Extremely well kept, very challenging, somewhat unreasonable ask around the greens with many chips being very hard to simply put on the green. Overall, it’s one of those great courses that’s super fun to see, but doesn’t reel you back in like some others

Immaculate shape. Very challenging on the marquee 9 hole (think it’s red), lots of water come into play as you navigate the harbor. Tons of fun overall.

IMG has a great track in the Bradenton area. It’s not the nicest of the courses in the area, but I’ve played it several times and it’s always been consistent course conditions. The course is not super challenging if you keep your ball in play.
