Manatee County Golf Course

It is 5 years since I last played this public course and I was not disappointed by the quality of this course, excellent fairways & superb greens, fast & furious as I like them.

I had the luxury of a French "Caddie" today (my sister's friend) who has not been on a golf course since she was 9 years old !!!! But what fun we had.

I don't think my scorecard is accurate as the Tees seem to have change place & measurements (will change the details accordingly).

I recommend this public course as its varied challenges are suitable for all kind of golfers, quite a few brooks, ponds & interesting dog legs, lots of bright local vegetation & plenty of wildlife, from ospreys to aigrettes & alligators (but did not see any today ), racoons & turtles who bite apparently. I think I rather deal with a turtle than a "gator", I am becoming a local now.

Excellent value for money if you book on line, telephone bookings will be matched by the friendly Proshop. Extremely good reception where one feels a truly valued customer. Staff seem genuinely happy, well it is Florida and the Tourists season.


Excellent choice of fashionable & technical Ladies golf clothings, no need to say that my credit card was very useful.

A great Floridian winter golf with 27•C with a slight breeze to keep us comfortable.

Hope to play again before I return to Twickenham but will probably choose a different colour tee.

I enjoyed wearing summer golf clothing today as 2 weeks ago when I played at Silvermere (Cobham, Surrey), I was dressed in winter clothes.... just hope when I get back to Uk, Spring will be there
