First time at Serenoa - will be back.

An early start at Serenoa. Too dark to really use driving range or putting green. Overall course was in good condition. Course has lots of character - not just a back and forth.

issues using golfnow

The first issue was a prepayment of $15, plus tax (total of $53 for 3 people) using golfnow.com. advised at the course that they don't see any of that money so charged us the regular green fee. I don't know how to get it reversed.
the second issue was the advertised rate included lunch and a beverage, Because we used golfnow, the course advised us that we were not eligible for the included lunch and beverage.
the course is not in great shape - tee boxes are not well maintained, weeds in the fairways, greens are reasonable but not cut well - very slow compared to other courses we have played in the area.

not in the top 3 courses in sarasota as advertised. not sure it would break the top 20.

Poor Pace of Play

Target golf, but could be a fun track. Nice greens. Pace of play was poor - 4:45 and for a course this short should be an hour less than that.

It’s Not A $100 Course.

For a number of years (30+) when visiting my family I would play Seronoa, and always enjoyed playing the course. Today I took two of my friends there and I was embarrassed.
The tee boxes, fairways and greens are pretty pitiful, and the pace of play was extremely frustrating. Why have rangers, if they don’t assist in the pace of play?
It’s just not a $100 course. It will be a long time before I return, if ever; and will NOT be recommending it.

Just not worth it

We’ve played multiple times this winter starting in January. The fairways are in terrible shape. There either is very little grass and they are either rock hard or mushy. The greens are hard as rocks and some have issues where they have had to be cut back and replaced with sod.

Pace of play is not good. But, when you put groups out every 7 minutes and then not enforce a decent pace of play what can you expect. Obviously they are trying bring in as many $$ as they can during the high season but it does not make for an enjoyable day.

Busy place…tee times every 7 min is too much ,

Conditions of fairways not good. If you hit 230yd plus drivers, you will need to leave it in your bag. Cannot see many of the hazards & they are in play with otherwise good shots.

Greens were a hot mess

The previous cup holes are dotted all over the greens. Players aren’t fixing divots. Tee boxes are unbalanced and rough. Not playing again.

Some tee boxes are a little beat up but greens were good.
Made good time on the front nine and made the turn to see they had sent out a single right in front of us and there was now a five-some (with 4 sets of clubs) in front of us also.
So, a slow back nine.

First Timer in Sarasota

Got paired up with 3 guys from the NE that now live in the area and had a great time. Only complaint is that the greens, although in great shape, were a little slow and took some time to get the speed.. enjoyed the layout of the back nine as opposed to the front and it helped having some local knowledge. I would play it again!

Great day

Challenging and fun course, providing some opportunities to score, with some modest danger. The course was stacked full, but pace of play was okay. Also, nice to have a free beer at the end of the round.
