About

Holes 18
Type Public/Municipal
Par 69
Length 5454 yards
Slope 121
Rating 66.4

The Chi Chi Rodriguez Golf Club, centrally located on McMullen Booth Road a comparably short course, offering just 5,454 yards from the blue tees and a slope rating of 118. Most of the fairways are wide, making errant shots still playable. In essence, it is the ideal place to work on your golf game, to correct that nasty slice or learn to hit that oversized driver without fear of losing 100 balls. As a result, it is a favorite among novice golfers who want to be challenged but also have an enjoyable round.

Overrated

Course was poorly maintained and facilities were outdated. Only benefit was the friendly staff who moved our twosome ahead of a sixsome. Much better courses in the Tampa/clearwater area.

Good public course

For public courses in this area the conditions are very good. You might look at the card and think it’s short but that doesn’t mean it’s easy.

Plenty of water and weeds to kill your score if you don’t hit ‘em straight,

RIP Sr Rodriguez

Beautiful Course

We both really enjoyed this course as it is a bit shorter than most courses and beautiful holes and layout. Great course for anyone but especially those who don’t play a lot as it was very forgiving and only a couple difficult holes. Definetely will be back to play this course again.

Nice Thurs PM round

Finished in 3 hr 15, had to wait a few times on group ahead. Tight lies in fairways and many soggy spots, bunkers in good shape (wish i didn't know that), greens sanded today, but rolled good, They'll be great in a week or so. Tees are being reseeded. Weather was beautiful!

Great condition and challenging

I saw the course was rated in really good condition. When I got there I found out Jack Nicklaus helped to design the course. I was very impressed with how challenging the par 67 was, and what great conditions the greens were in. And they were fast. High recommend this course. Bring some extra golf balls.
