Tampa Bay Golf & Country Club

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 !

No complaints about this course really. The person I was paired with cussed incessantly and that was annoying. As well, he talked A LOT and complained even on good shots. It was difficult to enjoy the round to be honest. But, it was still better than being at work. The course conditions were good to go and for the price, I'd do it again for sure.

First time playing the Championship Course and was very impressed. I’d play here over Jovita any day. Well kept, greens rolled nice and pace of play is better than any other course in the area. Highly recommended!

At just under 6100 yards it’s not the easiest par 72. Lot of water and tight spaces. Greens are fast and in great shape. Fairways and tee boxes are amazing as well. Well worth a $70 tee time. Will make this a priority course going forward now that they’re more open to the public

I play in a league that plays weekly all over the area. This was by far one of the best condition courses we had played all year.

The course is in good shape. green grass all around. Putting greens are very smooth and pretty quick somewhat a challenging layout. The only bad thing is NO WATER to drink and no cart service. Being semi-private I was very bummed about that aspect. 5 stars for the overall experience I suggest you play here it is a little short so not all driver holes but that's fun and you can use all your clubs in the bag,

This is a great, fun and challenging course. You won't need a driver on some holes. I will be back soon

Fairways were great. Course conditions were overall very good for this time of year. Course is a little short but accuracy is required. Really enjoyed the course and the people I was pared with. Great day! Congrats to the superintendent on a very good product!!

It was a beautiful afternoon and about 85 degrees. Started in mid afternoon and just finished before dark at about 6:20. The round was about 4 1/2 hours long which was fine by me. I had a second golfer with me, and we paired with a couple on the first tee. Both of us just over 70 years old elected to play the gold tees. The course condition especially for the winter was very good. Bunkers were well done, there was grass everywhere, the Greens were well taken care of as well. Of course worked its way through a residential development. The layout is pretty clear and in front of you. There are no trees or obstacles but one has to navigate the slight turns and bends especially around several water hazards on the back 9, especially the last half of the back nine. Overall it was a very pleasant and enjoyable round not stressful nor rushed. I would point out that there's only two places to get water on the course at 2 of the affixed restroom stations. So one may want to carry their own water. My total cost includes fees and taxes.

Course was in great shape! Due to COVID 19 the clubhouse was closed but we were able to get out in the fresh air and enjoy the day. Rick is great to work with.

As for the course, you better be straight, and accurate cause their is trouble everywhere. If you play the 150 pole and then hot a good approach you can score well.

This course was very enjoyable. The thing that I would note the most is the abundance of water. It seemed like every single hole had water on the left and right. If you're accurate, it was avoidable but a better player will have a better time. Accuracy off the tee is critical for this fact. There were a lot of very nice holes on this golf course. One that I liked the most was a very short par 4 where three wood was plenty off the tee. The greens were very nice, even late in the day. I look forward to playing here again.

The course was very good. It looked good. It was in very good condition and not too wet. Tee boxes were in good condition, fairways were in good condition, and greens were in pretty good condition with some ball marks. I saw many birds on the course. I was standing about 2 feet away from a sandhill crane on the course while some other sandhill cranes were very close to me. The course is like many other courses in Florida. The course has much water, many sand traps, much wildlife, and minor elevation changes. I hit out of one sand trap. The bunker was good, not packed down too tightly and not too firm. Tom, who was working at the course, was nice and helpful, and another man, who was working at the course, was also nice. Other people on the course were also nice. I saw almost nobody on the course. Not too many people, which is good. Pace was great, but my cart was slow.. I was able to hit on a good driving range (aqua range) beforehand with grass, not mats. An interesting swing plane device was on the driving range, and it was in good condition. It was like a big PVC hoop on a tilt similar to a golf swing plane, and I could swing a golf club along the plane. The practice green was off limits, but I was able to practice putting and chipping on the 9th hole. I don't like that I couldn't book a tee time at the course online. I had to call first. 1 thumb down for not being able to book a tee time online, but 2 thumbs up to the course, which was great, and a thumb up to Tom for helping me.

A little bit hard, of course no rain then a hard land. But a nice course with a good challenge.

Good value for the money. But: Greens are far to fast for even good amateurs. Not fair.

It took little over 5 hours to play because of 2 members who thought they were on the senior tour who held up the entire course. They were playing the wrong tees, (all the way at the back) were never "golf ready". I know I played on a Holiday so it would be slower then normal but where there are open holes ahead of them (4 some pulling ways from them) something is wrong. The Ranger did nothing about it, even agreed with me they were slow, not golf ready, and were on the wrong tees. But brushed it off saying, "well they are members what can you do...."

** Course Review **

The course was challenging enough. You have to be smart with club selection off the tee because of the small landing area to hit too. Small firm greens, that were quick and ran true. Very nice to putt on.

There is plenty of water that does come into play on almost every hole.

The fairways were beautiful and the greens were super fast........ great course conditions.

The course is very tight with lots of water and I had only played the course once before four years ago so I discovered that a lot of shots I thought were great met a watery grave.

Loved the fairways and greens .

There was a lot of driving between holes and we found that hole one and ten were not clearly marked.

Tampa Bay GC is a very nice golf course. The course is in really good shape. Greens are fast but fair. Fairways are good, with lush grass and subtle undulations that make some shots challenging. Fairways are narrow and water plays into many shots. All in all a really nice golf course. I will play it the next time I'm in Florida.

We were part of a shotgun start so a little intimidating to find the 13th hole. Narrow fairways with a good amount of water and sand. Fairways & greens in pretty good shape, will take a few rounds to get a good idea of the right lines to take.
