University of South Florida Golf Course - The Claw

Some tee boxes were in really bad shape with just sand so ur pretty much hitting out of a bunker off the tee which is the first time for me. The greens were really fast but u can tell that their drying out so hopefully the greens don’t get burned up. The layout is really nice and challenging just wish everything else was more taken cared of.

Zero effort of maintenance in the front 9. Sad that such a well laid out course is in such terrible shape.

Course is not taking care of at all tee boxes are all sand. Sand traps are not raked. Greens have golf cart tracks across them and have large spots of sand and random long grass in them. Sprinklers were on in the middle of the day. All the grass was dead. It is a shame because it is a challenging course that could be beautiful.

The t boxes need a lot of help. Very dry and Sandy. Some of the greens need help. The layout of the course was great. The carts were great as the staff was. For $26. On GN was good. I don’t think I would pay $37.

We thought that this course being affiliated with university would be an impeccable shape . Tboxes are sandpits greens, horrible what a waste. The only thing that’s affiliated with university is there practicing area which is off-limits to the general public

Beautiful course at a great price. Conditions may frustrate some experienced players, but had to complain at this price. Beautiful nature and wildlife, comfortable pace of play, but pro shop is a shipping container, and driving range is separate from the rest of the facility.

A lot of the tee boxes are nothing but dirt. Most of the greens are decent but not great.

This was my second time playing this course. My first time was when the signature hole was immaculate and difficult. Since then they have cut down the low hanging limbs that made hole 14 so fantastic and challenging. It still has the distinctive tree line that makes it difficult, if not impossible, to cut the dog leg. But the Claw was missed. The greens and about 40% of the tee boxes were in terrible shape. One tee box, a par 3, was nothing but sand.

This was the worse course I have played ever and I have been playing for 10 years. The grass on the tee box was 2” tall (un-cut) and the greens were not green they had more dirt than grass! For $ 47.00 what a total rip off! And the club house was a 10’ trailer. I could go on forever about how bad this was for the money! When we came up on the 18th green, the driving range and putting green practice area was being cut and watered!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

Just don’t play here! I will never again and I will tell everyone how bad it was!

There are maybe 3 good/really decent greens. There is no water on the course. The pro shop is a shipping crate. It’s a great layout with no housing, few holes face a major university street, and plenty of nature that may or may not help your slices and hooks. Not sure why no one puts anything into it but hopefully that changes one day

many greens had bare patches. Some tee boxes had no grass at all just sand,

Tea boxes, fairways, and most greens in bad shape.
