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!

Punched but Pretty

This is a beautifully maintained course. They recently punched the greens so the fees were reduced and I could afford to play it again. Fairways and tees are gorgeous. Greens were punched and VERY fast. I do think they were a little tired and bare, You need to strategize many of your shots and there were quite a few "carry" shots over water, traps, etc.

But overall it was a great day. Recommended.

Good course…..BUT

I played at a very good golf now discount and used my points so it only cost me $25, which at this course is unheard of. I live 3 miles from the course but have never played here in 2 yrs of living in Tampa. I play two times a week and it’s just unaffordable for my “normal” income and lifestyle.

The course is , in my opinion , very easy from the white tees(6200). If you’re a low handicapper, you will score low-80s to low 70’s—no problem. I drove two par 5s, and rarely do this anymore at 54 yrs of age.

This course isn’t worth more than $40(especially in the summer afternoons in FL). The green fees are some of the highest around for the Tampa area. The conditions are good , but no way is it worth the $50 -$80 a round that the course charges. I was literally almost the almost golfer out on the course , and I tee off at 11, not 1 or 2 in the afternoon. They should have much better discounts in the dog days of summer to get people out on the course. Btw, it wasn’t even terribly hot either.

If I play again(only playing if I get $40 or less rate, which is hard to do at this course), I will play the tips and I can see this being a little more challenging, but the slope rating still isn’t that hard.

It was nice going out as a single and not having to join a two some or three some of friends , or beginning golfers who struggle to hit the ball on most holes. I have noticed since

Moving to Tampa, there are a lot of high handicap golfers who don’t seem to have a clue how to swing a golf club and especially once’s that have a decent short game(chipping and pitching is all technique). You tube can teach people A LOT, if only people would check out some good instruction on there. Off my rant. . Have fun..:)

Hi namlook,

sorry to jump on your post.

but we are travelling over from the UK in 2024 and I'm trying to research some good value, but good quality courses between Posner Park (Nr.Championsgate) and Tampa.

we've played TPC Tampa a couple of times which we all enjoyed, difficult course and now way too expensive!! like $50 over our budget now. the time of year would be February.

If you were willing to enlighten our group on some hidden gems that would be gratfully appreciated.

Handicaps of the group range from 6 to 19

Poor Value for the price

Simply put, WC is not worth the money you pay to play the course. It’s a solid course, in good shape, fairly tight but $91 on a late Saturday morning in the summer is not fair value. WC is very centrally located so I’m guessing that’s what generates the traffic, but for that money you should pay the extra and go play TPC or head out to Lake Jovita or pay a bit less and head to Fox Hollow or Dunedin. The course is in pretty good shape but ever since Covid, WC has raised rate’s because they knew they could and people would still go. It’s a shame really.

Nice course

We like this course, it has gotten a bit expensive 200 buck for 2 that is a bit much.

But it is a nice course, we are local and have a choice of many other courses, but if you are visiting its a nice course to play at.

But you add another 100 bucks and you can go play TPC Tampa bay instead.

Westchase

Best public track in the Clearwater/Tampa area. Biggest complaint is the bunkers and greens. Greens seem to have gotten worse as the years gone on. Tough to get a true roll out of them.

Bumpy greens

I play 4 times a week at my country club but try to test other places to change up the scene … $85 to play greens that go off-line & bounce / skip from 4 feet isn’t worth it , staff is nice and layout is unique 👍

I expected more from this golf course.

The greens and bunkers are unkept. The greens are rock hard and were very patchy. There are plenty of better and less expensive golf courses to play at compared to here. Until this changes I would not recommend anyone to go here. Especially for what they charge.
