Tarpon Woods Golf Club

Tarpon Woods is a great course. It forces you to shape shots but not "gimicky". The challenges were logical and it was a beautiful course. I saw a wild turkey, 2 deer, 2 gators, and a variety of birds. I WILL BE BACK!!!!

Prices go up beginning in November. For the $20 we pair per golfer, nice golf value. Greens are good, fairways could use more grass overall. Front 9 more difficult the back 9.

This is the second time I have played the course in 2 years and this course is great value. Nothing very difficult about the course. Playing from the tips gives it a bit of a challenge. Course is in okay conditions. Needs attention, but they seem to be trying. But value wise on a Saturday afternoon you cann't beat it. Consider this a local course with local feel to it.

The fairways were hard and dry, roughs were covered with tree roots, and tree debree,greens spotty with bare spots.

There was no Ranger to keep up pace of play.Poor shape on fairways. Not well marked for yardages or no GPS on carts.

Tarpon Woods, AKA Brooker Creek, Lost Woods of Innisbrook, has historically been poorly maintained. Hampton Golf took over management around the first of 2012 and, after hitting an all-time low around June (the greens were moonscapes), the course is in better shape than I've seen it (I've played it a number of times since 1997). Two greens do have sizable ares (6'x6') areas that haven't completely grown in, but the others have only 2 or 3 very small patches that are recovering. The greens were a bit slow but now roll nicely. Fairways are in good shape, tee boxes are a little rugged but playable and the bunkers are decent and relatively consistent. Hopefully, Hampton will keep working on it. It's a fun layout and has some tight driving holes.

Ok, but in fairness, the course REALLY needs a lot of work but as long as the rates remain low on GolfNow.

Very inexpensive for Florida this time of year. Not very crowded so pace of play was very good. 1st green was in rough shape but most of the others were good. Some weeds but still rolled fairly well. Good layout for skilled as well as begineers. Great staff and Beef's restaurant on site which is definitely a plus for the 19th hole.

This could be a quality course worthy of good golfers if it were maintained. The greens need attention and the fairways are nearly barren in many places. I saw only two tee boxes that had been given any recent attention.

the fairways could use some seeding and watering. The tees are fine and the greens are fast.
It is a good course for a recreational golfer with its good value.

We had a REALLY slow round and found the staff to be less than friendly---"DON'T PARK THAT CART THERE---TAKE IT AROUND THE SIDE"---But I scored a hole in one on #8 and the world was a happy place. We intend to play there again (price was good) before returning to Canada.

We were a group of 4 but the course let singles a twosomes out behind us. This caused us to let groups play through and added to our time. Other than that we had a good time both on the course and at the bar after!

Had a great day. Friendly accomodating staff. Good value for the money.

The course still needs attention. It is better than it was last year, there are marked improvements. It shows they ARE trying. Worth playing if in the area.

nice to see a few gators swimming in the ponds, the course was great,

arrived 1hr early....for practice....staff was nice....we just went thru daylight savings so 12:44pm and being backup behind a 3some hitting more than 2 balls from the the narrow black tee's took its toll on my back freezing up......my fault ..but after a 3 1/2 hr 9hole play i realized if i stayed i would be playing in the dark....not worth it and the 45minute drive home...............ill be looking for earlier tee times from now on....... and sand for the divits before i go. oh and check to see if it is quiet electric carts

I am from upstate NY,have played this course many times when I am in Flordia,great local course,good staff and great price,well worth the trip.

Very comfortable and scenic, couple of greens on the rough side, but a good value for the money.

The course condition keeps getting better. The greens are looking good now.
