Overview
For a state that’s essentially one giant sand bar, it’s remarkable how few of the 2,000 or so courses in Florida emphasize sand as a main ingredient of their design, or at least as a significant backdrop. That ubiquitous asset didn’t go unnoticed or unused at Soleta, a new club located in the quiet country about 30 east of Sarasota. Designer and three-time major champion Nick Price and his crews sculpted sinewy golf holes into dunes they churned from the site’s soft sugar sands, balancing firm turf with an equal amount of exposed earth. With few level lies, the design demands players control and shape shots if they want to score, and the par threes are particularly attractive, ringed in sand with bunkers the nibble at the edges.

Review
“At Soleta Golf Club it is important to hit the fairways, which are mostly wide, but if you miss them there are unique and nasty grass clumps and sand areas that are penal. There are more straight holes than doglegs, and more uphill holes than downhill, but the layout variety mix is adequate and fun. You have multiple shot options from the fairways into most greens, and also around the greens. Conditioning is very good with fast and firm fairways and greens that will hold a well struck shot and putt true. There are multiple tees for all types of players, and the course is quite challenging from the back tees for the low handicap golfer."

“The course is in outstanding condition with firm and true greens and fast and firm fairways. Interesting lines on the tee shots, with bunkers and native areas often in play. There are a number of options off the tee, including more aggressive lines and carries. A challenging course that would be very difficult with significant wind. Interesting green complexes that can have significant movement especially when fast. The white sand in the native and bunkers makes for a beautiful course aesthetically. I would welcome the chance to come back and play again."

“This is fun and unique course. It is really challenging across the board. You really have to think off of the tee, and greens are large and hard. With little or no rough, you will spend a lot of time in the waste areas. This place is really special and will continue to get better."

“Get here if you can! Challenging off the tee, fun around the greens. Three putts guaranteed. Big things ahead for the club (and the area)..the course is there, and they will come!"

“Soleta Golf Club was crafted by Nick Price on a completely flat parcel, so the architect was afforded total creative control. His response was to raise wide corridors and highly variable greens from soft white sand and scrub."

“Soleta is fairly unique for Florida golf.. Although not as hilly as Streamsong, like Streamsong it has achieved a turf quality that allows for a links style playing. This means there are many ways to play the course, and the ground game is certainly an option. The greens are large enough to allow quite different pins, which would significantly alter how you would want to approach a hole. Conditioning was excellent."

“Wonderful green complexes, however, a few greens on the back (10, 11, and 12) seemed to play slower and the grass presented differently. Several decision points on tee boxes relative to line and distance. Generous fairways that, if missed, were penalizing. Overall, a great track with some risk/reward decisions off the tees."
