People need work

I booked a tee time on a Tuesday after Sunday golf. As thedays went I noticed my tee time said 1 to 4 people needed. So when I got there the head pro moved me from 908am to noon without a phone call or anything, great service, da. Victoria was fantastic and got me out around 9 to accommodate my original booking. We're a threescore, but they put out old guy buy himself with a group of ladies in front of him. The ladies played fast while this old man held up up on every shot. So I left before playing nine.

The reason i.go to this course, its well maintained. The service can be average to poor.

It gets worse.

Can't use a driving range because it's for member only. Paid $127+ for a round that I couldn't practice. The conditions were worst, the fairway was bumpy and muddy. It's just a waste of money. The .ball laid on grass, so your divot is hard mud. They want to go private, that not smart because people leave to go home. Maybe six months away will give them time to repair as their problems.

PEOPLE FORGET ABOUT THIS COURSE

The buttons don't work correctly. I'm 12 handicap and I golf 4 times a week.

Needs work

The course and lay out is nice. The fairways need a lot of work, there muds all over the fairways and they cut the grass down tithe dirt. If you look at Jacaranda Golf Course the fairways are beautiful and plush and go to Venetian its a world of difference.

Needs work

The layout is good, but I wish they get rid of all weeds, fill in the bear spots the course would be more pleasure . It would be nice to have tee boxes or even ground in the tee boxes.

Needs a little work

Course needs work, it has a lot of weeds. But what bothers me the most, they closed ALL tee boxes. I WOULD OF THOUGHT KEEP 2 OPEN, WORK ON 2 OR WOOR ON 3 AND KEEP SOMETHING OPEN. A lot of tee boxes are uneven.

It's not about money.

The course was in great shape. Staff is not real friendly and they put 2 people to a cart or you have to pay extra. Now keep what I justsaid, the staff tries to convince people when they put people off the back nine it's not about getting more money. The reason people go off the back 9 is due to the heat in Florida. People knew the heat when they moved to Florida and when they booked their tee time too.

Needs a little work

I do enjoy golfing at Charlotte Harbor, some are very challenging because par 4 can play over 400 yds. Bryan does a great job of getting you in and out, plus he makes people feel like their valued ( not like Boca royale in Englewood). Sara. Who was the cart girl and the starter was very personable, even though she goes to University of Kentucky LOL.

Staff not friendly

The staff isnt friendly at all. Seems like the owner really doesn't care much too. I booked a round golf through GolfNow, I quit golfing after the.6th hole because I started to fillI'll. I haven't been golfing much due to a very difficult operation which kept me in bed for 4 years. I went in to ask for a rain ck for 9 holes. Scott really didnt want to give me any credit because I went thru GolfNow. Well he said how about after 1 , then noon, I told him to keep it. The owner reaches out wants to check in regarding this incident, never heard from him. It's not hard to run a business. but first he must learn all business have 2 clients. They are internal and external from what I heard the internal client are treated nicely. Maybe that's why the employees like to think their better than the external clients.

Staff not friendly

I wrote big review on 5/28/20,on how Scott treated me like a 3ed rate citizen. I became very I'll while playing, which I didnt finish the 1st 9 holes. Since I went through GolfNow, Scott didn't want to give me a rain check, but he decided to give me one for after 1, than went to noon. I only golf in rearly mornings, so I told him to keep it. With any other course I would of recieved a rain check for anytime. I been in bed for 4.years due to a poor surgery, so I have to work my back into shape of playing golf. I believe in tipping but most of their staff doesnt appreciate the money. I make people feel like their doing us a favor of golfing there. Go to Jacaranda Golf Course , they make you feel at home and appreciate the $5 tip.

Jacaranda friendly staff and not nearly as rude

AFTER GOLFING TODAY 5/28/20 AT 730AM, ITS DIDN’T TAKE LONG TO SEE THAT THEIR STAFF IS RUDE AND NOT VERY INVITING TO COMER AGAIN. I BEEN IN BED FOR 4 YRS DUE TO A VERY BAD BACK OPERATION. LAST AUGUST I FINIALLY HAD A PAIN PUMP INSTALLED IN MY BODY. SO, WHEN I GO GOLFING, I HAVE TO TAKE ROUGHLY 9 TO 10 MEDS JUST TO PLAY. I WOKE UP NOT FEELING WELL, BUT I DECIDED TO PLAY BECAUSE I DON’T BELEIEVE ITS RIGHT TO CANCEL THE LAST MINUTE. AGTER PLAYING A FEW HOLES I JUST COULDN’T CONTINUE. I WENT IN AND ASKED SCOTT FOR A 9HOLE RAIN CK. IT WAS LIKE PULLING TEETH, well you went through GOLFNOW, OK AFTER 1PM AND THEN AFTER 12PM. I ALWAYS PLAY IN THE MORNING. I WANT MY GOLF GAME TO BE RESPECTFUL BEFORE I MEET ANYONE TO GOLF WITH. Even that will be hard meeting people living in Venice. If I asked for a rain ck from any other courses it never been a problem even if it’s through GOLFNOW. When I get back into shape and able to golf, Ill end up spending thousands of $ buying clothing. UNFORTUNATELY, I PUT ON WEIGHT OVER THES LAST FEW YEARS IN BED. John slightly mention that he gets complaints about how rude the staff is. This isn’t a hard problem to fix, but the owner doesn’t seem to care about his staff or how they treat people. SO PEOPLE GO TO JACARANDA GC, WHERE THE STAFF APPRECIATE THE TIPS AND YOUR COMPANY.

Unfriendly

Even though I was a single and had the first tee time of the day, the starter Bob let a threesome out before a single. He walk away when I asked "doesnt it make sense for a single to go first"? I decided to go to the tee, but the threesome was still there and luckily they had golf etiquette. I tee off and they never saw me again.

Unfriendly

Only problem I encounter was the staff was friendly, I even said bad mood. He did apologize. But it stated there and continued with other staff members. Course played at god pace ,even saw Marshall's. Between the 9th and 10th the food shack was opened for food, even though someone sold use 3 beers.

I heard there is a new owner.

The first person you meet is the starter, he is the perfect person to see first. He friendly and like to make sure everyone is comfortable.

I Heard there is a new owner, so it needs some work yet. The fairways need work, they are cut down to the dirt. The sand seem to be water down, so ball would run through or buried in the sand. If they correct these area's, this course is great. Just needs a little work, so maybe the summer will bring it back.

Don't get me wrong, I going back because it beat me up.
