I had the pleasure to play Sarasota Exec course yesterday.

Wow , it is in great shape !

From the tee boxes to the greens , all were well groomed. I LOVE the way this maintenance crew is leaving a nice collar around the greens , giving the player a chance of making a nice chip shot vs the scalped down condition at many other courses.

I posted a couple of pictures of some damage to the course because I wanted everyone to know how destructive the beautiful sand cranes can be ! A group of just four can put a hurt on the turf in short order !

The greens were a bit in the slow side but once they are mowed and rolled , they will be outstanding !

I was told by an ambassador they they are planning to close the course for a couple of weeks in June to “finish” some of the work already started.

The “report card” rates the course a “B” . However, I would give it an A-
