  So I reached out to calusa to explain my awful experience and they didn't even have the respect to contact me back. I do not recommend this course and there customer service is truly lacking. Hello just wanted to write a little about my experience yesterday. I have lived in Sarasota area all my life and play golf weekly. I have enjoyed your course over 10 times and enjoy the course other than the construction for the most part. Yesterday I invited a tour pro from New York to play with us and I booked a time with you guys. I have played here over 10 times threw out the year and every time I have paid 80$ to $90 dollars. Now much to my surprise, when I arrived with my guests you had changed the cost to $150 a person. I went ahead and paid for the round assuming with your pay increase that you had finished some of the course remodeling. Now I totally respect it is season and the prices rise, that is normal so I can totally appreciate that. Most courses in the area increase by $20, not almost doubling. But for a golf course that has no club house, no bathrooms but a porter potty, no ice or water machines on the course, construction everywhere, workers that are playing music while they work on the course, I just feel this is really awful. Also for you to still not have a liquor license which I have been told you would be getting for months, and a cart girl that can't accept credit card payments, I just feel that this was frankly a rip off. I'm in the service industry and I just want you to know that all of my guests and I were very disappointed with our experience. We spent over $800 with fees, balls, and drinks, and my tour pro had to use a porter potty where no toilet paper was provided. I was very embarrassed to say the least. I play all over Sarasota and your price is the highest that we have paid this year. I respect that you are tailoring to a higher crowd, but the experience and the course at its state does not warrant this price point in my opinion. I highly doubt we will return even though for the most part we enjoy your course.

  Make sure you bring your own water and ice, course is in good shape notwithstanding the rain.

  It's new. The whole area is under construction, except the course itself. It is top-notch. Fairways groomed. Bunkers are in good shape with soft sand (believe me, I know). And the greens are excellent, lots of undulations so very challenging. We got around it in right at 4 hours. I will for sure play it again.

  Very disappointing...grossly overpriced. Played in an absolute dust bowl. Course shouldn't be open yet. Construction everywhere. Empty cleared lots on the course cause dirt to blow everywhere. Maybe a year from now, it will be worth it, but not in March 2025.
