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!

Pockmarked Greens

Fun layout hampered by putting greens that while fast, suffered from indifferent golfers not repairing pitch marks. We were the 5th group off that morning and repaired a bunch of pitch marks on every green. Every green had a lot of ball mark damage; definitely taking putts off line.

Hot!

It was a hot one out there as this course is built into a wetlands and the surrounding trees make it tough to get any breeze at all. Loved the layout but the greens seemed to have Vern very sandy making it tough to putt

I have played course of and on since it opened years ago

Course conditions are deplorable, especially the front nine. Could not distinguish between the rough and fairways which had not been cut in weeks due to rains. Fairways full of weeds as were the bunkers. Course was unplayable in many fairway landing areas. Average depth of some fairways was 6” and the rough was much worse. Do Not Play for rates currently being charged. Quite frankly they need to shut the course down until conditions are drastically improved.

Good public course

I added 1 star per category because of the strain Covid has caused on all business, golf clubs included. The layout is great, it’s a very nice piece of land, surrounded by trees and lakes. The pace of play was a problem, as were the bunkers and tee boxes. The fairways were good but had some issues with weeds and divots. There wasn’t any sand in the cart to replace or fill a divot and that’s obviously an issue. The greens were nice and rolled well. Casual club, lots of untucked shirts and so probably best used for practice when available.

The gentleman in the Pro Shop was unbelievably kind and provided an accurate description of the course when I checked in. Unfortunately there weren’t any range balls so you could only roll some putts and go.

I would give the course another shot but not until winter. The pace of play coupled with Summer heat (and rain) in Florida make it difficult to get in and out.

Final thought, go with friends and don’t worry about the pace of play, it is most suitable for a long round where you can be a little more casual.

Great for the location and price

As someone who lives here but generall plays other courses, I thought I'd give it a try for the first time in years.

The course conditions are solid although the greens could be slightly better as well as the fairways.

The course layout is a bit tight and not my favorite in terms of hole variety, although it's solid considering it's a residential course.

My main issue is that their mid-day prices are way too high for the summer and defintiely not worth over $40 which they continue to charge. If given a change the price, I would change it to 5-stars as I'd rather spend a tad more to play at TPC Tampa.

Also would add that the staff is quite friendly.
