5/11/2009 - Played the original 18 on the 6th. The course was in great shape, played 10 - 27 on the 7th. Longer but in great shape. Would play again.
5/1/2009 - Very nice track. First class treatment. Highly recommend it. Posted by Michael (Towson, MD)
4/29/2009 - We're 3 Canadian golfers who come to Florida to golf one week every year, in April, 2009. We played these Bradenton area courses: River Club - a disappointment, not as good as the last time we played there. Stoneybrook - great course for our average skill level. Legacy - terrific course and experience. Waterlefe - great course - maybe a bit too difficult for our average ability level. River Strand - great course and experience. University - terrific course and experience.

4/20/2009 - University Park CC is a hidden gem. It has a country club atmosphere, with a wonderful staff and venue. It was raining pretty heavy when we arrived and we wondered if we would get a chance to play. When the rain passed over we were the first out on the course and very excited about playing. We played all 27 holes and voted the course one of the Best golf courses we have ever played in Florida. University Park CC is fun, challenging, and the course was in great shape. We truly enjoyed the fast greens and the layout of the course. My compliments to the green keeper and his crew for a job well. The course was truly a golfers dream. I have sent word back to Michigan and University Park CC is no longer a secret. I look forward with great anticipation to playing University Park again. Did I mention that I broke 80 on the first 18 holes. University Park really does give the customer the professional service and respect which is found at most country clubs. I love this place.

3/20/2009 - Great facility. Nice layout. Some difficult holes cause slow playing times. Posted by Bob.
3/20/2009 - Well conditioned course. Too many palmetto shrubs close to the fairways that devour golf balls. Posted by Jerry (Pittsburgh, PA)
3/15/2009 - Course was very good. Greens were in relatively good shape. Speed of play was good. Posted by William (Toronto, Canada)
3/12/2009 - Outstanding course. Treated well. Tees for all skill levels. Posted by Larry (Burr Ridge, IL)
2/27/2009 - Played twice last year and found the course to be in great shape. This year the course was "shaggy" (the fairways in particular). It seems that the course is not being taken care of as well as before. Posted by Stephen.
2/24/2009 - Excellent, one of our two favorites besides Bent Tree Country Club. Terrace service closes too early. Posted by Karl (Hamburg, Germany)
1/29/2009 - Found the course to be in excellent condition! Enjoyed our round. They weren't very busy, so they allowed us to go out 1/2 hour early, but charged us the morning fee. Not real good advertising for such a short time difference. Posted by Janice (Waupun, WI)
1/27/2009 - Simply The Best! Play 1 to 18 though. Great course, great position and great sandwiches!! Posted by DJM (Manchester United Kingdom)
1/23/2009 - 3.5 stars, good 27 hole course, good service, good range and pace of play. Fairways were not in top condition. Posted by Gary (Keswick, VA)
12/11/2008 - Definitely the best course of the three I played and in good condition. Posted by Diana (Guernsey, United Kingdom).
12/11/2008 - Conditions have dropped considerably in the last few years. Maintenance seems to be a problem. Still okay but not great anymore, it's off my list for next year. Posted by Robert (Scarborough, Canada).
12/5/2008 - Super course, super condition, super people. Will play again next year. Posted by Henry (Warminster, PA).
12/3/2008 - Great course and good conditions. Nicely groomed and perfect greens for the overseeding season. Posted by JP (Sarasota, FL)
12/1/2008 - Impeccably conditioned. Nice practice facility and pleasant covered courtyard dining area. A busy place the day we played, but they have quite the procedure for keeping the whole process moving along. Posted by WK.
11/13/2008 - Beautifully landscaped. Old course with heavy play. Overrated. I would not play it again! Posted by John (Philadelphia, PA).
11/10/2008 - Great course. Great layout. Very tight fairways, do not miss them or you will not score well. Posted by Colin (Ethorpes, United Kingdom).
5/19/2008 - Felt a little like Disneyland at first - three nines and a little congestion on the 10th as groups played through. Reception in the clubhouse made for a long wait in cramped bathroom facilities. Played 10-27 and the scorecards had ratings and slopes for all combinations. Posted by Patricia (Shoreham, NY).
5/19/2008 - Love this course. Very playable for all levels of golfers. The staff and amenities are first class. Posted by Karen (Chesterfield Township, MI).
5/13/2008 - Very nice. Posted by Dan (Louisville, KY).
5/9/2008 - Great course. Played in February and again on April 20th. Nicest course I played in the Sarasota area. The course was in great shape. Posted by Stephen (Burlington, Canada).
3/31/2008 - As the cost suggests this is an upmarket course. It has some great golf holes and the condition is very good. I would definitely play this course again. Posted by William (Cheltenham United Kingdom).
3/31/2008 - Excellent course with great amenities. People a little bit snobby. Posted by Zach (Toronto, Canada).
3/13/2008 - Nice upscale golf course. Condition very good. Tough course but fair. A definite replay course.
3/6/2008 - Course was in great condition. Challenging course. Thoroughly enjoyed my round, would go back anytime. Posted by Jerry (Lees Summit, MO).
2/1/2008 - The course is typical Florida --- lots of water and lots of challenge. The greens were showing some wear in early January. Posted by Saul (Baltimore, MD).
1/25/2008 - Probably my favorite course of the week. Some challenging tight holes, others were longer with protected greens. Posted by James (Brinston, Canada).
11/18/07 - Excellent course for our group. Easy to play and in excellent condition. Staff very friendly, and great for all handicaps. Posted by Henry (Warminster, PA).
11/17/07 - Outstanding. A difficult but fair test of golf. Pristine conditioning. First class from the moment you arrive. Posted by Mark (Canada).
10/23/07 - Great course. Several sets of tees for every level of player. Very challenging without being unplayable. Will definitely play again. Posted by Karen (Chesterfield, MI).
