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!

Beautiful course with great amenities

The course was in great shape, the greens were very true and the pace of play for the day after Thanksgiving was very good. The only recommendation I have is that the par threes should have distance markers in the Tee Box areas for players who do not have GPS.

Overall a good course to play. The greens were faster than anticipated, especially given the below average appearance of the greens.

Nice Fairways, Speedy Greens

Compared to many courses in the area, Westchase has cut their greens close to give them the speed one expects on a higher rated course. Rough is a bit grabby which is normal for Bermuda grasses after a wet Summer but the fairways give excellent lies. Drives in the fairway lead to excellent scoring opportunities but stay below the hole or a missed putt may be a eight foot try for par.

Love the course

I've played there a lot over the years. The first cut just off the greens needed work on some of the wholes. But greens and fairways were in great shape. Bunkers nice fluffy. Tee boxes good shape grass a little long for my taste. People always friendly and helpful. Will always play there. They also have there kids free program. I bring my 5 year old grandson to play all the time. Yes I said 5 years old. And he plays. Yes played. He hits the ball 125 to 150 off the tee. He boggeed all the par 3s.

Overbooked

We arrived 30 min ahead of tee time and were told GolfNow should've never offered our tee time because they had a tournament scheduled that afternoon (of course it's not their fault). We were immediately rushed out to the 11th hole to start our round and told to stay ahead of the tournament. We ran into the back of another group and had to wait every hole until after the 18th. No apology or offer to make it up to us from the staff.

5h plus round

Very friendly staff, excellent greens and interesting course layout. Pace of play was terrible. We were playing behind a women’s league foursome which was extremely slow even with cart path only rules. Our round was 5 hours 25 minutes which took the fun out of the game.

Course layout very good with a lot of water coming into play. However, some major roads close to some holes and distances not correct on some holes (my wife‘s tee box was about 20 yards from the 200 yard mark but the score card said more than 320 yards!?). If you play a course for the first time you need to rely on yardages on the score card. I hit a perfect shot on a par3 which I was expecting to land next to the pin but ended up 10 yards behind the green.

Liked it enough to play it again

To start, the driving range is a lake so hitting balls in the water seems normal after a while :) The course was in very good shape despite some wet conditions. Greens were firm and fast, but that's how I like them. Got paired up with a local, which was invaluable on a few holes. Accurate tee shot placement is a must on a number of holes. Excellent staff in the pro shop and the restaurant. Overall a very enjoyable round. Thank you

New favorite course

The pro told me it was really wet, cart path only. I walked, luckily there wasn't nearly as much water as they made it seem. Walked in under 3.5 hours. Great pace of play and very challenging pin positions. Can't wait to return.

Pleasant Morning at Westchase

My brother and I were looking for reasonably priced golf courses in the Clearwater area. We picked up a GolfNow reservation and discovered the price we paid was just about the normal weekday rate. The staff was very attentive and courteous. We got in and out of the proshop, hit a few, putted a few and played a quick round in about 3 hours. Greens were true and quick. As it was the first time on the course we played up a box and found it to be plenty challenging.We had lunch after the round and the restaurant was OK. I will be back.

Well Conditioned Course!

This was my first time playing Westchase and it was worth the ride from St. Petersburg. The course was in great condition. All lies in the fairway were lush and the greens were in good condition and rolled trues and fast. I’ll definitely be back.

Always Good

I play allover Pasco and Hillsborough counties and I haven't seen better and more consistent fairways than at Westchase. No need to look for a tuft of grass in the fairways-just about every lie is perfect. The greens were a little stiff and hard, but rolled quickly and true. Not as much break as you may read. ACTUAL SAND in the sand traps! Some very easy holes, some tough ones, but overall a nice mix and a very pleasant place to play.

Highly recommended.

Nice Course, Friendly Staff

This course is not super challenging but has some nice holes. Staff were very friendly. Greens were a little slower than I was told but not a big deal. I have only one complaint & that is that there were no yardage markings on the tee boxes. The scorecard said a yardage but the tee boxes used didn’t always lined up with that yardage. I didn’t have my GPS with me & that created a few interesting shots that sailed over the green. All in all a very nice course & at a very good price. I would def play it again.

Great course

The course was in fantastic shape. Ball sat up nice in the fairways and the greens were rolling true and I’d estimate at about a 10 or 11. They weren’t busy so I pretty much had the course to myself and finished in a little over 3 hours.

The slope rating says 118 from the white tees, but I’d move that up a bit base on some of the tight fairways.
