Oh my. We paid $43. That was at 11:30 on Saturday. This course is a complete disaster. They closed for almost a year to rebuild parts of the course and its worse today. Course has been reopened for months. There was very little grass and most looked weedy and barely cut. No water on course and clubhouse closed at 12. This used to be a hidden gem. Course is in terrible condition.

Excellent golf course, there are short transport sections between the holes. Reasonable prices, good fairway quality. Helpful, friendly staff. The wild life is amazing. Have seen two alligator traps, from the neighbor swamp probably many visiting the lakes.

Nancy Bradley

The course layout is interesting with good distances from each tee with ladies having a nice advantage. And the price is reasonable with some great specials. Weather conditions have taken a bit of a toll on the fairway grass. However,, we could not have experienced more helpful and kind staff than we found at Tatum Ridge. On a day when an accident tied up traffic on Route 75 and delayed our arrival at the course by 2 hours, the staff went out of their way to accommodate our foursome by bumping us to the last available tee time and letting us play through course maintenance work that was underway. Thank you, Tatum Ridge, and we look forward to returning for many more rounds of golf at your course.

Played in April 2020 and it was to worst course i have played on in 30 years. There was no grass, even in the middle of the fairways. A perfect tee shot to the middle of the fairway and you have to roll the ball 6 ft to get on a dead clump of grass. I was so upset that i left after 11 holes. Whoever rated this a 3-4-5 had to have played there years ago.By far and away for the public course go to Bobby Jones when they rer-open. American course is a great layout, especially the back 9

Scott Fodor

Course in OK shape except for greens. They are pitiful played yesterday. At the greens fees price I expected a lot better.

Chris Beehler

By far the worst course in Sarasota County that I have played this year! Way over priced at $43.00. The blue tee boxes were horrible, all fairways were goat tracks and the greens had weeds growing in them!! Very disappointing.

Elliott Klonsky

I love golf and can appreciate the challenges greens keepers and grounds keepers have in trying to keep a course in good shape. Last week I invited 3 friends to join me at Tatum Ridge, and I was embarrassed. There were far too many areas on the tee boxes, fairways and greens that were in such bad shape that the overall golf experience was very disappointing and even anger-provoking. There were also three occasions when my golf swing was interrupted by a loudspeaker announcing the next tee time group! If the grounds crew cannot keep up with the needs of this golf course (and they obviously cannot), at least have the decency to charge a greens fee that reflects a course in very poor shape; not a fee that reflects what this course wants to be.

Andy Barger

The layout is good. The condition of the course from practice range to tee box to fairway to greens is horrible. Greens look to have mold or a disease and unputtable. I am sure it is a money thing. Unfortunately I will never play there again. They need major help.

Frank Dunn

I have been playing this course for the last 3 years and every year the coursegets worse and the price goes up. I will never play at Tatum again, there are much nicer courses in the area at a better price.

Francis Eder

4:50 pace of play. 6 groups were stacked up at the turn. The starter just announces your group over the loud speaker when its time to tee off. No one actually monitors the play. Course condition wasnt great. Tee boxes were either too long or eaten up. Fairways were decent but long. Many wholes had very wet mushy ground in front of the greens. Greens were ok. Few patchy spots. I wouldnt pay full price to play this course. If theres a deal around $25 its worth a try

Tim Sommers

Attractive course with very nice greens. Will be back

Rich Fagan

Played 18 this morning. Hate to say it, but they should be embarrassed to call this place a golf course. The fairways were like a cow pasture, tee boxes were lousy and many of the greens were brown spotted throughout. I was under the impression that the much had been done to restore the course after its closure in the not too distant past. That's why I decided to give it another shot. Guess not.

Chris Tortorello

First time golfing in FLA and we tried here. Nice place for novices (like us) and more skilled golfers alike. We rented clubs ($$) and bought some balls, since we didn't travel with any, and they were fine for us. We had our own golf shoes. Course layout is on the easier side, not much elevation.. This place is closing ~May 1st for renovations. Good eats at the turn. Beautiful bird life all around the course. Nice day out. Was busy in afternoon when we left.

Kim E

I am only giving it 5 stars because it was a $15 special. If I was playing the $58 November 1st cost I would be disappointed and given it no more than 3 stars. The fairways need water, the greens are really slow, and there are clumps of grass all over. Please don't get me wrong, I think if they fix the problems it will earn the stars.

Bill Fedelem

Course is on decent shape but the rates are a bit high

Darren

Great blue collar course, Greens can be a little rough at times but everything else is very well maintained. The only negative thing I have to say about this course is that sometimes the Mowing schedule can fluctuate and on a couple of occasions I have not been able to use the driving range because of this, Other than that I would definitely recommend this course!

Rod Andrews

Great layout, good system for getting to the first tee. Well kept some greens were a little patchy. Fairways were in fine shape. It was my first time playing here will be back. staff is very helpful, good for all levels.

Russell Gore

Course in bad shape, lousy Greens and tee boxes. Fairways in bad shape too.

Steve Planeta

Course is a little rough

Lawrence Paoli

I used to play golf here years ago. These days I sometimes eat lunch here. They make a fabulous hamburger and the price is reasonable.

Keith Lichtie

Very nice course. On vacation and came back to play. Used to play here a lot in the early 90s when I lived here before. If you get close to the water, watch out for the gators. Lady in the grill was extremely nice. Great time!

Ken Stephens

Beautiful course with several challenging holes...course is well-maintained... pro shop has nice selection of merchandise for sale.

Tony Glaude

Great course, with wonderful fairways and tees, although the greens are in pretty bad shape. The landscaping and views are marvelous. If they fix the greens, this would be a five star course for visitors to play once in a while, if they have the summer card. Membership, otherwise, is entirely to expensive for amateurs and seniors who score in the low nineties or higher.

Dave Phillips

Greens were near perfect. Nice layout lots of fun.

Bob Firth

This is a nice reasonably priced golf course, forgiving yet challenging. They maintain the course well as was seen while we played with 4 temporary green. The summer is when many courses do maintenance but would have liked to known before we booked. Still enjoyed our round but will wait for the greens to be repaired before our next booking.

Jeff Page

Greens bad and fairways worse

Scott Hoots

Had a good time. Some challenging holes but overall average. Service in the snack shop was excellent.

Paul C

The course itself is in OK shape, and the pro shop and diner are very friendly. The grass range is nice. The reason why I left the course at the 7th hole, is because the pace of play was more than 5 hours, with an endless string of very elderly very slow couples, unlike any of the higher level somewhat more pricey courses such as University Park, Waterlefe, Waterford, or Misty Creek, among others. I will absolutely never return.

Aubry Pellom

In great shape. Greens running fast... the best omelet and people...

Uber Ride

Great course. Can.t wait to play it again

David Dobson

Good course, 6200 from whites can cause some challenges on certain holes. Can be very busy Jan-March but we played it a lot in Dec early April and easy 4 hour rounds. Greensboro rough at end of season due to birds digging them up.

Martin Wax

Nice course. Not a championship course, but not a dog either. Not a place for beginners. Nice landscape makes the round enjoyable. A little difficult to navigate first time around and too many leaves on the ground at times.

Alejandro Garcia

This place is very family friendly both my kids loved it here.

Brian Gould

Had lunch in the diner and the service was really good. Make sure you have a good sense of humor and some sarcasm and you'll definitely laugh. I didn't golf but I do like going there for lunch and would recommend it to anyone. Fresh made everything!

Dave Banks

Love the course

Andrew Melamed

Good course, good condition. Greens where a bit chewed up but still put relatively pure. Nothing out of the ordinary for Florida summer conditions

mark ford

I like the course. It's challenging and the greens are in decent shape for this time of year.

Thomas Pollock

Nice course. A little long, but good play. No houses on the course. Still swampy due to hurricane. It's coming around though.

Randy Simon

It was a fun day, nice greens

John Long

Excellent customer service from the Staff. Great lunch, fair pricing, very quick time from placing order to table.

James Regula

My first time playing the course and was very pleased. The course was challenging but fair, and was in excellent condition!

Jim Courville

One of our favorites. Closed for remodeling.

Marvin Gerbig

Good course, my 1st time there, great check in, very good menu selection in the clubhouse, but I didn't eat there

Scooter Johnson

Course was in poor shape. The greens were torn up on many many holes(not from punching). Not worth a fraction of the green fees. In addition, we were a 3some that was behind a 5some... yes a 5some that would not let us play thru. Much more quality choices out there in the area. I won't be back. I feel like I got ripped off. Based on conditions, green fees should be around $20 max .. anytime of the day

Steve Nash

Dont waste your time or money! Over priced and slow play on a not so good course. Should be a $25 round and not $62. Find somewhere else to play!

Anthony Mazzoni

Nice course but played slow. Waited every hole.

Brad Marian

Great course, good food. one of my favorites around town

James A Fynes

My favorite course when I'm in town. Relaxed atmosphere, the layout is challenging but at the same time forgiving. My favorite holes are 6-13-15. These by themselves are worth the price of admission. A welcoming staff and a good restaurant. Especially the Burgers. Fair rates.

Mike Venuti

Course is in relatively good shape. Greens need work.

Elliott Anderson

The course was in great shape! My only complaint is the pace on the front 9. We had to wait for around 20 minutes to be able to tee off on #2 and it continued to be a bit of a problem until the back 9. The ranger confirmed that the bottleneck at 2 is a regular problem.
