Esplanade at Azario Lakewood Ranch

Course in excellant condition. Very good practice areas. Great GPS. Tricky greens.

Playing at Azario is always enjoyable!!! Perfect all around.

Love this course and used to play it all the time. Took 2 years off golf for medical reasons and just started playing again this year. What a change! Course is still great but there are tons of people playing there now. Development is getting built out so you have lots of members + outside play. If you play early AM it's fine but the greens are terribly beat up by the end of the day and the course is pretty slow because so many people are playing. Afternoon price is pretty expensive. You start getting into a value proposition, which for me means I'll be playing there very seldomly now. Still a great course but another local added to the list of ones that are getting too expensive to play regularly.

One of my favorite courses anywhere in the area. Course is always is fantastic condition and staff is very friendly, polite and professional. Course is both challenging and fair for all levels of play. I would highly recommend playing Azario at any opportunity.

This is apparently a relatively new golf course. the fairways were green but the surface is hard as were the surfaces of the greens. The hard surfaces of the fairways gave a nice bounce and roll. but a less nice feel when hitting the ball. The hard surface on the greens increased the speed of the ball and if your ball landed on the green it bounced and rolled off quickly. When the development was build, it seems like the plan was to cut down all the big shade trees because other than some palm trees, there was little or no shade.
After playing 18 holes of golf, we had to get in our car and drive to the next parking lot to have a drink. That was moderately inconvenient. If I am going to pay $125 or more for golf, I prefer an older more mature course. That is why I don't think it is worth the price and would not recommend it to others.

Course is a bombers dream- wide open off the tee. Course's defense in definitely in the slope of the greens, which are very HARD. Did not have to fix 1 ball mark all day. I drove an hour to get there and would go back again.

Great practice area as well.

Course is fine. Staff nice. New. Pretty. Not easy greens as they aren’t raised. Hard fast.

Course was in pure shape. Greens rolling well & contours are wicked. Didn’t see a soul on the back nine with the 4pm tee time take advantage of the afternoon deals

Great practice area, forgiving off the tee and very challenging green complexes. Playing a little later in the day with discounted greens fees is the best bet. For for the budget conscious golfer

All was good. Wide fairways ,course was in fantastic shape. The only kicker was the greens. Super fast and undulating Lots of 3 putts for our foursome. Pin placements were never on flat ground. We could all get there but getting in was challenging. Would definitely go back.
