Wellen Parkp

Wellen Park has a decent layout. We were given a golf cart that nearly broke down on the 1st fairway. I called the Clubhouse and there was a replacement brought to us before we teed off on the 2nd hole. . The pace of play was good. We finished our round in about 4 hours. The Beverage cart woman Bethany was outstanding. She was very attentive. We saw her multiple times through out the round.
The subdivision surrounding the golf course is under construction. The Clubhouse is a trailer. There are Porto potties on the course because the permanent ones are not completed yet. My one complaint is $109+ green fees is over priced. I would only play this course again if the price dropped below $70 which is comparable to most other public courses in Sarasota and Manatee Counties. In summary, nice track, great staff but overpriced.

Bent Tree October

My friends and I really enjoyed our round. The layout is very forgiving. The only draw back was the holes in each green appeared to be a few days old. One of our guys in our foursome used to be a groundskeeper. He pointed this out after one of the guys in the group had a second putt lip out.
Bent Tree is a value for the money. It has a lot of potential with some TLC and is fun to play.

Tatum Ridge is a good public course to play in Sarasota. The layout is challenging at times like Hole #13 but overall a good value.

St. Andrews #1 Course

The staff was very friendly. The pace of play was outstanding for a Sunday 10:47 tee time. We finished in 3 hours &35 minutes. The course was in good shape. The practice putting green was very fast. The Greens on the course, not so much. Had some 3 putts getting fooled by the speed. Would recommend this course.

Phillips Park

The Staff was very accommodating. Our original tee time was for 1:22. The Pro allowed us to Tee off @12:06 to beat the incoming Rain. We played through a steady drizzle on the Front9. The Back 9 was in great shape. The staff was friendly. The Course was in great shape. The Greens rolled true. I would highly recommend this course.

Monarch Beach Links

This course had some beautiful views. Holes 3 & 4 were phenomenal. The GPS on the Golf carts were annoying. Way too many advertisements not much information about the course layout or distance on each shot. First time playing MB. Staff was friendly. Food was really good. Snack shack is after the 5th hole which was different. Overall experience was good.

The Links of Carillon

We played the Red & White 9's.
The course was in good shape. It is a very interesting layout. The amenities were okay. The cart person was trying to cover three 9 hole courses. She was very nice. Just spread a bit thin. The pace of play was typical for a Sunday about 4.5 hours. We signed up as a two-some and were paired up with a husband & wife. We made the turn in 2:10 and played a little slower on the 2nd nine. Overall a nice staff at Carillon and a good layout.

Village Greens of Woodridge

The staff at Village Greens is wonderful. The pace of play for a Sunday was ok. 4 hours 20 minutes teeing off @3:21pm. The only drawback are the bunkers, virtually no sand, sometimes hard & crusty. The rest of the course is in good shape. The greens roll well. The fairways are well groomed. Overall a very positive round of golf for a Sunday afternoon. A great value for the western suburbs.

Carriage Greens

Carriage Greens staff was very friendly. The course is an interesting layout with a lot of doglegs. The Greens were exceptional. Beautiful. However, there wasn't a Beverage cart on the course. Just a shack at the turn. There was only one Water cooler on the course on Tee box of Hole #7 which was nearly empty at 4:00pm on a hot 90 degree Sunday. We started on Hole#10. Hole#7 was our 16th hole. Over all it was a good round. Look forward to my next round @ Carriage Greens.

River walk Friars/Presidio

This course was in really good shape. The Friars 9 was very forgiving. A nice layout with some sporty Par4's. The Presidio 9 was more difficult. I was fortunate to be paired up with an 9 Handicap local who was more than willing to give course advice.
The Staff was friendly and the value for Riverwalk is outstanding. I look forward to my next visit to San Diego to play this track again.

Kahili GC

This course is a gem. The staff was very friendly . They have a beautiful clubhouse/pro shop. The course was in a good condition with wide fairways and fast greens. The course layout was challenging but not overly demanding. The most difficult thing to deal with was the Wind. It was blowing up to 30-35 mph at times. I drove 35 minutes from Kanapali to play this course . Well worth the commute for the value. I would highly recommend Kahili to anyone visiting Maui or if you are fortunate to already live in this paradise .

Maui Nui GC

The staff was very friendly at Maui Nui GC.
The course was is in good shape. The greens were a little slower than what I am used to playing.
The pace was good on the Front 9 as I played through a two-some. On the back was a different story 2.5 hours as I waited over every shot. We are staying in Lahaina. It was a 40 minute drive to Kihei that was well worth it. Good value for my first round in Maui. I would love to play Maui Nui again on this vacation. GPS on the Cart was helpful.

Phillips Park

The course was in good condition. We teed off 30 minutes after our scheduled 12:05 tee time. There were a lot of weekend warriors on the course=slow play. The front nine which is a classic Links lay out took us about 2 hours and thirty minutes. The back nine which is very different with lots of hills. Play was slower on the back and we finished in 5 hours and 15 minutes. The Ranger did his best but with a record number of golfers per the Starter, the round took longer than we expected. We still enjoyed the course. Plan to play Phillips Park again probably on a week day.
