Tarpon Woods Golf Club

I used to play there many years ago. But, the condition went from bad to worse. I heard that LPGA player, Jan Stephenson recently took over so I gave it a try. I cannot believe how good the course is now. They also cater to disabled veterans and first responders and they are recognized by the Military Order of The Purple Heart for Veterans programs. I highly recommend that you give it another try. All I can say is WOW!

Played at 11am. The fairways are in good shape with plenty of grass. Some fairways need to be cut and are a little long. Most of the greens are in good shape. There are a couple of greens with some dead patches of grass. Greens are thick and a little slow. Overall this course is a fun little course it's in good condition. Staff is very friendly.

The course, especially the greens are in need of serious TLC. The staff is very friendly. The Beef O Brady's was nice. I didn't feel rushed while I played. Great course for beginners or playing on a budget.

I used to play here frequently but this was the first time I had in probably 4-5 years. The conditions were boarderline atrocious. Even the guys working there knew it. I guess it's been like this for some time.

Apparently, however, Jan Stephenson recently took ownership, so hopefully she cleans it up and gets it back to where it was.

Still such a friendly staff. The club pro, Matt Côte is a great guy and extremely helpful. The hospitality almost makes up for the conditions. ALMOST.

Beautiful scenery, and layout. The fairway is just simply non-existent. You're either hitting out of mud or sand on every shot after you tee off. They're better off just shutting the place down for 3 months to renovate. Back in the day, this place was one of the nicer courses in the area.

Sandy, rough tee boxes. Dry, hard, lotsa bare areas in fairways and lots of debris. Greens are the worst I've seen. Dry, hard, burnt, little grass on most greens. $44 was way too much. Should have been $15. I was told new management as of Apr. 1. Hope they can repair and maintain this course. I won't be back until I read a lot of favourable reviews.

in 60 years of golfing, this takes the cake, mold has killed over 90% of the greens, no grass on fairways, course is beyond repairable, new management will have their hands full trying to bring this course back. management was unsypathetic to anyones complaints.

worst course ever, cart girl on phone, passed us 3 times !! quit after 7 holes, no refund!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! went over to lands brooke

Tarpon woods has the worst conditions of any course in the Tampa region.

That fraiways look as plush as a mexican hairless dog with really bad mange.

The entire fairway on every hole should be marked as ground under repair.

I went to a small college in the area and the golf team was able to play this course for free whenever we wanted. I would not recommend this course to anyone. The course itself is always in poor shape. The facilities are not great, it feels old and rundown. I was blown away at how much they are charging per round when I looked at prices. I never really had a slow round here because the prices were outrageous. The conditions of the course were always poor. Only thing good here is Beef O Brady's. Overall, stay away from this place.

Been a while since we played this course, and it'll be the last. Pace of play was really slow, tee boxes were in terrible shape, no grass, fairways have many bare patches, greens less than reasonable. Such a disappointment, even the homes around the course seem to be less cared for. No starter, no ranger, carts driving on par 3's and almost on greens, no control.

First time played & very disappointed, was playing by myself, 4some on 2nd hole just look at me as I waited to tee off, then drove off & never let me play through. After 7 holes I finally skipped a hole to get around them. Then on back 9, got behind 4some of women who had 3 groups backed up & refused to let anyone play trough. Not once did I see a ranger on course.

My first and last time I'll play this course, Fairways were rediculous, as they were practically bare and free of any grass. Save your money!

It is obvious that recent reviews posted here stating that the course is in good shape have been written by course staff. There wasn't a single fairway that was in decent condition. All kinds of different wild grasses growing in patches and a lot of bare sandy areas. I have to admit, the greens were in very good shape, but totally forgotten because you had to play through this goat patch to get there. Never playing here again!

Its been over a year since I've played here I used to tell everyone avoid avoid avoid. Well I'm happy to say this is no longer true. Its not perfect yet but the work they have put in is obvious. The greens still have a few bad spots but ten times better then they were and you can see that they are continuing to work on them. There is no longer debris and grass clippings every where. The tee boxes are still a little bare but you can see the overseeding starting to take hold. Overall greatly improved well worth the price.if you haven't been in a while give it another chance you will be pleasantly surprised.

The course conditions were better than I've seen in the past. Only a couple greens were rough, a few fairways rough. We played in 3 hours, enjoyed the layout, and felt it was a good value for the weekend warrior.

The course was in poor maintenance. The fairways were full of weeds, there were numerous torn up areas and spots without any grass at all. The greens were also full of weeds in places and we had to continuously wipe our golf balls clean from the grass shavings left from mowing. The tee boxes were generally poorly maintained and looked more like a pasture than a golf tee box.

Tarpon Woods was a decent municipal course feel. Good value for the money spent. Not one I would go out of my way to play though.
