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.

target golf on a really good course at a great price. What more could you ask for
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.
Water on every hole, excellent greens roll fast and true.
This course is very challenging. Makes you think what clubs to use.. just can't blast away. Water comes into play on every hole. course management is a must whether your playing from the tips or the senior tees. Greens are challenging and in excellent shape. My foursome loved the course and would recommend it to anyone who likes a challenge.
tight course, fast greens, a few quirky holes, good value
This is a tight course in the middle of homes. A few holes are really poor in design with not enough land to build a great course. On a number of holes you should put the driver away and choose a 3 wood or utility club. the greens are small and fast. Water in play on most holes with trees on the other side of the fairway. Tight course.
Great Layout
I have played this course many times in the past. My buddies and I quit playing it because of a number of factors. 1. The staff seemed as if they had no time for you. 2.Only nine holes open 3. Can't get you out for 45 min. 4. Cart path only (when not necessary) 5. Broke up a fivesome of old friends in from out of town even though there was no one else on course. (because a nosy resident complained)
Because of the great deal on Golf Now (even w/ the fees) we decided to give it another shot. Good move on our part. There was almost no one on the course, and we got right out and played at our own pace. The greens were in amazing shape. They rolled true and were pretty quick. If they were over seeded I couldn't tell. The fairways were green as well as the rough, and were cut beautifully. This course was in better shape than any course I have played in the last few months.
I do hate all the new houses. It makes the course play and look so differently. The scenery used to be a great draw.
Overall we made a great choice and will go back as long as the snow birds don't take over!!
WHAT A BEAUTIFUL COURSE
WHAT A BEAUTIFUL COURSE, WE REALLY ENJOYED OURSELVES, STARTED A NEW THANKSGIVING TRADITION IN MY FAMILY
Short with challenges
The course even if it is short (6200 from tips) has some challenging holes that call for shot making. On some holes you may be only hitting a five iron off the tee, but you better hit it right. There are two par fives up againest HWY 75, number 2 and number 17. Number 2 calls for a great tee shot, not much room for error. Where number 17 has a large landing area for your tee shot, but your second shot has to be precise. Go play the course it will make you use most of the clubs in your bag.
Course is in great shape.
Played on a windy day! This course is not the longest course around but with skinny fairways with water on almost every hole it was a nice challenge to stay in play. The greens are smaller but pretty receptive. Good day with the boys!
I've played this course for over 10 years and I've always walked away happy!
Excellent Course for your dollar and never has slow play!
This course is very well designed and beautiful
This course was awesome with a beautiful view of the community. A little too much water for non-professionals
Funnist & Craziest of all!
I played there with a Simi-Pro. He had 4 birds and shot a 77. Its like 100 yds..isnt 100 yards. Well, ya gotta be there to understand it. Or, Disunderstand it... If thats a word?
Great contition and staff.
Similar to The Monarch at Royal Highlands & Golf Hammock G&CC
2:00 Tee time w/ wife. Nice, fun course in subdivision setting. Very well maintained tee to green. Some holes are tight w/ houses in way of bad errant balls. Carts w/ windshield & rain cover in back. Will play again when in area.
