Tarpon Woods Golf Club

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.

We were disappointed at the condition of the fairways and greens. Since we only paid $19 per person we did not feel too bad. Green conditions cost us more putts then normal. Looks like they are trying to get some of the greens in shape yet they need to water badly! Playing the fairway was quite often like playing in the rough. The course is beautifully laid out and if the course was in an improved condition this would be a wonderful course to play. The course condition is sad; we heard after the fact this was once a really well maintained course. Looking forward to the day the course condition improves.

I found this place about a year ago when they changed the name and possibly ownership. At that point the course was in decent shape and a great value for the cost. Since then, each time I've been back they say the greens are being worked on and the conditions are their priority. Yet each time it got worse. Yesterday the place hit rock bottom. The fairway is littered with dry, dead areas and hard-pan, the tee boxes are mangled with little to no grass to hit from and the greens...My God. That's the worst part. They were baren and dry, so fast but that was not because of good conditions. It was dry and baren in mnay places with the dirt and other dry areas painted green to look lole grass. MOst greens we played two putt max b/c of the conditions. The surface held nothing. It was like playing in a parking lot. I won't be back for a while if ever. Take my advice, unles the fees are $8 it's a rip off. Don't bother with this place. This was the last time for me until I know there have been SERIOUS improvements or the cost is under $10. .

The tees, fairways and green need a great amount of attention.
If the course were in better shape I would have continued the back nine in spite of the windy conditions. We left after nine holes.
