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!

Tested Jewel

There's golf courses all over the city that are in good shape or a real test. But there are very few that are both. As advertised—shot makers course, in great condition every time, with unique greens that you have to prepare for. You succeed or fail with your ability to play good shots. I love coming here. The staff is friendly and the burgers are tasty!

Beautiful course, but a bit long and challenging for this high handicapper. .....lots of water, and sand hazards and areas that need a high long accurate second ( or third ) shot into most greens.......The greens are fast and not too undulating ....nice wide ( on most holes ) fairways with high grass off the fairways if you spray your shots..........

Why?

I went to play 4 days after hurricane Ian crossed Florida. The course was in poor shape, all the fairways and roughs needed mowing and weeding I get it. You just had a storm that crippled some of the state and the course was not in condition to tolerate mowing and care. Why charge full rate $74? It’s not right and as a member I was somewhat embarrassed

Worth playing

Have been trying different courses in the Tampa area. Staff is super nice and helpful. Tee boxes were good condition. Fairways were ok in general. Greens didn’t hold a ball but putted well. Overall I’d recommend Westchase.

Beautiful but HARD

Before I chose to play here, I checked out some reviews and saw that the course was on the more difficult scale but I was up to the challenge. The course delivered completely. The fairways were in great shape, green recently aerated but still rolled true, but the bunkers were sadly hard from rain the previous day so that was a downfall. The range is quite small, however it is an aqua-range which was a cool touch. The greens are quick, but predictable to an extent. Be prepared to be challenged by this course and do yourself a favor by using a GPS app like 18Birdies so you can know where to miss. Overall very pleased with the course and will be back again, just next time not the first time playing with new irons.

Nice course

Greens have a decent amount of unfixed divots which makes for some aggravating putting. Other than that the course is in pretty good shape

Great course

Westchase is a great course. The water and blind holes make it a fun challenge balanced by most holes you can hit in regulation.

Challenging Track

Start by saying, I will definitely be back.

Pretty tough course, with a mix of challenges and protections. Greens were super hard and tough to stick, coupled with a lot of front pins that were a bit over the top for approach shots over 120 yards or so. It also leads to those weird pitch marks, which are really bruises that you can’t see to repair but end up going black down the road.

Greens rolled true but for those spots, which were limited on most greens. Fast but super nice, zero real complaints on the putting surfaces.

Fairways were all lovely, rough was punitive but fair— fluffy but not overgrown. Most tee boxes were in very good shape, but a few were crabby and had very nasty ripples and slopes. We played the blues, so very few divots.

To be fair to the conditions, it’s summer and these are all nitpicks.
