Tarpon Woods Golf Club

The area has had a lot of rain recently. This made the maintenance of the fairways and greens difficult or just not done. The rough was deep, as was the fairways. The greens needed cutting and cleaning. I understand, this is a result of the weather, so this course should be a pleasure to play when the staff resumes the daily maintenance.

The setup and layout of the course make each hole different from the last and next so it provides an array of shots and clubs to be played and is great, whether an amateur or scratch golfer. Very scenic: saw several deer, wild turkeys, and a gator while playing so you feel in touch with the Florida landscape. Will definitely return :)

Tie boxes need grass replaced. Some of the fairways require resoding.

I know that it has been raining a lot recently, but the course was not in good shape. It was difficult to almost discern the rough from the fairway. While a little joking there, the fairway was not smooth and was what i would consider fringe on most other golf courses.

You were certainly not rewarded for hitting the fairway!

Course was in great shap considring all the rain we have had lately. On of the few course that was not cart path only. My only negetative was slow play of foursome infront of us. But a great day sunny all day and was allowed to complete round.

The course has improved by 60 percent from the last time I played there. 40 days between the times I played. Great Job done by care takers. We will be back with friends. Guy

The greens are so slow you might as well pick up and take a three putt. The rough and areas right off the cart path are not taken care of. I am a 15 handicap and I dont usually loose many balls. I must have lost 6 balls and they were only a few feet from the cart path. All though I did find at least 8 balls. Anyway for the price go play somewhere like Cresent Oaks or Dunedin.

I really enjoy playing at Tarpon Woods but on this occasion the greens were super slow, which is usually not the case. Also the outlying areas of the course could have used some trimming.
But I will still play this course but before booking I will check on green conditions.

Golf was very enjoyable at this course. Great nature, and certain challenges throughout. Appears they are working hard to get the course in better shape since under new ownership. General mgr was pleasant and very friendly. I would absolutely return. Facility was clean. not crowded, and a great restaurant for after golf

The course is under new ownership and they are working on the greens. The staff was friendly and helpful. Fee includes cart.

With plenty of rain and seeding this summer, it should be ready by fall.

The course has good layout but conditions are TERRIBLE. Tees have virtually no grass on them and many fairways are basically sand with a thin layer of crabgrass on top. The day I played the greens were aerified and very bumpy but there was no warning of that fact online. Management needs to spend money on overseeding otherwise the course will burn out over the summer and turn into dirt everywhere, which would be a shame.

Uncrowded, friendly staff. Recent aeration made the greens a little bumpy, but that should improve quickly.

Having just wanted to work on my t-shots and approach shots this course was fine. The greens are spotty and recently punched. The rough is really rough and there are many places where instead of grass there is sand. It appears they working on the course to improve it. It does have a nice layout and at one time was much better. New management has taken over since the last time I played it. I was able to book this round cheap through Golf Now. It was about the same price as a bucket or two of balls and you get to hit all the shots and putt so it was worth it. Again, I wouldn't want to try to play a competitive round out here.

Brought some friends in from out of town for a Friday evening round before a weekend of golf.
The price was right, $15 for an afternoon. The staff in the pro shop and bar were very friendly.
The course itself was just poorly maintained. The tee boxes are uneven and unmowed. The turf on the fairways had substantial weeds.
The greens were being aerated. Would have been nice to know before we teed off. Overall, the greens were borderline unplayable. They were bumpy, sandy, unevenly mowed, and there were many spots in ill-repair.

If you just want to get an uncompetitive round in for $15, sure. If you going to play some golf, i wouldn't recommend it.

Bad course and certainly not worth the green fees. Plus they had just pinched and didn't bother to inform of the very poor greens condition.

I've played Tarpon Woods many times and its a good course for the money. Greens are in need of attention on a few holes but its a wide open course that plays well to intermediate players.

The price was great, with beautiful wild-life. But the course needs some attention on fairways, and putting greens.

Tarpon Woods is an excellent value. The course offers some scenic beauty and abundant wildlife. One cannot beat the costumer service. It is challenging enough but not so difficult as to frustrate the average golfer. Some of the greens had some rough spots to them but that is common this time of the year when the rye is dying off. I enjoyed my outing there.

Course has great potential. Needs greens work, ball cleaners did not have water. No drinking water on the course and no mobile snack/refreshment services.
