I was able to play the course for $160 on a mid-day Monday.. The course is absolutely gorgeous and perfectly manicured from tee box to green. Each hole held a spectacular view of the landscape. The greens were fast, true and fair. We got behind a few groups at the turn but the pace was still very good. This course earned its top honors for a good reason!

The Waldorf did not disappoint. Fee includes Valet parking, use of the practice facilities, cart and ice cold water. Plenty of stops along the course to freshen up on ice and water. The course was in great shape and the greens rolled perfectly. I was paired with another player and we finished our round in a little over 3 hours. Will definitely have to play this course again when I return.

The layout of the course was good and the surroundings were serene and beautiful. The greens need a lot of TLC with many looking more "black" due to the lack of grass. We were attacked by a swarm of mosquitoes on hole 14 or 15. It was still an enjoyable day, but it could have been better.

Got a Hot Deal on Golf Now for an afternoon round with my son. We were paired with a wonderful couple from Michigan. Weather was perfect and course conditions were outstanding. Finished the round in a little under 5 hours. Beware the wind!
The only gripe I have is that we rented premium clubs which were a bit dirty. It would have been nice to clean the grips before renting to the next customer. Get there early to take advantage of the fantastic practice facilities.

Played the Snow course in a little over 3 hours during twilight hours (2:50 pm tee time) on Sunday afternoon. Great course conditions with gentle breeze. Picturesque settings with water, desert and mountain views. Wonderfully relaxing with no one playing behind me. Only negative comment is that GPS didn't work. Course however had plenty of yardage markers. Rental clubs were a nice set of Taylormade Jetspeed clubs. Will definitely come back to play again.

I was paired up with a three-some and set out on a delightful morning round of golf. Playing from the blue tees made it more challenging, but the course is very fair. From tee box to greens, the course is extremely well maintained with beautiful surroundings. The round through GolfNow was a bargain, and I will definitely be back when I come back into Tampa. This course is worth driving the 40 miles from Bradenton.

Waterlefe is located in an exclusive gated community and starting your round took a little longer as you have to clear the guard and find your way to the clubhouse. Practice balls are hit into a pond, and there is a large putting green nearby. I was warned by the Starter that many people call the course "Watergrief," and I would soon find this an accurate statement for me. Lost a few (okay, more than a few) balls to the water hazards. The course is well-maintained to pristine and the backdrop is the Manatee River, making some holes breathtaking. The course is a real treat to play and I hope to return when I am in the area.

Played as a single and was added to a threesome. The pace was a little slow, but each hole had unique challenges and breathtaking views. Used most clubs in my bag. Lots of sand bunkers. Trees are in play on a few opening drives. Fun course. Would play again.
