This
very challenging and interesting layout is semi-private and located
in Bradenton, an easy 15-minute drive north of Sarasota. Architect
Ron Garl incorporated extensive mounding with rolling fairways,
undulating greens, and numerous grass and pot bunkers. Water comes
into play on 16 holes. The front nine is fairly open with dramatic
fairway mounding, while the back nine meanders through dense woodlands.
Rated 3 1/2 stars by Golf Digest in "Places to Play."

Mike Furnas says:
Nice course and very challenging. Would definitely play again.
Very windy on the day that we played which made the holes even
longer. Well maintained even with the lack of rain. Very accomodating
pro and the employees were very attentive.
