Tarpon Woods Golf Club

As residents my wife and I don't play so much Jan thru' April because of prices. However, at ~$25 this was great value. It's a nice layout, bunkers good, t boxes good, greens certainly playable but will be better in a few months, fairways a bit rough, but playable and will get better.
Good number of golfers playing, but moved along well.

Greens, tees and traps in very good condition. Fairways need a lot of work. Course needs to fix irrigation system

Played this course a few years ago and couldn't remember all of it ! So booked an afternoon tee time 1.30 ! We waited all the way round ! And finished in the dark after 6.00 ! The course is ok but they let far to many on

Love the wildlife, great restaurant and pro shop, favorite of mine

Played TWGC in the past and course needed attention. It appears it received quite a bit. Greens were in good shape and also the fairways.

Tough track but slow play hindered finding a groove

One of the Best in the area. Greens needed cutting because they were slow. Beautiful, quiet course!

This is the first time I've played here in a long time and it is much improved. Tee's and greens are in good shape. Fairways are good but a preferred lie is needed as some fairways have bald spots. Rough areas can be very rough but overall it is a very playable course. I always loved the layout and I would recommend giving this course another try if you have not played it in a while.

good value
greens little too slow
fairways could be more plush

I have lived on this course for 10 years now and watched it go down hill steadily. The Hampton Group bought it and now the greens are all putt-able, the tee boxes are much better, and the course is wonderful. This is the best value in Tampa now in my opinion and as long as the greens fees stay around 20 dollars, I think it should start to get a lot of play. The layout is super and beginners to experts will have fun on it. The range and practice facilities rival private courses and Beef's is here for food and drink. Thanks to Hampton group for saving this course.

Very long par 5's but challenging. Conditions were very good with!

I was happy to see all the greens looking good. the last time I played tarpon they were in terrible shape. I enjoy the course because it has a senic layout and is farily difficult. I hope they will be doing the fairways and tee boxes soon. Also please go back to electric carts. I will be back again.

Booked a foursome with a Hot Deal and I have to say the price was awesome! I spend a lot of time at Tarpon Woods because of the Beef O'Bradys there. We've had more than a few birthdays and events at that clubhouse, the atmosphere is fun!

Positives:
The layout and scenery are exceptional. Love the long par 5s, and the par 3s are extremely forgiving for the average player. If you've never been to a course around Brooker Creek, this is a great example of one, for the money. I can't believe how many fish are in those ponds!

Negatives:
Why, oh why, with the lawnmower/gas-powered carts??? Talk about ruining a pristine moment, when you're idling at the same noise-level as a Mustang 5.0. Tee boxes were grossly unmaintained. I couldn't find a clean patch on most holes to drive from. Sand traps looked more like mud holes, as in the guy who raked them did it with a bazooka.

I would *barely* recommend this course right now, and only because I've seen it in much, much better condition.

condition of course is very poor, mostly not taken care of, spotty grass, leaves all over the greens inconsistant tee makers

The course design is nice with a good variety of holes. A few fairways need some attention but the greens were very playable. The course is good value for the fees charged. The family of deer on # 10 was a nice bonus.

First time I played here but definitely not the last. Got a great deal through Golfnow.com and played the best game of my life!

Beautifull full course, Green excellent condition, staft cordial

Greens were decent. Most of the tee boxes were being repaired. some of the fairways were waterlogged. Don't play this course after a hard rain. But for the lower price of admission compared to other courses in the area, I think it's worth a visit.

It looks like they are still having to water the course to empty out the ponds due to the heavy rains a week or so ago. Not a real problem and there was no cart path only requirement.

Very wet conditions made it difficult to negotiate some holes however it was easy to attack the pins. Overall a great experience and lots of fun.
