Only open to the public in the FL off-season!

This is a private course & only open to the public during off season. It is a beautiful & well maintained course. It is a bit hard to navigate, so watch closely for signs to next tee. A few club members and the starter seemed none too happy with us non-members playing their course. Starter told our foursome we were not really supposed to be there, that GolfNow really screwed up giving us a morning tee time. He was rude and clearly annoyed we were there. This outing was a scouting round for us. We and our spouses are locals and are looking for a home course and club. We really love this golf course, but all of us were very offended and put off by how we as visitors were received and treated!

One of the best courses in Tampa/Sarasota area.

Beautiful layout, exceptionally well maintained fairways and greens, fast true-roll putting surfaces, with well maintained sand traps and bunkers. Best practice facility I have seen in FL. My favorite course!

Exception course and experience for the price.

The long, narrow fairways are challenging. The undulating greens are well maintained and very fast. Suggest a few minutes on the practice putting green before teeing off. You will not be disappointed.

This course had excellent greens.

The course was in good condition and the greens were true and very fast. Putting was a challenge, as it should be. Loved playing here. Will again.

Course is well manitained and in pristine condition. Superb staff.

This course provides a unique layout, with well maintained sand traps (green side and fairway bunkers) that require accurate distance shots into the green. Fairway water hazards require the golfer to shape shots to reach greens in regulation. Greens were superb with consistent fast speed from start to finish.
