Tampa Bay Golf & Country Club

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.

I had never golfed her before, so I wasn't sure what to expect. It exceeded my expectations. However, it was a very difficult course. Water on just about every hole. Had to rush because of summer time rains. I will play it again.

Thus is a very good course, a good test for the average golfer. The staff was excellent, value - course layout was good, amenities was average since they are going through a major renovation which will be outstanding when completed in December.

My two concerns were the pace of play & the course conditions. I was behind a foursome & threesome that took 2-3 practice swings before hitting & lined up every putt from every angle as if they were at the Masters...come on people. It took 2.5 hrs to play the front 9, thank goodness these 7 hackers went to the clubhouse & I was able to get them behind me.

The course condition DOES NOT reflect on the staff & management but to the those of previous players (I use that term lightly) of the course. On every hole I was filling in divots on the tee boxes & fairways that hackers couldn't or wouldn't take the time to fill. On the greens I fixed a number of ball marks that were either overlooked or just ignored...For those of us that respect the game & the rules, it makes us mad when we have to fix the results of hackers that don't care how they leave the course. For this, remember what was taught to us that do play the game "Leave the course in the same or better condition than you found it"!!!

Pricing on everyday Hot Deals makes the extra drive worth it. Course is always in good shape including the greens and the Staff are effecient and friendly. We played the Blue Tees and though still under 6,000 yds, there is still plenty of water and challenge for everyone. Will return.

Everything was good-challenging for our first time round.Hit straight here or water beckons

Greens were really good and generally all well maontained.Great value and returning Monday

Challenging. Course management paramount. Great layout. Clubhouse and pro shop under construction and renovation. Golfnow hotdeal is a steal.

I have a handicapped sticker, which allows me to be 30 ft from the green. I was never given a flag--they didn't have one, so the rangers were all over us at every hole, rude, nasty people. Golfers behind us called the clubhouse many times on us--also screaming at me being 30 ft. The par 3 was too far for me to walk-so, if you are like me--BEWARE of this place. This place is ran by mean people, starting from the front desk. Anyone who has walking issues should stay away from this course, for they will be on you like the FBI security team. Hate the place, the mgmnt.

This certainly isn't the longest course around, but it is very challenging. Many holes are very tight with lots of water. Rough is thick also so you need to be accurate.

Course is in really great condition. Tre boxes are immaculate, fairways are plush and rough is deep and thick.

We didn't see anyone on the entire round and played in under 3 hours. Found a hot deal for $10 per person. Best deal around for sure.

I think this course is underrated. The USGA needs to rate this course again. Water on every hole makes hitting straight shots imperative.

Great golf course. Very well designed. Need to be very accurate, lots of water, sand traps protecting many greens.

Putting was very difficult, my partner shot an 81 thanks to his off the tee distance and his accurate second shots but neither of us one putted a single hole and he had 3 or 4 puts miss by an inch or less.

I'm in decent shape but the 11AM tee time was a bad idea. This course has virtually no shade and by 12:30 I was gassed. The heat index had to be up at 115 degrees in the sun.

Next time I play here, for sure will be early or late in the day.

Had a great time first 9 holes, back 9 was a struggle as course got harder and harder and sun got stronger and stronger.

This course belies it's slope rating. Water can come into play everywhere unless you can maneuver around. Spraying the ball will be quickly penalized. Greens are fair and true. Suggest playing when you're bored with wide open layouts. Will definitely return

this course is in great shape.many holes require placement off the tee box . although many holes have water you don't have to play in it. the greens were a little slow , but very consistent. the pro shop is fine and you can easily spend some time in the clubhouse. .can't wait to play again

Unfortunately we only were able to play 7 holes due to the weather but enjoyed the course. The course is not long but has water on almost every hole. I have played this course before and it is one of my favorite courses.

We dined and played 18. Everything was excellent.

Course conditions were excellent. The only issue I had was a lot of groups of two on the course for a Sunday at 1300
