The course is great but the staff is phenomenal. Well respected and treated with care. Pro shop is very helpful and goes above and beyond. My experience with Bryce was great. Made me feel like a member even though I’m not. Thanks !

(10 HC) Played the Barstool Classic 2023 tournament here. The good: Very nice aqua range and practice putting areas. The overall course condition was great. The speed of the greens was fast but not ridiculous, rough was not thick but well maintained. It’s basically a new course and the membership isn’t established as they are still building out the homes around the entire course. Lots of water but it’s not always in play. Tons of native birds and a few gators out there. The bad: Course layout was mediocre at best not a lot of memorable shots or holes out there. No elevated tees, just continuation of the fairways with tee blocks laid down. The greens here (as others have said) are just ridiculous and not that much fun IMO. I like having the chance to roll in a few 10 footers and maybe a 20-30 footer in round, not happening here. No straight putts outside of 2-3 feet. Huge undulations and pin locations you can’t keep a ball near even with the perfect approach. Some people may like this but personally it wasn’t a place I will play again.

This is a really great course. I remember playing it when there was only a few houses built, now the course has really comes into its own.

Have only gone for the range, given the price for rounds are pretty expensive. Looks like a nice course, but giving 2 stars because they shut down public access (paying for day pass) to the range. Just pretty ridiculous that a public course doesn't allow you to use the range, even while paying them to do so. But hey, you can pay $125 for a round...

The course itself is absolutely beautiful and showcases meticulously maintained fairways and greens that really test your skill. The greens in particular were challenging, with lots of undulation and speed, which made for a fun and memorable round. The staff were welcoming, attentive, and genuinely helpful throughout the day, which made the experience even better. At the turn, I had a handmade chicken salad sandwich that was fresh, flavorful, and hit the spot midround. After finishing up, I visited the Barrel House Bistro for a proper 19th hole experience, which did not disappoint. I had their wagyu burger with balsamic onion jam, smoked gouda, and bourbon brown sugar bacon, paired with truffle fries and their signature “Esplanata” cocktail. Everything was perfectly prepared and delicious. If you’re looking for a challenging, scenic course with friendly service and some of the best post-round food and drinks around, Esplanade at Azario should definitely be on your list.
