I had a fabulous time playing Waterford. There are 27 holes broken up into three 9-hole courses. The staff was very friendly and accommodating on check in. The carts, practice range, and course were all in great shape. The Sawgrass course was both fun and challenging. Our back 9 was Gleneagles which provided a different, yet still worthwhile experience. A return visit in the future is definitely in my plans.
Played Sawgrass and Gleneagles on a weekday at 11:30. Clubhouse and starter were super and we got on tee right on time.
Sawgrass is relatively tight, so tee shots need to be in the fairways. Course is in pretty good condition and greens looked nice and rolled well.
Gleneagles is more wide open and easy to score.
Having not played here in many years, I would certainly return again.
Both first time playing this course.. Made a quick turnaround tee time, got to Waterford quite early to find out they have a driving range to practice on. My dreams were answered. I then found out that the golf pro Charlie Darbyshire is my cousin's brother-in-law. He was in attendance on this Friday. We shared a laugh. What a gorgeous course. Best one I have ever played at...My courses are limited..F.Y.I. Scott and I enjoyed 9 holes on Gleneagle. 4 top in front of us and a pair behind us. Never felt pressured. Beautiful course. Highly recommend. I had a birdie putt on 4. One rotation shy. 9-18-22 played Sawgrass and Gleneagle courses today. Such a Beautiful course. Saw plenty of wild life. 11-27-22 played their third 9 hole course Turnberry along with Sawgrass. Used the driving range before playing 18. All three courses are gorgeous and the staff are friendly and helpful. Highly recommend.
The course is spread out around housing so some fairways are narrow. Carts are highly recommended due to the distance between some holes.
Course is well maintained except for the sand traps... like a COVID thing. Some of the grass is pretty tall.
What a great place with great people! We love going there every Sunday for breakfast (Joey is our favorite server) and at least using the driving range and usually we end up playing there! Great place for my in-laws to move into š
Good staff. Busy place. Three 9 hole courses (Sawgrass, Turnberry, and Gleneagles). I like Turnberry the best (although beware on the score card for hole 8. They have it as a dog leg right, but it's actually a dog leg left, then over a tree guarding the right side of the green). Sawgrass is accessed thru the parking lot and is by far the least played course. Not sure why though, terrific layout, very quiet, etc. Gleneagles is played right off the practice green and is mostly along the highway. They also have a clubhouse (full liquor bar + food), practice range ($3 for a small bucket of balls), and putting green. The putting green didn't have the cups cut into the green?? so when you practice just have to aim for the base of the flag. Cost is $37 for 18 holes with a cart (after 3pm). Well maintained, well run, good location.
Pretty fun course to play. Worth the $80. Great layout and pretty good staff.
Visiting a relative, great place to walk and see all kinds of birds and some alligators.
The staff are awesome and the course is always kept in great shape, they must have an awesome Superintendent and grounds staff. I like playing here also because they host a lot of tournaments for the community organizations and staff. Although I'm not a member, they treat me with such kindness and hospitality every time I play there. Great people, excellent course, and superb experience! Many blessings!
Good time for all
Played as a single 3/11/2022 got paired with a few great guys (members), they were helpful.. as were the staff. Hit a bucket the day before on the nice driving range and everyone was friendly and helpful that time as well. Good layout - I played Turnberry and Sawgrass. The greens were really good and true, traps okay (luckily I was only in them once)... I will be returning again next time I play golf in Venice.
The staff is very professional and friendly. The price is reasonable for the very good quality of the entire course from tees to greens, which roll smoothly and true, at good speed. The course is fairly wide open, not tight, more forgiving than the wonderful Misty Creek. Pace of play is good, better in the mornings of course, like everywhere. I believe these 2 are the best courses near the south end of Siesta Key, where we stayed.
Solid 4-star establishment. Perhaps the nicest surprise of our recent trip, overall sense that maintenance has improved (it was nice before, now just more refined). Think theyāve increased watering, not as rock hard on fairways. Greens have always been true, seem healthier now. Sufficient character, suggestion would be to include range balls in the greens fees. Nice clubhouse and hard-working, pleasant staff. Solidified spot on my ācircuitā, Iāll return many times in the future.
Course is fantastic...staff was great..will go back...
I donāt understand the bad review about Andrew? Andrew is the man! For how crazy busy they were today he was able to squeeze us in today. Andrew and the Waterford team had everything running very efficiently! Course was in good shape especially the greens!
DJ'd an event for a High School Graduation on Saturday May 26, 2018. Used their event clubhouse. Nice convenient small location. Courteous staff, well accessible bar with variety. Only downsides: main entrance has undercover area, but only stairs accessible, not wheelchair accessible. But has 2 other entrances wheelchair accessible. If it was raining hard, I would've had a difficult time offloading equipment in the rain, since the 2 side entrances have covered walkway, but not where vehicle can fit underneath. Main entrance is perfect for vehicle to fit in, but no ramp to load in any equipment/food/decor with wheel carts, etc. They happened to split the ballroom for 2 events simultaneously, had a complication for a few hours with music overtaking the other event. So, I would recommend not booking an event if there is already another event happening on the same day. Prevent this issue. Otherwise, convenient place! They are re-doing their Golf Course! It will look beautiful when done!
Andrew + Brad are always super helpful and courteous. I signed up as a member a few months ago and I'm more than happy with my decision. Course is challenging and fun to play.
Outstanding staff. Fun course. Wonderful experience.
