First of all, thanks very much to all who responded to my recent
request for Orlando course suggestions, which will help greatly in
planning my upcoming trip in ch.
Due to the availability of a free place to stay, I'll be extending my
trip for a few days in the Sarasota/Bradenton area. So I'd like to
call on you all again for some course suggestions in that area (within
a 30-45 minute drive or so). Again, I'm priily interested in
finding a couple of good value courses and maybe one or two more
upscale types.
Thanks in advance.
JimK

I'm a 8 handicap who has played most all of the courses in the area and here
are a couple of suggestions:
Waterlefe - don't play if you can't carry the tee shot a couple hundred
yards otherwise a well-conditioned track that offers a good challenge.
Legacy - tough 1st 5 holes around. In good shape right now
Venetian - a little south of Sarasota but worth the drive
Hope this helps....If price is a concern the 2 best deals in area are:
Bobby Jones British - in good shape right now (Donald Ross track)
Lake Venetian - in good shape right now
Good luck!!!!

One trick I learned back when I'd sometimes go to Hilton Head is to
first go to the nearest golf superstore (Edwin Watts, Golfsmith, Nevada
Bob's) and ask the guys who work there a few questions. They can
usually tell you which courses are in the best shape at that time or
who might be running some good deals. Heck, you might even get invited
to play with them.

They have several good courses around Sun City, Bradenton, Sarasota that are
nice. You can get maps, prices, t times etc.

Most of the upscale courses in the Sarasota area are private. One upscale
public course is The Legacy Golf Club at Lakewood Ranch, 8255 Legacy
Boulevard, Bradenton, FL 34202. While actually in Manatee County, it is
within a few hundred feet of Sarasota County. Legacy is a public golf course
not to be confused with the Lakewood Ranch Golf Club also on Legacy
Boulevard which is very private.
