Finding a story within every experience is my desire and using the characters I encounter to serve up some verbal animated fun. Let's start with Milt, the Florida Fast Times at Ridgemont High wanna be with a wig-ish looking sun beaten off dirty white Joe Dirt mullet. Not sure what was more disturbing to me, his teeth or the poorly phrased words that tumbled from behind those broken scummy chicklets. Didn't tell me anything about anything, where's the starter, are we early or on time, will the weather hold off? All of which I asked about, but at least I can now walk away from that busted grill and get on with my golf. Then a quick stop in the men's room and the stenches hit me like a ton of poopy bricks and as I spun for the exit holding my breath, I caught glimpses of a bathroom that's not been attended to in days. Cart guy looked so life beaten he could barely lift his chin to notice the $5.00 I tipped him for nothing other than the fact that his tip jar had only enough pennies to almost cover the plastic bottom. Poor guy in more ways than one, I felt terribly for him, not for Milton. The course is short with the one handicap hole being somewhat interesting with a quick turn right to a circular shallow green. The rest of the course was damp and chewed up on the fairways and around the greens with clumps of no grassy spots. Lift, Clean and Place was in play with so much constant muck on my ball and not a rain shower in days. So if your going to play here, just avoid all employees as best as you can and look at it as a day if practice if you get a good deal as I did on GolfNow. It's not the place to get excited about, the bunkers were in decent shape.

Everyone was friendly from the guy who grabbed our clubs in the AM, the guy working in the pro shop checking us in, and the starter (The bunker on hole 1 is not 280 so dont listen to him on that piece ) Only complaint is we didnt see the cart girl until hole 15, but we tee'd off at 7:50 so that happens quite often at alot of courses. Pace: Great. We had to wait a few times but nothing crazy. Finished our round at 4 hours exactly. NOW, 95% of the golfers were 65+... so if youre an outsider thinking you can squeeze a quick 9 or 18 in the mid afternoon, dont go there. Course Conditions/Layout: Conditions were extremely pure, especially around the greens. Bunkers were a little sandy at the top so had to battle some fried eggs but welcome to golf. The layout was actually much more attractive than i assumed it would be. Good variance of challenges and unique carries. Since there are almost zero options in this area for public golf, I would highly recommend this for any travelers. Only can book 3 days in advance so hope for some "bad" weather to scare the oldies away for the day.

The ambiance is super cute with the string lights, tropical landscaping, and a relaxed island vibe that makes it enjoyable, especially in the evening. Everything felt clean and well taken care of, which I always appreciate. The course itself is simple but fun, with just enough challenge to keep things interesting without being frustrating. It's a smaller, more compact course, but that actually makes it perfect for a casual game whether you're on a date night or with family. Service was friendly and smooth, and the whole experience felt easygoing from start to finish. The drop-head ball game at the end was such a fun little bonus and a great way to wrap everything up. As a mom, I'd definitely bring my kids here it's safe, well-maintained, and fun for all ages. Overall, a cute, laid-back spot that's perfect for a quick and memorable activity in Anna Maria. We're taking the kids tonight!

The music is very loud. We thought it would have been a good idea since Monday is senior citizen day, if they played classic rock instead of modern music. The course was really nice and we had a lot of fun. After 18 holes and then a challenge hole, we stopped for drinks and lunch. You have to pull up the menu on the app. There is a variety of sandwiches, salads, wraps and apps. You place your entire order, including drinks in the app, pay for it now or later and everything is brought to you. Our drinks arrived quickly by a friendly bartender. I settled on a fried chicken sandwich with fries. Food arrived quickly and looked good. The sandwich was fine and was served with a spicy sauce. We played the black course after lunch and found it as enjoyable as the red. A fun day was had by all. We will be back!!!
