Nice golf, staff friendly beside marshall

Golf in good shape. Warm welcome when we arrived. Played in 4h08 not good enough for the Marshall who has been harassing for the last 7 holes and threathen us. First time it ever happened in more than 30 years… Aside of his behaviour, I would recommend the course. Staff is friendly, greens were firm and well maintained.

Great Condition

The course was in great condition especially for the price. Fair and challenging at the same time. A few holes that you need to play a few times to understand where to hit it. Greens were very good and quick.

New course that was well developed and even in the first year well grown. At the price I paid, well worth the play.

Nice changes

A municipal course recently renovated from two courses,to one flat well maintained course. Fairways and greens were watered. A large selection of tee boxes. I am not sure the merger of the British and American courses makes itt a better layout, but there is certainly less to maintain. We enjoyed our one round. Temporary clubhouse, with plans for a nicer facility.

Great up and coming course

Used the huge practice facility the night before I played here. I was in heaven...three pitching/chipping/sand practice greens, a range, and a huge putting green. The course was also in good shape and was very open, fun, and straight forward. Staff was all friendly and helpful and I think this place will even get better as time goes on.

Sarasota - well done.

The City of Sarasota consolidated two courses into one nicely maintained course. The course is mostly green, a rarity in dry Florida. They water both fairways and greens. The course is relatively flat and playable, several tees to choose from. Plans for a nice three story clubhouse in the works. I enjoyed my round.

Very playable

The greens were in great shape and putted true. Fairways very good shape as were the traps. Very forgiving fairways for drives.

Goodbday

First time playing this course. We had a reduced rate. Course conditions were pretty good, I had grass under my ball for the most part - some courses I play don’t have that. Greens were in good shape & rolled good. Most tee’s were very dry & hard to peg. Hit a few range balls but didn’t use other practice facilities which looked very nice. Cart girl was friendly, only seen her twice during round, no big deal for me. Cart guys greeted us on arrival and starter was friendly. Pace of play was somewhat slow, had to wait on most holes.

Worst golf experience this season!

2 hours and 55 minutes to play nine holes.
Your Marshalls have all the excuses possible.
Both par 3’s on the front nine were backed up with 3-4 groups waiting.
Will never wait another day at this course.

Uninspiring

After all the wait for the course to reopen, not overly impressed. Had waited for a good Hot deal to come up, wasn't willing to pay the $90-100 they were getting during "the season". Got lucky & got a deal for $60 & honestly after playing it, doubt would return again for that price. To me its a $50 course tops!! A very "vanilla" & uninspiring golf course. IMHO lacks any character at all. To be fair, course is in very nice condition, except for rock hard greens & tee boxes, which are to be expected on a brand new course. Time should take care of that, but a little extra watering on the tees would sure help!! GREENS ARE VERY NICE, FAST & TRUE. Fairways & bunkers all nice & well maintained. You have to hit your ball WAY out of play to find any rough, so cant comment on that, but it did look like not much penalty there.....the fairways here are huge & almost impossible to miss!!!!! To make matters worse, the pace was dreadfully so.....just under 5 hours to play!!! All the staff we interacted with were super friendly, and really try to make this an upscale golf experience, but the blandness of the course really doesn't allow that to happen. Honestly, the old courses when they were kept in good shape were MUCH better than the "new" course. No way would I ever pay $90 to play this course......sorry!!!!
