Comment: Made the trip from Ohio down to Florida and was looking for great courses to golf at. Stumbled across this one with great reviews and it surely didn’t disappoint. The only problem I had was getting there because maps took us in the back way which is barcode access only. It made us late but they seem to have that problem a lot because they were understanding and didn’t mind.The course was easily one of, if not the best I’ve ever played at. I played holes 10-27 and everything was immaculate. The greens, the fairways, the layout, the scenery, the cart, the staff, etc. Easy 10/10 for me. The club house and pro shop were stocked with great food and merchandise. Would 100% recommend to anyone looking to golf in the Sarasota area. It is semi-private though so the public can only book 4 days in advance.

Comment: Great course and staff. Only dings were we had zero stops from a drink cart and lunch options are slim. The carts, staff and course are so on point it made the lack of food & beverage really stick out.

Comment: Beautiful course. Nice staff. Reason for 4 stars is because it was $170 for 18 holes and it was rather tightly scheduled to be paying that much. Carts were top tier tho

Comment: Played here while on holiday and managed to pick up a very good deal on the green fee. The staff are very friendly and helpful and the whole place seems very well run. There are some good practice facilities and the course is fantastic, in absolute top condition with very slick greens. It’s very well laid out with some challenging holes but at the same time is fair. Because there are three loops of nine holes, each group seems to start on a different 9 which spreads the load out a bit while maximising the use of the course. We were paired with a very nice couple who played at the same pace as my wife and I, which made for a good game. Because of the great way tee times are managed we weren’t held up by anyone ahead of us and I don’t think we saw anyone behind us either. Thoroughly recommend playing here, we are hoping to go back before the end of the holiday.

Comment: The University Park Country Club and their event coordinator, Barb, did such an amazing job with our wedding! Barb was so incredibly helpful throughout the entire planning process and the day of the wedding. She made sure everything went perfectly, even with some last minute unexpected changes due to weather. Our wedding day was beautiful and perfect! Our guests raved about the food and how nice the venue was. All of our servers were so kind and helpful. We wanted for nothing the entire night! Everyone had such an amazing time. The day couldnt have gone better!

Comment: Had a wonderful golfing experiance. Great layout and it was really in good condition. We had a wonderful day. The staff was friendly but did not make any effort to give us any direction. It was our first time there and felt lost and didn’t know where to go. Could have had more directional signage.

Comment: A tiny bit slow pace of play wise and the rain and moisture is annoying. But other than that man is this a well run course with a great staff. Really enjoyed myself and minus having a mens senior 6 hybrid when my clubs ended at a 6 iron and a 5 hybrid with a gap to the 3 wood the rentals got the job done. Nice ambiance here.Fair prices too.Had a great time will be back

Comment: Visiting from out of state, did a bunch of research to try and find good courses to play. Course was in great shape. Challenging golf course. Greens were smooth and relatively quick but not too quick. Played early on a Sunday morning, pace of play was great on front nine but we waited every shot on the last 5 holes on back nine. Would play again!

Comment: My experience was “excellent”, based on the course layout (holes l0-27), condition, and courteous helpful staff. Most of the reviews I read were complementary of the course and conditions. I whole heartedly AGREE, University Park Country Club is a good layout in great condition. Practice areas are well arranged and convenient to the starter.My experience with the staff was exceptional including the bag guys, pro shop, starter, & course rangers. Everyone tried to help me upon request. University Park golf course is run in a very orderly manner starting groups every 7-10 minutes. The course rangers are frequently seen to help keep the pace flowing, so everyone has a good experience. This style of play and marshaling doesn’t accommodate the late golfer, slow golfer, or ball hawker. So, if you fit in these categories, UPCC may not be for you. However, if you like an orderly, medium paced round, then UPCC will deliver!!! I definitely recommend this golf course and hope to play it again soon.Rick GatlinWinter Springs, FL

LITERALLY EVERYONE FROM THE PRO SHOP TO THE STARTER AND RESTAURANT STAFF WERE VERY WELCOMING AND ADDED TO THE EXPERIENCE. WELL DONE UNIVERSITY PARK. YOURE BACK ON MY LIST (AND MY FRIENDS).Love the course; the staff though has an attitude that ruins the experience. It is so consistently demeaning that it must come from the management style of the club. Guess they live off the seasonal non return traffic. Dont plan to return in any case.

Need a golf cart they have plenty. If you get thirsty while youre golfing just check out the girl on the golf cart, shes got ice, beverages, towels.The restaurant, the food is out of this world.Easy access off of University Parkway. This is a gated community. Also check the website for other activities and events.

Comment: Well it was my first time playing here and I must say the course is in great shape although it was very wet and it was cart path only. From tee box to green I must say the course plays well, I did not see any bare spots in the fairways or on the greens. The greens were not too slow which is a plus. Everyone was pleasant and professional, which means I will be back and yes I do endorse the course for you too play. We played 1-18, so hopefully upon my return I can play the other 9.

Comment: Very nice Country Club. Beautiful homes, secluded, quiet. Great security as there is a guard house with around the clock attendance. The golf course is one of the finest in all of Florida, and is truly a destination for those who cherish the game. Banquet facilities are superb with very fine attention to details. From lunch to fine dining the good is excellent and the service attentive.

Comment: A quality golf course for a public course of 27 holes. It was in good shape here in April. Great pro shop, nice dinning facilities inside and out. Managed and run well from bag drop to finish. The staff kept players moving on the course and we finished under 4 1/2 hours. I look forward to playing there again.

Comment: SUNDAY BRUNCHIts open to the public. Call ahead for reservations as there is a security gate to go through. Outstanding food presentation with large glass windows providing views of country club grounds. The brunch fee includes the gratuity. Also, thus is an perfect opportunity to dress up for a special occasion with white linen table cloths. This is definitely five stars!

Comment: Within the gates of University Park Country Club in Sarasota FL sits 27 holes of championship golf that will test even the best of players. Each layout was designed by Ron Garl and can be played in 3 different combinations, offering members a wide variety of golf holes.Garl used whatever the topography of the land gave him and carved a beautiful golf course from the woodlands and natural habitat. Many of the holes feature fairways lined with trees and natural Florida vegetation and only a couple do not offer wide, ample landing areas off the tee. Although water is visible on a number of holes, it really only comes into play on 12 or so. Some holes require an easy forced carry over water or wetlands that shouldn’t pose a problem to any golfer – provided you’re playing the right set of tees.Rather than having catchy or symbolic names, the holes are simply numbered 1–9, 10-18 and 19-27. Each nine presents its own unique set of challenges.Holes 1-9From the back (Diamond) tees, Holes 1-9 play 3,548 yards. Most golfers will be amply challenged from the Platinum tees (3,023 yards), while the ladies’ yardage is 2,394 yards. Number 2 is a par 5 that will be reachable in two for many players and can help get a good round off to a quick start. It requires a precise approach shot to a narrow green protected on the left by water, and with the green set on an angle, you may need one extra club to reach a back pin placement.Holes 10-18Holes 10-18 are roughly the same length as 1-9 (3,456 from the Diamond, 3,072 from the Platinum and 2,481 for then ladies), with water factoring into the equation on all but two holes (13 and 14). This side starts out with a somewhat short par 4 - 342 yards from the Platinum tees – but don’t let that fool you. Although the fairway opens up to the right just past the trees, there’s a pond lurking over there. If you can favor the left side off the tee, you’ll be left with a medium to short iron into a wide green. With the green sloping form back to front, try to keep your approach shot below the pin to have the best shot at birdie.Holes 19-27Holes 19-27 play slightly longer than the other two nines (3,151 yards from the Platinum Tees, 2,468 for the ladies). Number 21 (384 yards from the Platinum Tees) is yet another hole at University Park that requires accuracy off the tee. Even a good drive is going to leave a long second shot that needs to be struck crisply. When in doubt, aim for the left side of the green; if you come up short, you’ll still have a good chance at up and down to salvage par.

Comment: Very nice golf course. We played it on 3/21/16. The course was in great shape. There were a couple of holes where the greens around the edge needed some work, but over all the tee boxes, fairways, rough, and greens were terrific. The price was reasonable and included carts. There is a practice range where you can hit clubs no longer than 250 yards. The staff was nice especially (Derek?) in the 19th hole. I would definitely play this course again.

Comment: Course was in good condition when I played and was Ok overall but lacking in some amenities like golf carts with GPS, coffee at the clubhouse at 7:30 am, beverage cart on the course. The course is challenging with plenty of water and - if you get off the fairway - thick vegetation makes finding balls next to impossible. Hit it straight and not a problem.

Comment: I played the course on Easter Sunday, while the Masters was recording at home. The employees were very cordial, including the starter, he went out of his way to make me feel like I had been a member for years (my first time playing the course). They have a great layout with 27 holes for you to choose from. By far one of my favorite public golf courses in Sarasota.

Comment: My wife and I spend a week in Sarasota every year to play golf. This is our favorite course and the only one we would come back to every year. Courteous and knowledgeable personnel from the pro shop to the starter to the servers in the restaurant. Greens and fairways were in great shape. (Played 19-27 & 1-9). Well be back. 12/20/12.
