Rating 72.0

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!

Needs help

For the $ you would expect more. Tee boxes were beat up. Water in sand traps…not because of rain, and none raked on front nine. Over watered in areas creating muddy lies. Course layout is fair, although too many holes where you had to lay up for my liking. Greens were in good shape and rolled consistently at a 10. Driving range was the type you hit into the water with no markers.

Not my favorite track

Some of the holes were a bit quirky and not well designed. Course conditions were definitely average, with greens that were rock hard and had very low grass coverage on them, it was almost as if the course skipped the winter overseeding process, although the greens did roll just fine and weren't overly slow. Very narrow off the tee so bring lots of golf balls.

Fun round but tough for it's slope rating

We enjoyed the course, but pace was slow. Greens were rolling nicely, and condition were good. Range with floating golf balls is a novelty but balls feel weird. Definitely worth a try

3.5 hours for 12 holes

Absolutely insane pace of play and when we tried calling the pro shop from the course, no answer. No Marshalls on the course and when the pro shop was told (after we left the course) that we had only been able to play 12 holes in 3.5 hours, “well, it’s busy today”. Well, I paid for a full 18 holes and wasn’t able to get that in. Give me a refund.

Challenging

One of the better courses in this area. Nice tee boxes and fairways. Greens in good shape, running a bit fast for my game.

So very difficult holes as fairways are narrow on most holes. Water on most holes.

Back nine takes you away from the homes and into a beautiful natural forest.

Would like to play there again to get a better feel for the course.

Nice course with great staff

I live about 1 mile from the course. I have played many times and attended numerous golf training events. So, maybe I am bias. I love the layout of the course and that it runs through natural habitat. The course is challenging, but fair. The pro shop staff, the golf pros, the people who run the bar and restaurant area, are just great people. I will go back again and again
