About
Named after the creek that borders it, Tarpon Woods Golf Club is home to an abundance of wildlife including deer, alligators, turkeys, coyotes, and otters. The layout is not the Tampa Bay area's most challenging but it is one of the most scenic. Formerly Brooker Creek Golf Club, the club changed management and made several improvements to the bunkers, tee boxes, and greens in 2009. It has been a local favorite for more than 30 years. Overall the golf course is not particularly long but the front nine plays longer than the back. Each nine offers a unique set of challenges. The third hole is the longest and toughest with water that runs down the left side. There is also water on both sides of the approach to the green.

Worse course I've ever played.
Played this course last weekend while in town with some family. When I made the tee times I was advised that the greens were in the best shape they have ever been. Not only were the greens in bad shape but the course had some of the worse fairways I've ever seen. Tee boxes for the most part were sand boxes. It has a nice layout but needs alot of work just to get it in playing condition. Payed $30.00 dollars at one in the afternoon, not worth the money or the time.
This course needs attention.
We had just played there a few weeks ago and it was in excellent condition. I don't know what happened in those few weeks but the course was awful. Tee boxes-terrible. Fairways-terrible. Rough- terrible. Greens- terrible. In addition, trees had just been trimmed throughout the course and left on the sides of the fairways. For $40, no way.
Needs attention
greens, tee boxes and fairways in bad shape. Course layout good and price was right but very disappointed that the course is not taken better care of.
I like the course, but the greens need more time to be acceptable
They are working on the greens, but for the moment putting is very difficult.
A GOOD COURSE, IN POOR CONDITION
This golf course has a great layout but it has been allowed to deteriorate over the past few years due to ownership and name changes. It needs immediate attention to the fairways and particularly the greens which are sand covered in places and unplayable.
The day I played there were branches from trimmed trees lining the fairways that had obviously been there for days and there was no attempt being made to pick them up.
Good course, poor conditions.
The field of play needs attention in all aspects...from tee, thru fairways, bunkers and esp. greens. Very spotty, but many areas of soil where there should be grasses. But a good layout and enjoyable. Perhaps with more water the grasses will be in better shape....rather than Feb. funk.
Good range with bunker and putting green. Good club pro.
No recommendation here!
The greens were in bad shape with bare spots and areas that had been repaired with plugs. They had trimmed the trees and the excess was all around the fairways and greens. The cost to play was good but not for the shape of the course. I had played here years ago, it has seen better days.
poor
the starter never showed the pace was extremly slow, the trees that were being trimed branches were left laying around all over the place. the greens were in rough shape,the t boxs were incorectly marked for distances
Greens and fairways need some attention
Over all this course is average with bare spots on most fairways and greens. Nothing like bombing a drive 270 down the middle and having to play off a sandy bare spot. Course is a little tight which presents a little challenge.
This course is in bad shape.
Many of the greens are in poor to very bad condition.
Some of them it was like putting on dirt. if not tended
to very soon, the greens will be dead by mid-summer.
Disappointing greens
The course was nice and very challenging , the greens are the wurst I've played all year. Very disappointing .
Very challenging on a very windy day. A good course at a good price.
Very tight lies everywhere. Greens are not great, quite sandy and grass is sparse in many places. Took 4 1/2 hrs. A very demanding course for accuracy especially on a day of 2 and at times 3 club winds. It was fun though once you have finished and think about it.
course is in need of grass, both greens & fairways
The golf course has a very nice setting, and layout.
It is in dire need of grass , very dry. It may be the time of year, or just not enough effort , or money to get the course were it needs to be. It has a lot of potential, just needs work!
Painfully slow
One really slow foursome a couple of groups ahead provided around over 5 hours. Never saw a ranger all day.
Good course.
Good course for the money. Nice layout. Greens need some work especially the cups. Friendly pro shop. Great resturant on site.
The course is beginner friendly
The course and greens have improved since we last played in Nov.2012..
Great course for Medium to High Handicap players.
the course is getting better
shot one of my best games with a father son twoson my wife and i had a great time. keep up the good work.
Good value for the money
Fairways not super plush but course is a good challenge. Distances on markers at T boxes are not very accurate and need some updating Ex. Par 3 says 146 from whites but it is actually 200 yards. Most greens a bit slow and some have rough and bare patches. Staff is very helpful and accommodating.
