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!

Great maintenance work

I have played Westchase many times. This is one of my favorites in Tampa Bay area for several reasons. First the course design is beautiful, some holes can be challenging, water is sometimes in play but not too much. The course is also very well maintained, one of the best in Tampa Bay, even if they should do some improvements on some bunkers.

Second the fauna and the nature. We see a lot of animals at Westchase: deer, gators, plenty of birds, and we have a lot of nature, trees, mangroves, etc.

Third the quality of the welcoming. For example, early this morning, following 2.5 inches of rain last night, knowing that we had a mid-morning tee time, the pro contacted me to inform me that there was a lot of debris on the course and that it was car path only. It was totally normal to be car path only today, because we could feel the wetness of the fairways, even if they drained well. But the maintenance crew put a great effort to clean the course, and there was no more debris when we played. They did an excellent job.

Fourth and final, the management is very supportive of the US military and the veterans.

Russ is the best!

When I pull up Russ welcomes me and makes me want to be a part of this golf club. Not surprisingly when I am leaving Russ is driving off and slams his truck to a stop and asked how did I enjoy the course and invites me to come back! I will for sure, the course is well maintained and challenging but Russ is what in my mind sets places apart and I was thankful for the friendly welcome and send off!

All about the Greens

I have played here many years ago. So before going back I looked at recent reviews. The most prevalent obstacle I kept seeing was people complaining about nobody fixing ball marks on the greens. I found out why. They were what I call peppered with ball marks. When walking onto the greens, look around the inside of the flag cups, or watch your ball hit the greens with high towering shot and bounce off. You will feel it under your feet. The greens are rock hard. If my ball even made a pitch mark, I couldn't get the tool to penetrate the green surface to fix the ball mark. Strangely enough the greens were very puttable. A few occasions the ball marks weren't deep but could throw a put offline a little. With all the rain they got before we arrived, very surprised at how hard the greens were. Overall, it's a tough, challenging layout. With blind shots off the tee to narrow fairways with bottle necks in some places maybe 20 yards wide. We played cart path only, so that made it even tougher. With casual water everywhere by cart paths greens sides, and bunkers. I'm still bewildered by the hardness of the greens. I would go back, in the hopes my game is in better shape and to get to know the course better. Other than that, bring your A game and someone else's in your bag, its not easy.

Played on a Monday @1:45. Got stuck behind multiple groups of 4 by the 6th hole. Had to wait almost 15-20+ minutes on each hole thereafter. I wish there was a ranger there to speed up pace of play. And then the clubhouse didn’t have any food and the bartender was on her phone while taking our order. Aside from all that the course was in pretty good condition. Greens were fast just had a lot of divot marks.

Great course

This course is in great shape! Greens were vary fast but you can still land the ball on it and it’ll stay. A large group started right before I went out (single) and they told me I could start on #2. I never saw another person the rest of the round. Played 18 holes in 2 hours. Great experience

Great Course

Just recently moved to Town & Country and I’ve played quite a few courses in the Tampa area from Ruskin to Wesley Chap. ,Hudson, Z. Hills, Tarpon Springs I finally got around to playing Westchase. Had been wanting to play being its only 15 minutes away from me. So glad I finally did. It is by far the best course I’ve played as far as conditions. The greens were great. I am definitely coming back

Very good, can be great!

This is a beautiful course with a challenging layout. With just some minor improvements like better edging on the sand traps and getting rid of some of the crabgrass (the forward tees were in rough shape on many holes) this could be a great place. GPS on the carts would help as this one is tricky. Overall I hope they keep improving this place a it could easily be one of the best daily fee courses around.

Good conditions

The course is in great condition, unfortunately it seems they don’t have a Marshall, we had to quit , we got stuck behind a 4 some that each hit at least 4 balls, on every shot.

We were a 2 some and they dint even ask to let us play through, on every tee box, there was us and 3 other groups waiting.

No one show up to speed them up.. shame because the greens and the course is in great shape.

We won’t be going back for a while is not cheap and not being able to enjoy because of slow play is nothing worth the almost 200 bucks that cost to play it.
