TPC Tampa Bay

I was a little skeptical to play this course based on some of the reviews I read that said the course was dry. I played this course for the first time Friday morning (05/09) and was the first tee time out. The course was by far and away the most green and lush course I have ever played. I had an excellent time here and an excellent experience. Staff was friendly and helpful and prepared me for the challenges that the course would present. I was informed by the staff that there was a relatively new manager who has been keeping the course in prestige condition. I assume the reviews of the course being dry were prior to this new manager. This was my favorite course I’ve ever played and I would reccomend it to anyone!

We ran into a crazy golfer. Staff knew about him but did nothing. golfer was solo playing multiple balls. swearing at golfers and trying to fight with them. The staff found it funny. but when your trying to have a good time on an expensive course. they should have done something.

This course is absolutely amazing! Fairways and greens are PGA tour level! I'm definitely coming back after shooting 79!!!

Thought the course was fun to play. Greens were very slick and challenging. Fairways were in good condition. Thought the price was a little high for this course. We played a couple of courses on this trip and this course was much higher cost then the others that in my opinion were comparable.

Was my first tpc course. Challenging for my skill level but paired up with similar skill level and was a great and challenging time on the course. Would recommend playing

Pro shop and bar staff were great. Very professional and courteous.

Beautiful day, course overall in great shape. Fast greens and solid breeze made it a good challenge. Can't wait to go back.

Best conditioned course I have experienced in the Tampa Bay Area. Friendly folks, easy pace of play

Great track, great shape, back 9 harder then from. Enjoyed but price is steep

The driving range and golf course is in very good shape, even after several inches of rain fell the night before (cart path only that day). Maintenance was out in force making repairs and it didn’t interfere with play. The pace of play was ok and when there were groups out of position, a ranger would ask the group to play quicker. The routing and design was very manageable with a cart. Overall, it was one of the best public courses in the Tampa/St Pete region.

Tee boxes and fairways are in good condition. Greens were slow and need rolling but very playable. Bunkers were hard as rock and had not been groomed. Golf carts were old and need of repair and quite frankly an insult for the 275$ green fees.

Mid march round, typical weather. 4 handicap feom Blue tees about 6600 yards, par 71.

Was concerned reading existing reviews and I can assure you this is as good as it gets in Tampa St Pete for challenging playability.

Everyone I encountered was friendly from pros, starter, cart stand, maintenance to the bar.

Layout is terrific. Very varied, water in play on probably 15 holes. Houses along some of the course but quite set back and not really noticeable. Good mix of length across all holes- par 3s, 4s and 5s. Par 4s pretty much 400+ but there is a short par 4 on each side. Can say I used every club in my bag which is pretty unique. One or two holes ended up obstructed from the fairway but no bog deal given first time playing the course.

Biggest challenge is off the tees in terms of hazards. No strictly forced carries where you have no choice on how big a bite to take. Greens were fantastic. Very puttable, no circus putts, and very little grain running at 11. Fairways tight but good lies throughout. March so the rough was thin.

Highly recommend.

Staff was great and very friendly

Tee Time was for 1:59, While waiting to check in the 2:30 group was given the 1;59 tee time on an oversite on the Clubhouses part (We where there and ready, and clubs on the cart). Got bumped to 2:44 but did get a nice discount. Things happen.

The course did not match the Website in any way not to mention it was cart path only. we were told by the starter not at the clubhouse.

The course does have a nice layout but i would expect it to be in much better condition, after all it does carry the TPC name. Greens speed was great but the over all course was not in much better shape than many public course in July. This was March 17TH. Pretty expensive when your local course is in better shape for a fraction on the price.
