Love the layout

Been playing here a long time. Seems like they been improving the place forever, but things are coming along. The greens look great, they needed to be cut and rolled, but they are coming in. Same with the fairways, but you can tell they are putting money into it to improve it. They got brand new carts which are great. I wish they would switch the holes back around. 9 use to be 18 which I always thought was a great finishing hole. Pace was great. I like the driving area is into water. Wildlife on the coarse is great. The parking lot and cart path need redone dramatically, but I think it's something they are getting ready to do. It's always fun here and for years I've been hearing they are sinking money into it. I do wish they would get the fairways straightened out. They didn't roll at all and we're a bit patchy but like I said it looks they are manicuring it. So overall it was enjoyable and always do enjoy playing here

One dollar extra fee, not cool!

One dollar extra fee, not cool! The course was pretty good but in spots lacked grass. I was charged an extra dollar to become a member for a year which supposedly is in the very very very fine print when you sign up through Golfnow.The staff member was very rude with me when I complained. Overall a good experience they need to drop the one dollar fee, it is not fair!

Dennis,
I understand your frustration with not understanding our member for a day program as you booked through the hot deal. It says specifically $1 membership card must be purchased. Please be consistent with your message when leaving two reviews for the same day.

Golfnow members are 2nd class citizens

We were told we couldn’t get a cart until 10 minutes before our teatime because we were golfnow members. I asked if we could get a cart so my handicap friend could go putt and they said no. The course needs work and is pleasant enough as cheap as it was, but not worth being treated like that

Thank you for leaving this review. Why don’t you tell the true story. You came in and weren’t sure of your tee time which was at 12:52. Or policy is we do not give cart keys out 20 minutes before a rate change Which was at 12:45. You cursed at the person behind the counter and we told you not to use language like that in our business. You then left is a tussle and came back cursing at me in my office and you were told that the course will call golf now and get you a refund. You said I’m already here. Had you shown an ADA card you’re would get a cart earlier as we are very accommodating to those in need. Golf is a game of integrity and class and when you come in to our Club with a different attitude expect to be treated appropriately. Thank you for never coming back to our club as you are not welcomed here.

Great day and great course

The layout and maintenance of this course were excellent. The par 3’s were very fun and interesting. Hole 9 is crazy and very challenging. Overall it was an enjoyable course to play. They also have 6 different tees to accommodate a wide variety of skill levels.

The pace of play

Each time I play this course I finding is never too crowded. We never feel rushed and never have to pair up with strangers. The course is challenging enough to keep us interested.

Easy drive from Sarasota. The course looks to be in survival mode. Pro shop not overly friendly. No one at bag drop. Got my own cart and loaded my clubs...no big deal..Got out early as they said the course was wide open. Since I chose to go off as a single I played very quickly and caught the men’s club at 14...They are a very grouchy bunch and never acknowledged me or said hello. I drove in and did not play the last 5 holes. Greens are good fairways average but did not enjoy the layout. Wind was howling so maybe that diminished my enjoyment..Lots of courses in Sarasota and south and will not be returning even if it is free.

Thank you for leaving your review. We do not understand your “survival mode” comment as it does not pertain to this golf course. We have a great layout, one of the best in the area and feel that for the price it is also a great value. The hot deal you played on was an even better value. Thank you for giving us a try as holes 8-14 “the venom den” are a very tough stretch especially with 25+ mph winds. We understand it was hard to enjoy that experience.

Enjoyable afternoon of golf

This is the first time I have played this course since the change over from Imperial Lakewood’s to Moccasin Wallow. I was pleasantly surprised at the improvements that have been made to this course. There is still work to be done but the greens were very nice, the tee boxes well grasses and the fairways in good to very good condition. I will definitely play again and recommend to my golfing friends!!!

Trying a new course

We have not plated this course before because awhile back the reviews were not good as to the course conditions. Well over the last couple of months the reviews were good so we thought we would try it out. We will definitely be back. Course was in nice shape, greens were great, tee boxes were good, and fairways only had a few bad spots. My wife and I both really enjoyed our round and look forward to playing again
