Tampa Bay Golf & Country Club

LOVE this course. A friend said to play it and I finally did. Not that long BUT a good amount of trouble, esp. to the left of most holes. Played with a nice guy from Lakeland. We blew thru 18 in no time. Greens were pretty slick. I liked the clubhouse staff AND the bar staff. Good folks!

I've played this course about a dozen times over the years and find it to be challenging and always in good shape. The greens roll true and there are several holes that you have to think your way around. It can play fairly long depending on you tee selection. Overall it's in a great location for me right off the interstate, the price is right and I definitely plan on playing here more in the future.

May be a short course, but you have to play smart or your in the water, or woods. Greens were excellent and fast. Got a great price, would play again.

This is now one of my three favorite golf courses. Taking up this game at 57 years old, and I am now 59, I hate courses that are over 6000 yards from the white tees, no matter how many target holes there are. I loved it and will make it at the very least, a monthly stop for me and my friends. Breaking 90 was never so much fun.

Left the "big dog" in the bag on all but about four tees. The course is not long, so lots of layups off the tees. If you enjoy target golf you might like the layout, but if you like to hit the driver you may want to take a pass. The par 5 number 17, I hit driver, wedge, 6 iron (not kidding). The staff was very friendly, the course was in decent shape. We played in the afternoon on a weekday, so pace of play was not an issue. Last warning, if you hit it crooked bring lots of balls!

green run at 9+ in great condition, driving range suppy balls

Overall the course was in good shape. The greens needed to be rolled. they were a little bumpy and pushed the ball off line.

Amenities are very nice, location is convenient and it is a pleasant experience.

This is a really fun course. Very tight fairways and yes a whole lot of water. I think that there is water on every whole. A lot of roll out on the fairways and fast greens. This course will either make you feel like Tiger Woods or the worst player on earth. All kinds of wildlife including several gators. Very pretty and a lot of fun. Give it a try. I did and it was a blast. Thank you to the staff for being so friendly, that is becoming a rarity these days.

Fun course and great to test accuracy. You must plan each hole from the tee as many fairways rub off into water that you can't see from the tee deck.

We played on a very cold and windy Saturday afternoon. There were few people on the course so we got around in 3 and 1/2 hours. The course played longer than normal because of the 20 plus mph winds. It is narrow with very good but small greens. I enjoyed the course very much and will go back, the staff was nice, especially in the restaurant. I recommend the course.

When I saw 4 out of 5 stars for a "championship course," I expected much more for the money. How it's a "championship course" is questionable, unless one say's, "But there is a club championship." It wasn't hard to imagine that the developer and/or home owner's association may be giving financial incentives for local home owners and their friends to give 4 or 5 stars to this course. Yes, there is water that comes into play on almost all of the holes, but if you hit short and straight, there's isn't much a challenge. The yardage is short. There were mixes of grass on many of the greens. Frankly, we could have spent the same amount of money playing at a course closer to home that has more yardage and a more challenging design.

Its one of the best course around tampa. nice green beautiful fairway.the bonkers could use some worked.the rest of the course is in great shaped.

The course is quite narrow with water coming into play on nearly every hole. This was the first time I played the course and I hit several shots that I thought were perfect only to find I ended up in a hazzard. I will try it again, but this course is more suited for the short and straight golfer.

Knowing that water is eveywhere does not protect you. The fairways are hard and slope to water. they shave the banks
around the water. I played the course 3 Sundays in a row. The pin placement was the same. they do not have rangers.
The counter staff needs training.

Arrived and went to pro shop, loaded our clubs, with no more than 10 words exchanged. We were handed a course guide and wished Good Luck. Front 9 went well, back 9 was super slow. Played on Super Bowl Sunday and never saw a ranger or service cart. Not a negative but extremely unattentive. Golf experience was good but could have been excellent with more human interaction.

would not honor golf now tee time// made us wait// very slow play.

Challenging course in the fact that you must hit straight out of the tee box on most holes. What appeared to be great shots found their way off the fairway due to the fact that most fairways are crowned in the middle with short grass down into the hazards. And there ARE hazards...Lots of red stakes.
The greens were very fast but consistent.
Lots of tight lies but overall if you can keep it i play you should enjoy this course.
I played a 1:00p.m. shotgun start and by the time we reached our 9th. hole it seemed like we had the course to ourselves.
Pace of play was good with our group coming in at just short of 4 hours.

Almost every hole with Ponds. Very fast greens. Fair couse. Players average age: seniors. Expect slow moves

fast greens, well maintained, challenging. Easy to find. Hit it where you are aiming....or bring plenty of balls. Best value in a course I have found in ages. Take care to follow the signs through the houses.
