Sad what has happened here. Has all the appeal of some shot & a beer golf course. They removed golf counter & now you check in at the bar. Half the course is dried out/baked dirt, bunkers have weeds growing unabbated, no water on the course (it’s Florida-it gets really hot!) They charge you for a cup & straw. $79 for this place is ridiculous. Too many other choices to waste money playing here!

Greens are very inconsistent. They pushed our tee time from 10:45 to 10:58. The starter John (sport) was completely ignorant. Won't be golfing there again.

Horrible course. Unfriendly staff. Pace of play entirely slow. We would have 3 groups on the tee box at any given time. Took 5.5 hours to play. Tried to go back in the pro shop at the end and was locked and employees inside were just shaking their head. It wasn’t even 5:15

Very disappointed that there are no legit ladies tee boxes. Had to tee off in the fairway, which was not always flat. Also course was very crowded, with no ranger helping to keep folks on pace. Took every bit of 5 hrs to play 18 holes.

Bought two gift certifates for my inlaws. Each round is 89.99. with tax 95.70. Total should be $191.41. The overweight, mouth breather says ok, $100.00 each. Even the lady working there says no, he just wants the round. The guy proceeds to charge the $100.00 and says they can buy tees and balls, but not water or food. Really?! I say I only want the difference between two rounds and $100.00 for the next card. He charged $100.00 anyway. I protested and he said too bad. I figured it wasn't worth yelling at the mentally vacant a hole but I will never golf here when I visit. Worth the warning, Florida man works here.

The new GM Eric is the biggest jerk I’ve ever met. I’ve played golf my entire life and never met someone as rude and awful to guests as Eric. I’ve played Tatum many times for years and never been treated like this. He ruined my day and my family who flew in from out of state decided to leave without playing golf because we were so upset. I live here and I am never playing Tatum again and I am telling everyone I ever meet in Sarasota to NEVER go there until Eric the GM fired. I can’t believe there are so many negative reviews here calling him out and yet the owners still have him employed. Let’s stand up against Tatum Ridge as a golf community and change that. Good riddance Eric… karma’s a little *****.

Course wasn’t really in the best shape, which I honestly don’t really mind.. I’ve played a lot of golf in many places, but I’ve never met a course GM like Eric. Definitely not a fan of how we speaks to his paying customers. Everyone else on the staff was great, especially the nice lady at the bar and the gentleman handling the carts. They were great. But New management needed for sure.

I’ve been playing here for years and have taught my two young sons to love the sport on this course and this courses management has gone downhill drastically… Not only the quality of the course, and it’s greens, but more so the unprofessionalism and outright rudeness of the manager. The rest of the staff is great: helpful and cheerful to talk with. Unfortunately, I’m talking specifically about the manager Eric who is the least professional I’ve ever experienced on any of the dozens of courses around us. Even when approached the next day about his employee (he quickly advised me it was he who I was calling to give some constructive feedback about) …with the overt disrespect, rudeness and talking down to our party. When we spoke the next day, he continued to display his aloof attitude to the situation and his actions, nothing but excuses and basically made it out to be our fault as to his demeanor …the lack of accountability is astounding and he probably knows he won’t be held to any standard of professionalism or customer service & curtesy. Use to be a fun course to play…

I played golf here on 10/26/23, with my family, for my older brothers birthday. We started off with 7 of us ( my brothers and our sons), and the manager (Eric) approached us at the first hole to inform us that we had too many players for one group. We are not avid golfers, and we were unaware of these particular rules, but regardless, we split up into 2 groups to be courteous players. My younger brother and I completed the first 9 holes, and then we waited for the rest of the family to finish. My little brother walked into the pro shop to use the restroom, and was met with Eric again. He was extremely rude to him, and immediately said, "I thought I told you that you can't have 7 people in one group." Eric was quick to snap at my brother and was obviously not paying attention, because our family DID SPLIT the groups up, and we had done exactly what he asked. We were being courteous and following the rules of the course. Eric needs to learn how to treat the paying customers that visit this course. I always thought of golf as a gentleman's sport, and I would have thought the people who work there would have more class than this.There are plenty of golf courses in Sarasota, and I will not waste my money on this one again.

Honestly worst course I've ever played at. Charged double the advertised rate. Fairways were mainly sand. Most of the tee boxes were closed. Staff was unhelpful and not friendly. DO NOT COME HERE.

The greens are okay, the fairways have hardly any grass. The staff is rude.

Nice course needs a little work here and there, but on the hole I had a very enjoyable day
