Tampa Bay Golf & Country Club
Rating Snapshot
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.

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!
Beautiful course!
Nice course layout, the fairways and greens were in great shape, overall it was it was visually very pleasing! The staff was also very friendly! I would definitely recommend this course if you have the chance to play it!
A rough day
Accidentally (my fault) showed up early. The pro-shop got us out early. The staff was very friendly. Course conditions were good, considering all the much needed rain. We don't get cartpath only conditions too often in Florida. But Sunday was one of them. I would like to play this course under normal conditions. There is lots of water hazards. Because of its short length, we had to blend the tees. And lastly. I was told that the course has alligators. But only saw 1 small one on 18. We don't have them ion Ocala courses. We weren't playing slow. Played in under 4 hrs, but let a faster 2-some play through. But another 2-some who we were not holding up. Suddenly jumped ahead of us. We caught up with them on the next tee box. Had a brief discussion, and let them go (2 young kids).. I'll come back and play some day. I wouldn't pay more than $60. It's not Lake Jovita 😕
Fun Course
I had not played this course in many years. The course other than wet in a couple of places was in fine shape and greens were quick and testing. I enjoyed the layout and pace of play was good. Price was in line with any in the area and the staff was accommodating where ever possible. Good value and a lot of fun.
Wow , great place
Wow , what a exciting layout. The course conditions (fairways & greens ) are absolutely amazing.
Hate to say anything bad because the course is amazing. But only thing to drink is at a very ,very busy bar . Also nothing to grab & go eat . So what, next time I'll bring a bottle of water & candy bar with me.
The fairway turf and speedy greens more than made up for anything bad.
Will be back !
