Moccasin Wallow Golf Club Tee Times

Played golf today. The course was in better shape the the courses in Sarasota and Bradenton that charge $$ same rate. Greens rolled extremely well. I recommend this course if you want to play for $100. Will return for sure. Rain is on the way and conditions will improve. Staff very friendly.

Idk what the deal is with this place, but with the expansion in the area and the course it’s self, I give this place another year or two at most. My guess is it was bought out by an alcoholic or something and he wanted it to be his hang out place for him and his friends to drink liquor. They spent bunch of money on flashy carts and a nice bar but neglected the actual golf end of the business. $5 for about 10 rang balls. The range is a pond with no distance markers. Also not aloud to bring your own cooler regardless of what’s in it “because they sell it there”. Even though I put my drinks in my golf bag. And there’s only one or two water stations. Half the greens look like fertilizer was spilled on them. The tee boxes are too soft and struggle to hold tees. Theres a 200yrd par 3 and a 550yard par 5 so you’re going to feel like you played like shit. Definitely not the best golf course if you’re not a pro. Decent bar if you’re looking for drinks though.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I had the pleasure of playing at Moccasin Wallow Golf Club last Friday morning, and I have to say, I was thoroughly impressed! Despite the area having been through two hurricanes, Helene and Milton, the course was in fantastic shape—everything from the fairways to the greens looked pristine. It's clear that the owner and staff have put in tremendous effort to maintain the course, and it really shows. The hospitality was warm and welcoming, and the entire experience was memorable. Now, for the "golfing" experience... Let’s just say I ended up behind a group of six who had clearly never seen a golf course before, let alone played on one. I swear, the amount of frontal lobe damage required to make the decisions they were making had to be severe. These guys were out there playing a completely different sport — if there was a "how not to play golf" competition, they would’ve been the undisputed champions. From the one who used his driver on the tee box like he was launching a rocket to the guy who thought the sand trap was a beach resort (he was basically living in it), it was a circus of chaos. But hey, at least they didn’t lose their balls. They just hit them in places no golf ball has any business going. On several occasions, they acted completely disrespectful toward both the course and the staff. At one point, one of the guys, who clearly had a "no brain, no problem" attitude, actually told the owner, “I don’t care, this is my last day to golf and I’m leaving!” — as if the course owed him a personal farewell party. I just couldn’t believe it. I mean, who needs to have that much "frontal lobe malfunction" to think that kind of behavior is okay on a golf course? In all my years of golf I have never snuck booze on to a golf course. There are many reasons why they don’t allow booze: 1. Liability and Insurance: Golf courses that serve alcohol are usually licensed by the local authorities. Serving alcohol comes with certain legal responsibilities, and allowing outside alcohol can create confusion or complications with their insurance policies and licensing agreements. 2. Revenue Generation: Golf courses make a significant portion of their revenue from food and beverage sales, including alcohol. Allowing outside alcohol would take away from that potential income, as players may bring their own drinks instead of purchasing from the club's bar or cart service. 3. Safety and Responsibility: By controlling the alcohol served on the course, golf courses can better monitor and manage alcohol consumption to ensure player safety. Unregulated drinking from outside sources could lead to overconsumption, which might result in risky or inappropriate behavior on the course. 4. Quality Control and Experience: Golf courses often curate the food and drink experience to complement the overall atmosphere they wish to provide. Outside alcohol can disrupt the experience they want to offer, including maintaining quality standards for the beverages they serve. 5. Consistency in Rules: By enforcing a no-outside-alcohol rule, golf courses create consistency in the rules for all players. It ensures that everyone adheres to the same expectations, reducing any potential disputes or unfair advantages that could arise from different players bringing in alcohol of varying strengths or quantities. Overall, I highly recommend Moccasin Wallow Golf Club for anyone looking for a well-maintained, beautiful course to play, and I’m already looking forward to my next round!

Paid $80 for a round and left honestly disappointed. To be fair, Florida is currently dealing with drought conditions, so I understand courses may not be in pristine shape. I don't think anyone is expecting tour-level conditions. However, even accounting for drought, the overall conditions were still well below what you’d expect at this price point. Tee boxes were thin and patchy, fairways had large bare areas and weeds, and the course overall felt neglected. At $80, the value simply isn’t there. Beyond the turf conditions, the basic amenities were unacceptable. There was no drinking water available anywhere on the course except back at the pro shop. In Florida heat, charging this rate without providing hydration access on the course is irresponsible. At the turn, I ordered a hot dog that was shriveled and clearly overcooked from either sitting on the rollers too long or being reheated. Even worse, the jar of relish set out alongside other condiments had visible mold growing inside it. Gave it to the bartender who pretty much dismissed it, simply offered another jar. That’s not about drought or turf management — that’s a food safety issue. To top it off, when my brother-in-law (visiting from out of town) left a fair but critical review, the initial response from management was dismissive and unprofessional before it was edited down to simply say “Thank you.” That doesn’t demonstrate accountability or concern for customer feedback. There are too many quality golf options in this area to justify this kind of experience at this price. Drought may explain some turf stress, but it does not excuse lack of basic amenities, food safety concerns, or unprofessional customer interaction. I would strongly recommend looking elsewhere until major improvements are made.
