director 3 days later he promised to get back to me with an answer. That never happened J., How slow was it? At the turn the halfway hut was closed!
Too Bad.
Too bad for us that a course I'd rate a 4/5 is now a 2 because of the pace of play and lack of response and service,
Twin Isles Country Club
Played On 01/06/2019Back at Twin isles
I've have played Twin Isles many times, many with my wife and couples. IMO maybe the best fit for couples to play in Charlotte area. There are subtle but significant changes at Twin Isles worth mentioning.
They've always had great practice facilities, but now they charge for practice balls. The majority of bunkers on the course resemble waste bunkers, not a credit to the overall condition of the rest of the course, This appears to be a trend here going the wrong way.
Still an excellent play on Golf Now, a great surrounding environment and almost always, excellent pace of play.
White/Blue at Myakka Pines Golf Club
Played On 04/09/2018Excellent conditions
The course has benefitted from aggressive watering and is in great condition, almost too green (slow) on greens. Great pace of play, very windy, we played #3 tees. Staff is very visible on course doing maintenance and it shows.
The Club Renaissance
Played On 03/22/2018Downhill
As a member of the Clublink family, this was always the best conditioned of Florida West courses. Not any more. The fairways are dry, brown, rundown. You can see the lack of attention if you've played there before as our group had. It's about an hour drive for me and until I hear there's been improvement I won't be back.
Twin Isles Country Club
Played On 03/16/2018Bunkers
Twin Isles is one of my favorite plays in this area. Fair cost, great practice area, friendly staff, good pace of play.
My last few rounds the bunkers have deteriorated to being quasi waste in too many places.Not what I'd want in my home course and this one in particular.
We appreciate you taking the time to review the course and rate us, love3310. We are going to pass on your feedback to the team. Thanks for visiting Magnolia Landing Golf & Country Club, and we hope to see you again in the future.
