Rating 73.0

Located just north of Tampa in Tarpon Springs, Crescent Oaks Country Club sprawls across rolling hills dotted with sparkling lakes. The narrow course has a traditional layout that was carefully carved from dense woodlands, making it a challenging test. The lakes as well as a meandering creek come into play throughout the golf course. There are also a few strategically placed bunkers along the greensides. The par-5 10th is one of the most memorable holes with an elevated green and a ridge cutting across the middle. Par is considered a good score on this tricky hole. The golf course finishes with a par-4 dogleg left that features water along the entire left side of the fairway. The green is also protected by sand on the right and water on the opposite side.

Punched Greens, No Communication????

Overall Crescent Oaks Country Club is a nice course, but was very surprised and unhappy that we weren't told by the club house or even the ranger that the greens were recently punched. We didn't realize this till we got to the first green, well 10th as everyone was starting from the back 9.

Aerated on Tuesday 5/21- Not disclosed at booking

Played here many times, and the course is a fine one.

However, was told upon paying (not on Teeoff when reserving), that the greens "are ok for having been aerated on Tuesday 5/21/24." Then, the starter said he had played yesterday and "automatic 2-putts" on greens. Many of the greens had the holes without sand. When I asked if they had disclosed aeration on GolfNow/Teeoff, the pro shop employee said, "I don't know." Well I do, they did not disclose this, and they should've so consumers have a choice. Disappointing.

Players were moving well

One of the issues in golf etiquette is that larger foursomes often don't understand that part of golf is moving and playing efficiently.

As a single player sometimes I am playing fast golf. What I really enjoyed about playing there last week was that I was always getting ready to hit my second shot with the foursome in front alway finishing on the green.

The one time I caught up with a foursome wasn't until the 18th hole! They let me play through.

It really is a pleasure to play on a golf course where players understand that even though they may be friends and playing socially, it is still important that they understand, that the idea of the game is to hit your ball and not smoke you cigars and socialize at the tee box. Just hit the dang ball.

I would give this a 5 star based just on having a great experience with golfers that understand how to move through the course.

There was only one complaint, they had aerated the greens and sanded over them so green speed wasn't correct. At least 4 or 5 putts heading straight into the hole were held up by the sand and perfs in the green.

Conditions a little rough

Greens are in good shape, the fairways are a little bare but not bad given the lack of rain. Tee boxes are not in good shape and they are crowned, hard to get a flat lie on many.

GOOD PLACE TO PLAY

Overall, not a bad track for the money. Conditions of the small greens were good and most fairways okay. Tee areas need work. If you get by the unimpressive and somewhat depressing first hole, course greatly improves. Back nine is much more enjoyable and more challenging than the front nine. No beverage cart or water on the course. Outdoor snack shack was closed as we made the turn at 2:30 on a Thursday, but was open before our round. Strange. Looks the course is trying to make improvements with new outdoor patio area by the pro shop. Range/practice area is terrible. Mats only and looks chewed up with some of the worst quality/shape range balls I have seen in a while. Putting green is fine and true to greens on the course.

Pretty good course

Went out at midday so it was very open. Overall conditions were good considering the weather we've been having. Greens are very small which was challenging -- probably above my skill level, but was good practice for dialing in approach shots. Given my level, I will try to take advantage of deals and summer rates

Extremely Slow

Beginning on 3rd hole waited every shot. Playing thru not an option due to groups waiting every hole. At the turn asked in pro shop about a ranger- said no ranger in afternoons. Finally gave up after 11 holes. No fun to have to wait every single shot.

Tee boxes were rough, fairways ok, greens good. With lack of rain lately, this is typical of most courses.

I have always enjoyed the layout here but the pace of play today was horrible.
