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!

Fantastic

The golf course is in great shape, friendly staff, and good food, all greens are in prime conditions. Fairway also in good shape, some areas wet, but well managed. I really enjoyed my time playing. Definitely will play this golf course again.

Wetter than Expected

Have played here several times before including early last month. Surprised to see course much wetter than expected. Heavy rains 4/5 days ago still lingering and several holes should have been "cart path only" in our opinion. Then to top it off the weather man was wrong again and a storm that was not expected until later in the day showed up on hole # 8 and chased us off after # 12. With heavy rains expected next few days probably won't be very playable for a while.

Still love the course and the people and will be back, but only if it's been dry for a while.

Enjoyed the Course

First, I called to confirm my reservation on several occassions and was advised my 9:57am tee time was secured. I normally dont call to confirm but I had to adjust the number in my foursome and was notified that the course was hosting a par 3 challenge and I should not have been able to book the tee time via Golf Now. I again called to confirm on Thursday and was asked if I would consider 8:57am which I accepted because the group wanted to play. On Friday I called again and was advised the Par 3 challenge for members was cancelled and I could have my original tee time of 9:57 am and accepted the original time and asked that we be placed with another twosome since two of our party were unavailable. On Saturday, I arrived and was greeted by the friendly staff and informed my tee time was at 8:57am, even after 3 phone calls with the pro shop was unable to maintain the correct time. The staff found an opening even with split tee sheets, although, as I stood in the pro shop they continued to experience tee time issues. The course is a “spot” course and did not require much use of a driver. I enjoyed the company although the pace of play was very slow.

Never disappoints

Westchase is a great course with consistently good conditions. Pace of play is always good and practice area is top notch. My favorite part of this course is the layout. Very fair, yet challenging.

Soggy Course

Course layout was excellent; staff was friendly; however, the course conditions were horrible. Majority of the holes in the Lake course were soggy, no roll, ball plugged in the middle of the fairway and it was still hard to find. Wait until it dries out.

Challenging Layout

Great course. Fun to play and great layout. Plenty of trouble with water, trees and tight shots. Greens were nice. Some tee boxes rough but overall a great place to play for the money.

Excellent Course

My first outing at Westchase and man, they set the bar high. The pro-shop is picturesque, the starter (George) couldn’t have been nicer, and the range for $6 is all on water! The course was beautiful, parts feel as though you’re in Jurassic Park, with thick woods and classic bridges. Greens were in great condition, tee boxes were sufficient, and the cart girls were cute. Can’t ask for more. My only complaint is nearly unavoidable, but the course was absolutely soaked. Everywhere. Again, it rained the day before, but I fear the draining system may not be up to snuff. I will definitely be back though!

Water water everywhere

Friendly staff. OK layout. Lots of water and wetlands in play, especially on the front. Several forced carries, too. Not for me. To make matters worse the course received 4" of rain the night before making the track a soggy mess. As you can imagine no roll and lots of plugged balls. Don't bother playing here if it has rained a lot. The greens were true, rolling around 8 to 9. I'm OK with that. Fast greens are no fun.

Nice track and recommend with a coupon.

Enjoyed my round. Challenging course. Greens were punched 2 weeks ago and you can still see the marks. They rolled well, but speed was not consistant from green to green. Some tee boxes were cut nice and tighter than most courses which help with the numerous iron tee shots. Most tee boxes were fairly flat and not tilted like many other courses. Most holes are 380ish...kinda boring after a while. Good value with a coupon or hot deal.
