Brooksville Country Club offers a uniquely scenic experience with a rolling landscape covered with live oaks and remnants of the abandoned limestone mine still present throughout. The surroundings are unlike any other golf courses in central Florida, which has made it popular amongst both locals and visitors. Besides the beautiful scenery, the terrain provides dramatic elevation changes that make each hole unique. The traditional layout features contoured, rolling fairways and four memorable holes that play along and through a century-old quarry. The golf course starts out gently but becomes progressively more challenging as you head towards the back nine, which was designed by Bobby Weed. It is a layout that demands precision and rewards skillful shotmaking. In addition to the unique setting and challenging design, Brooksville Country Club also boasts immaculately conditioned fairways and greens.

Poor course conditions

Played here before and loved it but the course is in extremely bad shape. The greens in the first nine holes were terrible and not playable at all. Course is better in the beck nine but clearly has not been watered in some time.

Bad shape

They really need to do something about this place. It was only $25 to play but man it was rough. Used to be one of the best courses around.

We had a wonderful day after Christmas

If we were there to play golf alone it would have been disappointing, BUT we really had a fun time. My wife and I play a scramble against our daughter and son-in-law. If the greens had grass instead of sand I think we would have scored better. We really had a great time. The staff were great!

Bonneville Salt Flats Greens

The greens are terrible! They reminded me of the Bonneville Salt Flats proving grounds. I can play courses that have poor fairways and tee box areas ( which this course also has in plenty) but geez, too many shoddy greens makes for a regrettable waste of time and money. However, the back nine (9) is the fun layout of the course. Even so, I would be “hard-pressed” to play this course again until the greens are better.

Poor Greens/ Fairways

The fairways were furry, you couldn’t tell if you were in the fairway or rough. It like playing in someone back yard.

Greens were nothing but sand, patchy, bumpy, inconsistent. Probably the worst greens a played on.

The course would be fun if they took care of it.

What Has Happened to Brooksville?

When I first played this course, you would have had a hard time convincing me there was a better course for the money in Florida. This course was elite and the layout made it so much fun to play.

Now after this last visit, they’ve let this place start to die for some reason. The greens are in terrible shape. The fairways, slightly better. The tee boxes felt like I was hitting off shag carpet from the 80s. You had to tee up an iron on a par three or you were basically hitting from the rough off the tee boxes.

It’s very disappointing what’s happening to Brooksville. I drove an hour from St. Pete to play here and I won’t be doing that again due to the condition of the course.

Maybe one day they will care again and restore it to what it was, one of the best courses in the state…

Almost nice.

The area the course is in is absolutely beautiful. Range and practice area were decent. The tee boxes were a mess, and the greens weren’t even usable. If you want to get out and play for $20 and enjoy the scenery, then it’s not a bad deal. If you’re even a semi-serious golfer you will be disappointed. Nothing worse than playing a hole well and not being able to finish with a fair shot at a putt. I hope they can get this course buttoned up because I love the layout and the scenery.

It's gone downhill HARD

I last played here around March or so of this year and the course had some issues then, but nothing like now.

Shamrock/weed fairways, BUSTED up greens, tee boxes are beat to shreds

This course is definitely in the worst condition of everything I've played in the Tampa Bay area, and I play a different course at least once a week.

I'm going to wait a year to see if it improves or they go out of business... Either way I'm not coming back here for awhile, they need to tear everything up and lay down completely new sod everywhere. And once that happens, they need to learn how to control fungus...

I'm not even sure if I'd come play here for free. I lost a ball that was smacked straight down the middle of the fairway...

Don’t pay even $1 to play here.

The greens are absolutely unplayable. We play 2 or 3 days a week this is easily the worst course I’ve played in the past few years. Maybe the next ownership can get this fix. I’d expect this place to be shutdown very soon. Simply too many great choices in the same price range to waste money on this absolute garbage track.

stay away!

From the first sight of the practice green, we knew the conditions were going to be very rough. It looks the owner is just collecting money. The fairways are terrible and the greens are worse. The greens were almost all sand with significant weeds growing on them. Tee boxes were also looked like no one takes care of them. Spoke to the clubhouse and they justified the conditions by saying the price was only 35 instead of 60 LOL.

Don't waste your money

Simply put, this course was a disaster. You can lose your ball in the middle of the Fairways. It is not a Fairways. Just pasture. And the greens are worse. 95% sand. I actually quit after 9 holes it was so bad.

On the downhill slide

Last year this course was in pretty good shape. It’s a public course in Florida so you can’t expect great conditions at this price, But honestly, greens with weeds growing up on the surface, horrible ruts and half the green just dirt and sand? Just sad. Fairway grass so high that you have to spend time looking for your ball, leading to slow play. Meanwhile, they’re mowing the rough? Wish I had pix because I saw other reviews and I thought they were just being overly critical.
