Summerfield Crossings Golf Club

Would have been better etiquette to have a notice on golf now the greens had been aerated vs finding out when walked onto practice green before teeting off.

Registered as a single on a Sunday.

Only the golfers were glad to be there. There were no welcoming greetings for me from anyone - pro shop desk, cart staff, or the starter.

Arrived to discover, from the starter, that my tee time was changed from 2:22 BACK to 2:07. All my docs stated 2:22 pm. Luckily, I was on time/early - 1:52. But that rushed my set up. I managed to start at 2:08 and the other 3 golfers in the group were nowhere in sight.

Sure, a course has a right to move golfers around BUT backward movement is problematic from ANY perspective.

The actual golf course was nice. Other golfers were okay. It was a decent day of golf. I was able to easily keep up with the 3/2 golfers in front of me.

The course is challenging, but fair. The greens rolled fast. Great value for the price. Friendly staff, would recommend.

Arrived early, 1:42, to discover that my 2:22 tee time had been moved to 2:07.

Pro shop staff didn't mention it but starter/golf cart crew did. So far not a single cordial greeting is made in my direction. Now I am rushed to get set up. I get to hole 1 at 2:04 and the 2 pm group of 3 is still there. At 2:07 I am the only golfer present, the other 3 are late. At 2:08 I start alone bc I don't want to be blamed for an entire course delay. That's great bc locals don't seem to like to add 1 to their group & esp. not a woman golfer. At the first 3 par, I see the late 2:07 golfers. Whatever. Course was okay, visually interesting, with good golf carts.

Snak cart worker was less than thrilled, drove thru while I was swinging, served dirty ice, only friendly once when I flagged her down for service.Yes, I tipped too.

So, no one on staff cared that I was there, didn't need me to return, and it doesn't matter to them if I comment on the low staff morale.

Golfnow changed their price from $40 to $50 Feb 1 and haven't reduced them. Call the course and don't book on Golfnow as you will receive alot better price and better tee time

Easy layout out, shorter holes. Every hole was a straight forward approach. Got stuck behind slow group as a two-some. Looks like the course is being turned around. Brand new driving range and chipping area. I drive from downtown Tampa, I’ll be making the drive more often for the price and practice area.

The poor rating for this course is based primarily on experiencing how overbooked they were when we played and the slow pace of play. First, our booked tee time of 10:52 was unilaterally changed by the course to 11:00. Yet, we still didn't tee off until 11:20 due to the backlog of groups on number 1. It then took 2:45 to play the front nine and fortunately enough groups in front of us decided to quit so we played the back in 2:10.

There was never a ranger that we saw, but the cart girl was pleasant and efficient and the service at the bar after was exceptional.

Horrible management, however, to have allowed the overbooking.

I have played here quite a few times since they made improvements. I still believe this is the best public course in the area for your money. Pace of play today was perfect, nobody holding us up in front and nobody on our tails behind. The greens have been in fantastic shape throughout the busy season. Challenging layout on the front with some tight fairways but overall very fair. Great driving range and practice facility.

Don't understand how you have a 18 minute back on 1st tee at 8am but we had a good pace (4.5 hours) after we got started. Greens were hard but really smooth. Will certainly be back!

The course will send out 20 groups at once and you will wait 15-20min at every tee box. Played here 3 times in the last 3 weeks and haven’t finished a round in under 6 hours. Save your money and go to a course that cares about their golfers. Might be in solid condition but what‘s the point.

Really unfortunate because the course is pretty good and challenging but the pace of play is one of the worst I’ve seen. Second time in a row where the round has been 5.5+ hours. Save your money unless you don’t mind waiting around 10 minutes each shot
