Post season wear?

I have played here many time in other years and it was always good. This day was pretty rough. I don't like giving low reviews post season because traffic takes a toll. That being said, there is no sand in the traps and multiple types of grass on the greens. Fairways are hard and lumpy. Get a hot deal and it's something to do for a day. One thing that has not changed is the nice people and it runs on time.

After season wear

Showing some pretty good wear, after most of the season. This place is always packed. Greens were a little slow and some sick spots. Fairways were hard and trampled. Having said all that, this is still a fun track and one of the best values in golf courses around the area at only $60.. there's not a driving range, just a few pads to warm up on with irons only. The food is great and low cost with a full resteraunt and bar and also food on the turn that could not be quicker to get. I'm a 7 handicap

About to be rebuilt

This course is in great shape except for the greens, which have been sprayed and are now dead brown. The greens are playable and running at about 13, so very fast. This place is and has always been special, can't wait til next winter when the rebuild that will start soon is finished!

Fun track

Tee boxes, fairways and greens in good condition, speeds were about a 10. I paid $66 so with today's pricing it was definitely worth that.. This is about equal with The links at Greenfield Plantation in my opinion. I'm a 7 handicap and play all over.

Fun!

This is a very fun track to play! A couple tight holes but not unreasonable. Lots of wildlife as well. Greens and fairways were in great condition, speed was good not to fast and not too slow, prolly a 10. A few thin areas near the wooded edges but it's hard to grow grass on shade. A great play now that the price is down, I paid 79

Open feeling

Perfect greens, fairways short grass hard wide and fast so a lot of roll. Just a snack bar so far for food but they had hot dogs and brats! Employees were very nice and most everything else is only a couple years old at the most, fun track, I paid 85 and that was about right.

Fun Track

Fairways, greens and Tee Boxes good, not awesome but good, greens were a little bumpy, great layout, course management is key. This course is generous in width and green size. Would be a lot more fun for about $75 but west coast of FL Golf is all over priced. Really nice resteraunt. O lot of much needed cart path repair was happening with concrete.

Intriguing course

1/2 the course is a nature preserve so we saw deer, raccoons, cranes with little ones, Gators and so on. The course is very well kept, Tee boxes are showing a little wear due to heavy play but greens and fairways are in nice condition. This is a fun and unusual track to play. It's fair in width and green size. Great people!

Always Stunning

Greens Fairways and Tee Boxes in great shape. Greens will hold a ball and are nicely quick. Cart comes around with everything you need. Course management is key here. Bunkers have perfect sand and plenty of it. I'm an 8 handicap and play all over the area, this is the most beautiful course for the money with all the water.

So green, lush and fun

I've golfed here several times and written several reviews and this place never disappoints. I'm always greeted by people who want to take care of me from the time they take the clubs out of the car to the time they return them to the car it's a great experience every single time. I do not believe it is possible to have a better practice facility , a few drinks chipping sand putting you name it they have it and it's all beautiful. There are separate training pros for men and women and they are both very very good, I've used them! Greens are very active and challenging, they are also usually fast and are always smooth. The Fairways are wide and the grass is perfect from end to end. Just get here and golf it. I'm a 8 handicap and have golfed all over the USA and this is very high on my list!

Greens are the best part

This is a very playable course, greens were decent no real bumps and in nice condition. This course seems to get a lot of play. Fairways in ok condition, and a little hard so using a wedge was a little tough on the wrist. Tee boxes nice. 19th hole is awesome with full bar and great food, full practice area with all the balls you care to hit right there. Bunkers were ok with enough sand.

Beautiful but not quite mature

This course is priced right in comparison to the other courses in the area, greens are perfect and fast, fairways are full grass and green. Bunkers have deep soft sand. The course features wide Fairways and large greens. The beverage cart visits regular, just know that you have to pack a sandwich. There are no restaurants in the area and no food at the course. They have plenty of beer, soft drinks and snacks. If they had sandwiches on the cart and a hotdog roller in the pro shop it would be perfect! I will be back!

Best in the area

This course is the best in the area for public play, the practice area has no public equal, its huge with separate sand, chipping g driving and putting, the course is perfect with true second and third cuts. The greens are fast and very curvy. Fairways are wide and lush. Lots of visits from the beverage cart and good food.

Perfect weather
Used cart

well Maintained

This is a great play. Tee boxes, fairways and greens good. The greens were consistent throughout and receptive and of decent size, prolly read about a 9-10. Course management applies here but also plays fairly, a couple tight fairways but not unreasonable. This is a partial nature preserve so lots of wildlife like deer, racoons, gators and birds. The course was very green in comparison to other courses. pace of play was well managed, we finished in 4 hours, which is great for this time of year. There is a restaurant and bar on site and also regular visits from the beverage cart. The electric carts are brand new. This is not a highly polished course but that is what is nice about it.

Best value

I've played $150 dollar courses and $35 courses and this place is the best value in the Lakewood Ranch area by far. Tee boxes, fairways and greens are in great shape, people are five g most of their marks and respecting the course. It'd just a fun play, if you want challenge just move back a box. I'm an 8 handicap and still like it!
