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.

Watch for 17
Every time that hole stops a good game but that is fine. Glad it is well marked where to travel on street to next hole.
Course was in good shape
Greens were very fast. Most greens seemed to be fairly true. Traps and rough were well maintained. Over all condition was excellent and a treat to play.
De l'eau et encore de l'eau.
Terrain A1, verts rapides mais réceptifs, allées et bordures (rough) en excellente condition. Excellent test de précision, mieux vaut opter pour le positionnement et bien calculer les coups plus risques. Doit être tres difficile à jouer lorsqu'il vente, ce qui n'était pas le cas lors de ma partie. A rejouer!
Tampa Bay 18 Holes
Challenging course with fast greens. Straight shooters will have an easier time and should par many holes. Price is reasonable and after 2 PM, course is near empty.
POOR GREENS
CONDITION OF THE GREEN WAS TERRIBLE. LOTS OF WATER. NOT MUCH TREE TROUBLE AND MOGULS ON SIDES OF FAIRWAYS.
A revisit after eight years
A demanding course requiring carefully placed
tee shots to avoid ubiquitous water hazards along and across fairways,while rows of housing or woods
line the opposite side. Important advise to any golfer
thinking about this course. It is very susceptible to
storm water from a day or so earlier. After a few dry
days the course should be well worth it.
WATER WORLD
SHORT COURSE BUT LOTTSA WATER ON THIS COURSE SO YOU BETTER HIT EM STRAIGHT OR BRINGS LOTTSA BALLS.
Challenging Course!
I love coming to this course to play. Hitting a straight ball is a necessity to score well on this course. There is water on almost every hole and some very tight fairways. Every hole has something challenging and interesting. Definitely not a boring course to play.
Great course
Awesome course. Fairways are open. Not many houses in the way except a few par 3's. Full practice range available. Doesn't get much better except for when it's a hot deal
A course you should play
This is the second time we played this course. It is an awesome course with water in play at most holes. Course management is a must. Enjoyed playing the first 4 holes then we caught up to a member foursome so we waited at each hole. We passed them at the 10 as they went in to the clubhouse, before we teed off they returned and demanded their position again, so we waited at every hole again, this pretty well ruined the entire day.
Still, I would recommend this course.
If you live outside this community you won't like it
This is an "In a community" golf course parallel to a major highway which is very distracting. Add traveling on the roads of the community, and houses flanking the fairways and we certainly didn't feel like it was a typical golf course experience we adore.
Saturday's the kitchen closes at 3:00 pm....what?
Lots of water
The golf course was in good shape would play again.
Good layout
Got a great deal with GolfNow.
The course was near empty, probably due to the holidays. The course condition was un kept, leaves, debris on greens and bunkers in poor conditions.
Seems everyone plays the executive course and not the regular course.
Glad I did not pay full price.
That's my opinion!

Easy but enjoyable
Played the 18-hole course. Very good value for the $14 green fee thru GolfNow. Shot values are adequate; only a couple of challenging approach shots on par 4s from the fairway.
Course conditions are excellent. Greens are smooth and roll fast but putts tend to break a little more than the slopes appear to show. Grain is a non-factor.
Always in good condition
This course is a little on the short side but is always in excellent condition. It is placed in a community and many of the holes are too near the community homes. A good value for the dollar especially on golfnow.
Excellent Course
There were 3 golfers in my party and we all had a great time!
Good round good place. Great price.
Always a fun and challenging place to play. Greens were fantastic.
Course is narrow in some areas so can be a little challenging. But no lnock on th course. Just my abilities.
Tight and Boring
I have been golfing in the Tampa Bay Area for over 30 years and played TBGCC for the first time recently. The course was in good shape, however, the course layout seemed like it was a after thought. Going from hole to hole is mostly by driving on streets which really kills the serenity of the game. The cart paths are fair at best. This course was planted in a retirement community and is well placed. If you are an above average golfer you will not enjoy your time on this course. This course was meant for the high handicapper.
I would never golfing on this course again.........even if it was free.
Nice Sunday Afternoon
Course in fair condition, only group on course, staff extremely friendly.
Great place
