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 course
Shape of course was nice, green ok some better than others, fairways excellent
lots of water but playable
course is in decent condition for this time of year. Enjoyed our round.
Fun Course
A nice executive course to start the golf season out for my wife and me. Had an opportunity to use irons and even my driver on a couple of holes. The price was right as I booked on Golf Now. Hope to play the 18 hole course before we leave at the end of March. Will play the executive course again.
great thinking course
Iv played this course last year I forgot how tough it was if you don't think you're way around ! Mostly around homes with water on almost every hole ! ! ! Great course definitely be back !
Very nice course
On January 5 2014,three friends and I played tampa bay golf course very pleasant to play,a little challenge but we had a lot of fun.Staff very friendly.I will recommend this course to all my friends.Thanks to Golf Now for your hotdeals.
Good for age group
This course seemed to be in a 55 plus community and the holes seemed fairly short. The greens were not fast, not slow and very inconsistent from green to green. The pace was slow, the course was very boring and after 5 holes we walked off. We like challenging courses and this was definitely not one of those. Lots of houses that come into play if you have errant tee shots.
Great course for Beginners
This course was great for practice on your irons, not good for putting. Maybe the 18 hole course is better because I only played on the 9 hole overall good price . I recommend they work on the putting area on the 9 hole course .
good value
When I play alone, I get the opportunity to work on certain aspects of my game...the course was nice and quiet and I enjoyed my round...
will play again
lots of water, few bunks, best to stay in fairway as any course, greens very fast and in great shape
ALWAYS A PLEASURE TO GOLF THIS COURSE
COURSE IS VERY CHALLENGING WITH LOTS OF WATER AND SAND. HAVE LOTS OF BALLS WITH YOU SO YOU DON'T RUN OUT. THEY HAVE BALLS AT GOOD PRICES CUZ YOU WILL NEED THEM!
Better shape this year than last
Have played this course since it opened. It is in good shape now and well worth the trip to play it. However, watch out for the Shotgun Starts which you may get booked into without knowing it. I would recommend calling the course ahead of time to see if you are buying a tee time which is included in the shotgun start. Luckily, there were not a lot of golfers in the shotgun start yesterday and it worked out pretty good. We made good time and had fun.
Good course. Short but in good shape
Good course for the money. Narrow fairways can be challenging.
Great value for the dollar
Very nicely maintained, greens were in great shape
Water, water everywhere...
Literally... on every hole. But it wasn't as intimidating as it may sound. Don't get me wrong, the greens were well protected. But it was a combination of water, sand and doglegs. I thought this was a very good course.
There were some areas around greens and tees that were spongy and wet, apparently from heavy watering, but it wasn't every hole or even most holes. No holes ran side by side, so you never had to worry about wayward shots.
I will play this course again (and very possibly the executive course as well)
NICE WELL MAINTAINED COURSE
SINCE I PLAYED ALONE, THE TIME FOR PLAYING IS PROBABLY NOT ACCURATE. VERY NICE CHALLENGING COURSE
Great Greens, fast and smooth Very nice course
We arrived early for our 7:20ish tee time on a Saturday..While still dark we could see enough to put on the Practice putting green, which was fast even with dew still on the ground. Pro shop guy was very nice, all the other resident golfers with their own carts were super friendly and very helpful to us, since it was our first time at this course. Conditions were superb. From tee to green everything was great, only a few soggy spots due to so much rain this season. A very tight and Challenging course, fairways are very narrow and the greens are smaller than most courses, water on every hole and most has multiple lakes and ponds to navigate around. A true shot makers course. Greens rolled fast,smooth and true..We were allowed to play through on the 4th hole and never saw another group until 18. Finished in under 3 hours. Overall a fantastic experience. I cant wait to go back and conquer all the tight landing areas..Will take a few rounds to learn where you have to land the ball, shot after shot to score well...A great find!!
Not a long course, but accuracy is required to score well.
Due to aerating and wet conditions (cart path only), this course was not in excellent condition. But certainly playable and will improve as I've played this course before.
Length is not a necessity but accuracy is needed. Big hitters may find it better to use the 3 wood rather than the driver if you've not played the course before....easy to hit through several fairways from the tee.
Lots of water and wet lands....pay attention to the hole descriptions. A few holes where houses are reachable with an errant drive.
Greens are not enormous adding to accuracy needs.
Short and Challenging
A short but demanding course... a straight shot from the tee to green is essential to score well on this course. Water comes into play on 17 of the 18 holes. Course is very well maintained. Friendly staff and nice restaurant and bar. However, there are too many houses that are much too close to the course. Very few trees exist between houses and course. If one looks away from the fairway, it is easy to forget that you are on a golf course.
very good course, would recomend too anyone.
well maintained golf course, very challenging, and fun too play.
