I travel down to Bradenton every December with the family from Canada. I get 2 to 3 rounds in over the course of 10 days. We have been doing this for 10 years.
I've played:
Waterlefe
Legacy
University Park
Stoneybrook
River Club
Imperial Lakewoods
and a few others

I also have a regular group of guys who go down to Myrtle Beach every year and we decided to head a bit further south to Tampa/Bradenton area this time.
I will take them to my favorite courses from the above list..but what I'm asking is:
Does anyone have any suggestions as to really nice courses within an hour drive (not Orlando...too far)
and in the $80.00 to $130.00 range

I played Lansbrook yesterday in Palm Harbor - was in great shape with the exception of the 120 blue hairs playing in a tournament in front of me. I can honestly say I was impressed with the course.

You've played some pretty good ones!

Try World Woods (2 good public courses) in Brooksville, or
Innisbrook Copperhead if you can work it out.

Good golfing!

Dave.

Those are all good courses and I'd keep them on the list. Another fun course in the area is The Links at Greenfield Plantation. Friendly track that's right outside of Bradenton.....Reasonably priced, usually in good shape, and has a set of tees for every skill level. I play it at least twice a year with my 72 year old dad and we both enjoy it.

looks like google maps pegs it at about 2 hours, but i made it from tampa in about an hour, with a lot of time slowing down for tolls. so if bradenton isn't an hour from tampa, you can probably do it in less than google's estimate.

one of the coolest things i've seen at world woods is a $5 practice course consisting of one each of a par 3, 4, and 5 so if you're a little cramped from the ride you can get in some warm up holes.

About 20 minutes south of World Woods is Seven Hills Country Club in Spring Hill. Its a nice course and a bargain. Pace of Play can be slow due to the number of Sr's.

      Day 10 (10 Jun 26) - Played in the midweek shootout at my home course - on aerated and sanded greens - day of trying to figure tempo to get the best roll on the greens.  Approach game was decently solid as was shots off the tee.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.

      Brendan Sorsby Sports Betting

      Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026.

      Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?

      Day 281 6-10 Full swing, fast, getting low point ahead of "towel".  Working on flow during this seems to help.
