Westchase Golf Club

I don't play a lot in Florida, and never have before in Tampa, so I don't really know the value equation for daily fee golf. The course was in decent shape, just expected more overall for this kind of money. Water driving range, never loved them. Greens were pretty slow compared to bent up north but maybe this is central/SW Florida standard pace. We played super fast, which makes up for flaws in my book. Standard Florida housing everywhere, lots of water and sand, tight, etc.

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.

Joe , the cart greeter / ambassador is a genuine great guy and extremely helpful !!

A great service golf course. Staff is friendly and helpful. Tee times are managed well. Pairings are accommodated well.

Greens are always true. A well maintained facility.

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

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.

Greens were running fast but very choppy. Putts bouncing and deflecting all over. Needs way more seeding. Fringe had weeds and bare spots, or tall grass. Fairways nice. Tee boxes with lots of grass but need to be cut badly. Long enough to be rough. For the money, not worth it.

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.

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.

After reading reviews from December and January, I was a little concerned as there were several that indicated bad greens and bunkers with lots of bad areas on the fairways as well. I saw NONE of that! The greens were in great condition and really fast/challenging! The bunkers were dry and raked. No indication of any issues on the fairways. The staff were incredible and the awards for friendliness are well deserved!! I look forward to playing again in the near future! Great value for the money!

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.

Great course ! Not easy. Target golf!! Bring golf balls!!

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.

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.

Nice little track, but very narrow on most holes.

Good value for the money. Close to Tampa airport (20 minutes away).

Course conditions were laughable for what they charge… $100+ for a round and I have seen punched greens with less bounce. Fairways are decent. Bunkers have never been touched basically just sand boxes. There is a reason they barely have any course pictures on the website…. I would say the course is about a $25-$30 round of golf. I really don’t even understand how they charge so much, was close to asking for a refund at the turn. Local muni par 3 courses are in 1000x better shape. SAVE YOUR MONEY
