one of the better courses in venice, fl

great greens wide open fairways blue white courses fair red a little difficult fairways very good staff starter friendly pro shop ok good round will play again

most of greens in rough condition. putting doesn't run true as there are several rough spots. fairways and tees very good, but with greens this bad, rather not play course again.

beautiful course-greens superb-fairways and tees in very good condition. played turtle run not deer run.

Last time played was in December 2021-4-5 months ago-course is still pleasant to play, but the greens haven't been kept up since last time- they seem to be little thin and lack enough watering. ?I know it's been a dry winter in the area, but properly maintained greens are a plus for playing golf. enough said-I also noticed the prices to play here since January have been high and waited for a discount on one of the sites. If you can get a decent round price-this is definitely a place to play.

course is in excellent shape but pro shop didn't want to accept my tee now booking on line would like to book again but Leary of using tee now due to resistance at course in accepting this type of reservation. eventually was allowed to play.

just right not too difficult but you have to play-fairways excellent-so many courses in florida are cut too short and make it difficult to hit your ball from-not here, just the right amount of grass-greens are pleasant and putting is fair. I was a single and foursome let me through on back nine-3.5 hours to play 18-not bad. Eventualy paid up with another single. a pleasant young guy-25 yrs old, nice personality. That's what golf is about-sometimes you hook up with nice people on the course.

very challenging with beautiful greens-putted the best in a long time. had two birdies one a short putt and another unexpected chip in. Few holes on back nine difficult due to small opening out of gate tee area to fairway. most holes are different from each other-makes for a fun round. you can walk if you like-level and not too long. save $10 in the process.

This is where all mid to high handicappers want to play. Not too long-just right from white tees-about 5800 yds. Long courses 6200+ are foolish for this type of player. Fairways are neither narrow nor extra wide, but only lost one ball for round. The best thing are the greens, small but very easy to put on. I would say the greens are the best to put on all year I played throughout Central NY. The putting grass is short, but the balls go very accurate to the hole. They are not lightening fast like some courses.

All in all I would say you get a true roll, which is very seldom to be found.

Most holes are different from each other and offer challenging golf.
The greens are somewhat difficult due to their condition, but still potable, as other reviews were very negative on. This course is fun to play,much online others, and if I can get a good rate again, will certainly replay it.

An amazing course. Each hole is different,
Feels like you are on a pro course.
In fact years ago, the LPGA had a tournament here.
Fairways are well kept and greens superb.
Had a very pleasant round. Will definitely come again.

I can't really say why I didn't like this course. The holes are pretty, but it's just really difficult to score well here.. The greens are just ok, they are neither fast or slow. Maybe if they were cut a little lower, your ball would have more speed/accuracy.

A very pleasant round. Was paired up with another snowbird who plays course twice a week.
Had a great round and will probably start playing here once a week.
As I mentioned putting here is easier than other course with slow greens. You just need to adjust to the very fast ball movement.

not too difficult-not too easy just right. . You will need a good game to score well. some pars are achievable and rewarding, so you'll enjoy your outcome.

Usually play in Nov/Dec. as I'm a snowbird. Prices rise in Jan. makes it difficult to afford. Came back to Florida this June for a few weeks. Played Sarasota National again. Forgot how much I love this course.
Wide open fairways-great greens, super fairways/rough to hit 2nd ball from. This is it-best course around.

first time playing-loved the course. Didn't lose a ball for 18 holes. greens are great and grass in fairway and rough fine to play off. very enjoyable round. Can't afford to play in winter as rates much higher and course doesn't give a discount at that time due to popularity. I can see why.

What a great course. The best to play in Central New York.
Hilly-challenging, but delightful to play. I got a great rate thru golf now, but even at regular rates you'll enjoy your round.
Each hole is fun and a pleasure to play. I had a brand new cart and played 18 holes in 3 hours. What can I say. Don't miss this course.

Great course to play-in very good condition-only a few holes are wet. Most are very playable. Greens in good condition-fair to putt. Very little sand or water to cause difficulty. A pretty course-enjoyable to play. Not too challenging or too easy-just right. Cart preferable as walking 18 could get tiresome.

This is a great course, very scenic, challenging holes, but too early in season to play as many parts are very wet. Probably late May it will dry out, and I'll return.
Regardless, the greens are already in great shape, and fun to putt on. They are larger then most other local courses, and easy to hit on with your second shot.

very fun to play. not challenging but not easy.
just very enjoyable pleasant round.
Although you are around houses, they aren't that close. There are 3-4 holes you can hit a wood on. the holes play clearly but it is very hard to often par.
Definitely fun to play.

Very good playing conditions. Course is extremely challenging. Need to place shots when water is alongside drive shot. Played early in morning and dew was factor on chip shots, especially if hit on grass near green-no roll at all. Much different when dew went away after a few holes.
Somewhat costly to play, need to get discount rate and
would definitely play again.
