Fantastic Staff

The staff here were some of the best I’ve seen. Greeted you at your car and even wiped down your clubs after the round. The course was in fair shape but the design is great, very challenging.

The whole course was excellent.

The course was in great shape. The greens were full and holding approach shots. The fairways were green and almost every shot was off of grass. it was a pleasure to play. Would recommend the course to anyone.

A nice neighborhood course

I played this course several times last year and tried it again this week. The course is in fairly good conditions with a few rough spots. The new 17th hole is open and playable. The pace of play was right at 4 hours. Ill be back

Nice course, beautiful day

Third time playing this course One of the better value courses in the Tampa area, in my opinion. Today was the last day for the temporary 17th hole. New & improved 17th hole opens tomorrow to the public. Access to the was provided to members only today.

Nice course

Cheval is a nice course with a lot of water. Many of the holes are challenging and the greens are not overly fast but consistent. For $50 it is worth the trip. It happens to be right next to TPC Tampa which is also great course. I will schedule again.

I’ll Pass

Had all the makings for a great round of golf, but water in play on every hole and terrible course conditions made for a frustrating round. We were sandwiched between a slow twosome in front who were hitting multiple tee shots each, and a single behind who kept hitting drives into us. Won’t be back.

Nice Course Great Value

During our 9 day stay in Tampa, we played this course twice. Very positive experience with the friendly staff and quality of the golf course for the price. Nice layout with many scenic and challenging holes. A few greens had some minor kill areas, but overall they were in good shape and rolled nicely. Homes do not infringe on the course and there are lots of natural areas.

Great Afternoon.....Improvised Green and Tee Box on 17

Played Cheval today for $41 using golfnow. Upon arrival I learned they had no range balls available to warm up and the balls, if available, were $7 additional. The practice green and several others have damage from a fungus although you can putt on The surfaces. The pace of play was 4 hours amd 20 minutes. All in all the course was in good shape except they are still using a make-shift green and improvised tee box for 17. (Price ahould be lower with improvised green/tee box) The club touted the GPS system however cart #42 took several holes to function properly.

With the improvised hole for 17 and condition $41 is the max I would pay and balls should be available and included in the green fee until hole 17 is fully operational.

So, to become a member at Cheval they charge $250-$270 per month plus a $34 cart fee per round.......so at $41 per round ( possibly cheaper if tou dont mind playing later in the day) on golfnow why join unless you and the family play golf, tennis, workout, and dont have a pool at home.

Cheval golf

Course has a few poor spots on a couple of greens, but most very good. Temp hole on 17 is not good. Staff and pace of play are great. Layout is a good challenge every time.

Good place to play.

Wait until next year!

Was a perfect day until we got to the greens on 15 & 16 which had alot of bare areas. Then 17 which had mats to tee from 90 or 125. They are constructing new 17 across the road. These facts should have been told to us at the start of the round!
