Bartow Golf Course
Rating Snapshot
About
Bartow Golf Course is a municipal course that offers an affordable yet challenging round. The course has a classic design with an interesting mix of holes that range from being wide open to narrow and tree lined. The postage-stamp-sized greens demand accuracy and there are also a few strategically placed bunkers lurking along the greensides. Build up your score on the front nine before tackling the tougher back nine. The golf course has enough challenges to keep more advanced players satisfied but it's forgiving enough to appeal to beginners as well. One of the most memorable holes is the par-3 13th. There is a tree that stands right in the middle of the fairway, forcing you to either go over or try to get around and risk going in the sand trap.

Great course from municipal course designer is Donald Ross
This is the first time I’ve played this course. It’s a Donald Ross design very enjoyable. Staff very friendly. You should go play it.
Great course, Fun to play
This course is in great shape even after all the rain we have had, the crew takes good care of it especially for a city course. Some long holes and some trees to tend with but overall, a great open course, greens are fast and can be tricky, I really like the course too bad they don't have memberships, I will definitely be playing there more often.
Cart path
The course was alright but there were several holes where it wouldn’t allow the cart in the fair way, it made our game take much longer than it needed to.
This course has come a long way.
Course is in very good shape. A lot of effort has been made to make this course very playable tee to green.
Great Municipal Course
My first time at the “Tow”. Proshop cashier and the starter were very helpful. Tee boxes and greens were in good shape. Fairways were pretty soft from all the rain recently but overall they were good. The pace was a little slow on the first 9 but picked up when some of the groups called it a day at the turn. We liked the layout and will definitely be back.
Bartow
Booked to play as wanted to try another Donald Ross course. Staff all very friendly and was allowed to start early though not until last of the earlier shotgun had teed off on number one. This should have been a worry and rightly so as we had to play behind really slow guys/groups playing a club scramble until they finished on number 12. That said I enjoyed the course which has smooth fast greens. Fairways are patchy at best so played preferred lies so that I could at least approach Ross’s small greens from grassy lies. Grill room looked inviting as did the specials board.
Straightforward course
Straightforward course on flat land. Conditions were decent. Holes on the range side have much more character. If you can get out early, it’s a solid track.
Great Round for second of year
The course is fairly straight firwaex; chalenging your abilities to shoot straight. Great groups behind and in front of my solo round-best thing that could have happened for a second round of the year. Pro shop. And starter were hospitable and polite. Although the grass on fairways is sparse the greens were god and allowed for decent putting.
Probably an underfunded course making the best of things.
More/Better grass would be nice. Still a quality Donald Ross course.
Poor condition and holes too close to each other
The course conditions were not very good. Fairways are not very green and the rough is very sparse. Greens roll good but are smaller and not very green. Pace of play is the best part is the best thing about this course.
