Good

Good, not great course. Solid for the price. Course itself is an interesting layout. Smallest greens I’ve ever seen and some tight lies. There was some waiting on holes that were close together but the Marshall moved people along, which I really appreciate because some courses don’t do that and it can be brutal. Overall solid day. I’d play this course again for the hot deal price.

Course good pace slow

Course itself is a fun layout. Staff is nice. Good warmup area!

A downside is that the course is that there are a lot of old people and high handicap golfers that are SLOW. Don’t expect to play 18 here in the afternoon!

Course is on the shorter side but by no means is it easy. Requires good golf shots.

In terms of the quality, the fairways and rough were average. Needed to move onto grass at some places.

The greens tho…not good. Very sandy and it looks like the mowers made smell trenches in them.

Course was okay, fun layout. In terms of pricing, it worth about $30 with the current conditions of the greens.

Tee boxes are ok

The fairways are nice

The greens are ok. Roll super slow. Almost like putting on artificial turf. That, coupled with the fact that this course has circus greens is frustrating.

Overall 3/5. Alittle pricey

Course is decent. It’s no Augusta national but I have seen worse. The layout itself is fun and a challenge. Greens are all sloped and have different speeds (some slow, slow fast), which made for a not so fun day putting.

The pace of play is brutal. You will wait to hit shots on this course. No starter to pair ppl up on the first tee. No ranger on the course itself to speed up slower players.

Overall, it’s ok. Gets the job done.

We are in season and the course gets pretty busy this time of year. Starter is here daily and a ranger does get sent out to close the gaps. Thanks for the 4 stars!

Course has a good layout. Greens rolled good. Other than those two things, course is not very good. No grass in the fairways. Every shot is like hitting in sand. Probably won’t play again.

Course kinda stinks

I wouldn’t play here again. Every tee box slants and is not flat. Makes it impossible to aim off the tee. On top of that, this course is very narrow with difficult, fast greens. Not fun as an amateur. Wouldn’t recommend and won’t be back

Thank you for leaving your review. Your title “course kinda stinks” is misleading. Tees are not perfect but are far from your description. You said the course layout was poor of which most think it’s one of the best around. It’s fair to say the wind blew really hard Saturday and you played very poor. Our greens are really fast and based on other courses you okay you aren’t used to it. We are sorry that the course is more difficult than those in your rotation.

Course is in muni level condition. Greens and tee boxes could use work. Certainly not worth more than $30 a round for the quality of the golf course. Free range balls prior to the round was nice and the staff was friendly. Might be back if the conditions improve

Don’t play this course after 1 pm

Too many tee times. Too many old people playing slow and no Marshall speeding up play. Only got 14 holes in bc of the pace of play. Greens are fuzzy like some of the other reviews and are hard to put on.

3 star course

3 stars is fitting. Course itself is a challenging, fun layout. On the flip side of that, course conditions are not very good. Tee boxes are rough, fairways have minimal grass and the greens have roots or ground under repair. Pace of play was good didn’t have to wait at all (they have a dedicated starter). Probably won’t play again just because the conditions don’t merit the price

We are truly sorry that the course didn’t meet you expectations today. We have seen unusually high amounts of rounds played since October and to be honest, during the winter, as nights are significantly cooler, turf growth literally halts until about now when day and night temperatures warm up a bit. The weaker fairway areas are certainly showing stress of cart traffic and a few greens with weak areas definitely are in need of some new growth to kick in. We have just deployed nearly 10 tons of fertilizer to kick off a growth spurt as days get back to 80’s for the daytime norm and 60’s plus at night. We expect to see improvement in turf health in the coming weeks. Seasonal Spring broadleaf weeds also popped thru in recent weeks and we have a full time golf course maintenance group dedicated to getting them eliminated. Again, we apologize for some of the sore spots and please know that we are dedicated to progress in the coming weeks and months ahead. HHGC Mgmt

Solid course.

Solid 4 stars. Some fairways are a bit sandy but you can tell this course is a work in progress. Good mix of open/ tough holes where strategy is important. Pace of play was very good (starter did a very good job and I even saw them driving around making sure everyone was playing up to pace). Will play again and I will recommend to others

Nope. Wouldn’t play agai

Course is in terrible condition. The tee boxes and fairways are brutal. All of the other reviews rave about the greens but I think they are bad. They all roll different and there’s weeds all over them. Pace of play was good until I got stuck behind old ppl. I wouldn’t recommend this course if you’re looking for something nice. Guy in the pro shop was very nice but other than that I won’t be back at this course.

Don’t play here if you hate slow golf

Had to wait to hit every shot from the 2nd hole onwards. Extremely frustrating for a single. The Marshall even drove by a few times and nothing was done. Not going to play again because a slow round is not fun. Don’t play this course unless you want a 5 hour+ round

Decent course. Got a hot deal to play 18 for $16. About what I’d expect for the price. Tee boxes and fairways could use work. Greens were ok. Personally I’d rather play alittle more to play a nicer course.

Don’t play this course after rain

Don’t play this course after it rains. So much water and wet areas that it made my round not fun. Wait until several dry days . Lady in the clubhouse toldme “we shouldn’t even be open it’s so wet”. Could’ve spent my $20 better

Brutal pace of play

Don’t play here if you hate slow play. Waited to hit every single shot of the day. For some reason they send ppl out every 7 minutes and the starter didn’t match anyone up (multiple twosomesand singles infront of us). It’s a real shame because I really liked the course. Not going to be back and wouldn’t recommend this course to anyone just because of the slow play. I’ve played here twice now and slow play was an isssue. Play somewhere else around Bradenton other than this course.

The course was extremely wet which made it difficult to play. Greens are okay. Overall, it was a decent round but I don’t think it was worth the $34.
