Tampa Bay Golf & Country Club
About
Tampa Bay Golf & Country Club is a Scottish links-style layout that is routed through sparkling lakes and carefully preserved conservation areas. The challenging layout features narrow tree-lined fairways and water hazards on all 18 holes. The front nine is short and tight, which contrasts nicely with the longer and more open back nine. Overall though, the golf course is not particularly long by modern standards. It is a shot-maker's course, requiring both accuracy and skilled iron play. The course has a challenging finishing hole that sums up the best elements of the course. This par-4 is a sharp dogleg right with a slew of bunkers and a pond to reckon with. The hole borders a nature preserve, making it the prettiest and most challenging hole on the course.

Nice layout offering challenge from both the back and forward tees. Greens rolling true at a decent speed. Definitely recommend playing
Disappointing
This course has a very nice layout and at one point was probably very nice. Unfortunately it has not been maintained. Weeds growing in the bunkers. Fairways crab grass on some holes. They are replacing turf now so maybe it will come back but a$35-40 round.
Overrated
This is not a 5* golf course as advertised. Tees are mixed grasses as are fairways, greens and the rest of the course. Bunkers are not routinely treated,ie dragged and fluffed. They were crusty and unkempt. There were numerous areas in the fairways, alongside cart paths, and around the greens in need of TLC. Price on GolfNow made the disappointment I felt bearable.
Fun Track!
Although it was only 6,000 yards from the tips. Course layout challenged us. Lots of narrow fairways with water hazards on both sides. Greens were still recovering from aeration but rolled at a good speed for summer conditions in Florida. Tees and Fairways were great! Bunkers were below average but we’ve had a lot of rain in the last 2 weeks. We’ll definitely be back!
tight and challenging course
never been prior but had an incredible day of golf. practice facilities are adequate, staff was incredibly welcoming and offered advice, and the course was great.
a challenging and tight course with water everywhere. course management is key, fun round thinking about landing zones and second shots from the tee. i cannot wait to play again!
