Chi Chi Rodriguez Golf Club

Check in, starter and ranger staff were all very polite. Starter got us out 15 mins. ahead of our start time. Pace was great. Greens were recently aerated but the sand was just about gone(no sand splashes on approach shots).The greens were firm and rolled very very fast and smooth.

Tee boxes were all level and well maintained. Most fairways were in good shape, a few spots here or there but overall in good condition, they were firm as well so lots of roll out on your tee shots.

Great course design and always a challenge to place the ball in the right spots to score well.

A great experience, especially if you can get a golf now hot deal.

Overall a great day with friends and a very nice course. Greens played inconsistent due to mostly sandy coating. Greens here are hardpan and even high shots don’t settle and stay. Frustrating for some well placed shots.

Always a fun place to play. Mostly us older guys with a day to enjoy a non pushy group behind us.

Probably over booked at times but you have to get the business when it’s in town. Understand but us locals not thrilled with that especially at the higher seasonal prices.

How about a price for us locals?

Jj

Overall good value but the greens weren’t in good shape and rock hard.

Play this course with a friend and had two riders with us. It was a great time and a great value!

My partner and I drove up to Tampa just to play this course. It was the 2nd most difficult course I have ever played but I love a good challenge so that I can get better at my game. Despite how challenging it is it was still very fun and had long yardage which I love for someone who loves to hit what my partner calls home runs xD. The Staff was very kind and had great customer service. The club house is small but has snacks, hot dogs, sodas. juice, water, golf equipment to buy along with clothes and shoes! If you're coming from out of town the drive on the way here is really beautiful and once you enter clearwater the views of the ocean are to die for so if you have an early tee time and want to jump in some water after make sure to bring your swim suits because the beach is minutes away! The only thing I had to complain about was the fact that a group of 4 were behind us and were seriously rushing their game that they would tee off without shouting out four even when they saw me getting ready to hit into the greens and their golf balls would reach right by us. Our playing pace as a group of 2 was somewhat fast so the rush of a group of 4 behind us was unnecessary. (This isn't a complaint about the course but about the courtesy a group should have for the people in front of them). Other than that I recommend to those that want a challenge to come to this course! 10/10! I hope to be able to visit again some day soon.

Played on a windy Monday, late morning. Starter matched me up with 2 guys out for first round of the year. We had a good time. Tee shot accuracy is key on many holes. Greens were sanded, fast but receptive to good shots. Sand traps were in surprisingly good condition for public course. Really liked working on my wedge game and short irons. I thought the fee was an excellent value for the money. Finished in 3hrs 40min. Go check out the course and support the foundation.

Lors de notre partie tous les verts avaient été sablés et les allées n'avaient pas beaucoup de gazon. Pas agréable a jouer.

Our starter, Gordon, contributed in making this a great day on the course. While waiting for our start time, Gordon filled us in on the ChiChi history. Fantastic. We used his recommendation on which tees to play which turned out to be very accurate. The course is short but challenging. Greens were fast. Seven of us playing using two tee times. Everyone loved the course. We will return here.
