Designed by Lloyd Clifton, Westchase winds through acres of lakes, conservation areas and forest. It offers manicured greens surrounded by natural wetlands, wooden bridges and bulkheads. With its 9,500 sq. ft. clubhouse, full-service dining room, and fully stocked pro shop, Westchase offers a country club atmosphere along with first-class service. The golf club has established itself as one of Tampa Bay's best upscale golf facilities. The front nine meander through an impressive pine forest. The back nine -- which is demanding on the tee shot -- features lakes, wetlands and cypress. Strategically placed bunkers, more sparkling lakes and stands of cypress, oak, palmetto and pine frame the fairways and greens. Signature Hole No. 3, at 212 yards from the back tee, is all you can handle -- It's a Par 3 all-carry over water from the back tee!

Nice Course

Had fun - had to adjust teetime due to delay in flight. Staff was very accommodating. Course is tight, so play conservative. Greens were fine but can tell a lot of play. Lots of hallmarks. Had quick lunch before round. Nothing special but hit the spot. Could invest in cutting back vegetation especially par 3 17th hole. Open up course a little.

Fun layout but...

Enjoy this course and will come back to play again but greens were a little beat up with alot of ball marks. Just that time of year with alot of rounds played but will always come back because it's a good challenge with forcing you to hit different shots & clubs off the tee (not always driver). Feel the slope rating maybe could be a little higher for the difficulty.

Enjoyable

Great layout that forces you to think off the tee and not just bomb it with driver off every tee box. Greens were a bit thin and has seen a lot of use, but it's still a worthwhile visit.

Pace of play

We started tee up at 10th hole. 2 player were on front of us but from 12th hole 5 players have played on front of us till 17th hole and they were very slow and we have waited every hole.That was very bad experience to us in such a good golf course.

Tough

The first thing happened is that the starter bullied us into starting 20 minutes early because he wanted to move more people onto the course. We never had a chance to warm up. The greens do not hold and are thin and sparse and bumpy from the amount of heavy play. The fairways are very nice. The overall layout is very difficult with Outabounds and water on every hole if you don’t hit the ball straight, don’t play there but again the starter was not a very friendly person and was more interested in grabbing people on the course than us enjoying ourselves.

Average course

The course is challenging, and the layout is good. The greens were bumpy and not very well developed. Just average would not overly recommend.

Westchase GC

We played Westchase GC last Sunday.
This golf course is certainly one of the nicest GC in Tampa Bay area, and for several reasons:
1/ As soon as you arrive, their crew is welcoming you very nicely
2/ The staff in the Pro-Shop is very professional and makes you feel at ease
3/ And this is the most important part:
3.1/ the course is beautifully designed, and almost all the holes are very challenging
3.2/ they did a lot of work recently on their bunkers
3.3/ the fairways are in exceptional condition
3.4/ even if the greens have a lot of marks they are really true
We have been playing many golf courses around Tampa Bay, but Westchase is certainly one of our favorites.
Regards.

Challenging but fun

The course was very busy but the club did a great job of keeping things moving. All the employees i encountered were very helpful and friendly.. I’m a high handicap so some holes were a little challenging but I’d still recommend this course to all my friends.

Train Wreck

The pace of play is very slow on this course, but we had a 7 group pile up on hole 14. Carts were wizzing passed us with angry golfers calling it a day. I managed to drive back to 10 and play up to hole 16 when it was blocked solid again. They really need Rangers/Marshals on this course.

Wonderful Westchase

Course was in very good shape. Tee boxes, fairways and greens were consistently among the best we have experienced during this Florida trip. Would recommend this as a Tampa area "must play course". Generous fairways and large greens. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Played 18 in 3 1/2 hours.

Less Than Expected

Don’t expect a lot from this course. No variety in holes, every hole is surrounded by marsh like trees and shrubs, greens are spotty with no true roll. I played with my wife who is new to golf so it was okay for this setting. $245 for two rounds and bucket of balls. For that price, there has got to be something better.

Westchase sorta great

Played for first time. Staff very friendly. Restaurant staff very nice. Course layout is acceptable. Not a course where u would remember any particular hole. Course in fair shape greens need work ball doesn’t roll well at all. Price was ok. Zach said would come back only if Tpc doesn’t have tee times.
