When this course first opened, the the track was fabulous! Sadly, it has undergone a long, slow, decline, not what you would expect from a Troon-managed facility.right now, you will pay too much for too little.

I would highly discourage anyone from trying this course, especially when there are so many others in the area! Management has no idea what it takes to run a golf course here. NOT customer friendly in the least!!! Poor maintenance. Poor course rangers. Poor facilities. Before & after golf, NO amenities...including, as ridiculous as it sounds, only ONE restroom for... More

Wide open fairways but tough fast greens. Never a level putt. Great staff. Fairways are cut very short. Only downside sand traps in poor condition.

Management staff disrespectful and unprofessional. Amenities nonexistent...single restroom, no restaurant, sparse pro shop. Although the track was decent, there are far better experiences around the Sarasota area. Will not return.

Have played this public course with many different players while in Florida over the last five years. Everyone has loved this track. Never crowded, reasonably priced, and Charlie, Mark, Rich, and the rest of the staff make you feel like a 'member'. Generous fairways. Perfect greens. A typically excellent Troon managed property. Book on line and save substantially on greens... More

Beautiful course in the middle of a defunct housing project south of Venice. The name might confuse some as the location is decidedly not in Sarasota. Despite the beautiful location the staff were moderately unfriendly and their policies strictly big business. Apparently if you book, they take a credit card number and you must show up at the course or... More

I've played Sarasota National Golf Course many times. It is a wide open course, as the housing development that was suppose to go around the course never took off. The greens are a bit fast, and course is challenging. The scenery is beautiful, and the price to play is reasonable.

Wasn't sure what to expect. This is a Troon-managed facility, so it is in nice condition. Homes that were going to be developed throughout area were stopped, so course is free of homes... just nature. I would have given this five stars, but the pace of play was just soooooo slow. Ranger did nothing to help speed up play. We... More

We found this golf course on GolfNow.com for $39 per person including cart. The fairways were in good shape and the greens were fast and true with alot of undulation. The staff was very friendly. No snack bar but they did have cold sandwiches and drinks for sale. I found this course to be a bargain and would definitely go... More
