Crescent Oaks Country Club

Lets start with the good.... the really good.... the GREAT. THESE GREENS ARE AMAZING. I was floored at how good they are. The roll perfect and are lightening fast (probably around a 12-13 on the stemp) They were cut down and very very smooth.... I just cant say enough about them.

I used to be a member here 25 years ago. It was 100% private back then and always in good shape. Since I moved away, I heard it has been sold a couple times but never returned to its great condition. My buddy told me the new owners were really making an effort to improve the course, so I decided to give it a try. $100 was on the lower end and they had availability on a couple days notice, so I was looking forward to playing here.

I started off with the best... the greens. Nothing left to say about that.

The staff was amazing... all around.

Pace was good and we saw the ranger 4-5 times over the course of our round. Took us just over 4 hours, but we had two 25+ handicappers in our group, so we were not playing too fast, but also did not hold anyone up. The course was booked solid, but the pace was good.

Layout is good and you can choose the tee's the suit your game. It is a shot makers course..... lots of hazards, but not overly long from the standard tees.

I do not want to be negative on the tee boxes and fairways due to the extremely cold weather lately. almost everything is dormant and the fairways and tee boxes are not what I believe they normally are. I bet this place will be a perfect 5 in the spring once they lay some seed and the grass grows.

You can see the improvements they have made around the course..... I give them alot of credit because they are really making an effort and it is evident.

Here is the only bad.... really bad. The new carts (which are great) have a geofence program the limits where the carts can go. They are WAY off......We were 12 inches off the fairway and the cart stops and starts beeping. You are required to put the cart in reverse and get back into the allowed area, and it takes time for the cart to even move. This happened no less than 25 times during our round. To be fair, I had read about this in the previous reviews, but those were a month or two ago and i figured they had it resolved... they don't. I would think this is an easy fix, but for some reason it has not been addressed.

The only other real negative is the rakes they have around the sand traps. For those of us that take pride in raking bunkers after we hit out of them, a good rake is a good incentive. Cheap and broken rakes explain why some traps were not properly raked. I am guessing the new owners have not idea that this is even an issue, but would imagine now that they know new rakes will be there soon.

In short.... I would play here again in a flash, just as it was today. The greens were that good and the cart issues and rakes were irritating, but did not take away from a GREAT day.

Able to get tee time on a Friday at 11:30 so booked it. turned out great course in very nice gated community. Relaxed pace, but great holes with interesting risk rewards on each. Definitely play it again when in the Palm Harbor/ Dunedin area.

I had some friends in town and wanted to book somewhere that tends to be reliable. We check golf now for tee time availabilities but prefer to book directly through the course as golf now takes a cut of the tee time cost. I called the pro shop to reserve a tee time for Saturday at 12:10 for three golfers no problem. When we showed up the next day, the course wanted $75+ tax even though it was cart path only due to overseeding. Golf now’s rate was $56 which he said he can’t match. We asked if he would honor that rate and he declined. We told him that’s fine, we’ll just book the following tee time at 12:18 through golf now if he can’t match the advertised rate. We tried to book the 12:18 and every following tee time through golf now and somehow, every single tee time was booked from 12:18 until 1:14 within a matter of two minutes which was obviously done out of spite by this very small “man”. We decided to play anyway and booked the 1:14 and get lunch inside at the clubhouse. We sat for close to an hour and watched as not a single group teed off. So in summary, this hollow shell of a man cost the course $300/tee time, falsely booking 6 tee times equating to over $1800 simply out of spite. I wouldn’t book this course again if they promised me a round at Augusta with Tiger Woods.

I like this course and play here often. It'd be a reasonable thing to advise of cart path only. Some may choose otherwise, but it should be a choice made with this information, imo.

Arrived here for first time rate was ok 65-75 with cart . No range open and cart paths only were told after check-in lol

Range would have been nice but on we go . Many tee in tough shape uneven no grass just poor to say the least . General layout was ok , short from White tees many par 4 s under 300 yards

Paid 67-70 so average overall AAA far as cost goes

Def needs some love but has potential to be solid track with some work in certain areas .

All good with the exception being that the tee boxes could be leveled and groomed. Fairways and greens were nice; bunkers spotty.

Steer clear. Rude staff and owner. Completely over priced. Horribly maintained. Crappy fairways and greens that are so small you’d think it was a chip n putt course. Weeds everywhere on the green. Tee boxes are mainly crab grass. No water on the course. Pace of a 5+ hour round and nobody did anything about it.

One of the worst courses I’ve played in Florida. Terrible fairways and greens, tee boxes are atrocious. Managers are a joke. We were on a pace for a 6 hour round before we were kicked off because I took off my pullover and was in a shirt (I was baking in the sun waiting for 20 minutes on every tee box). No water on the course for customers. Completely overpriced. Wouldn’t wish it upon my worst enemy to have to play this course. Steer clear

Poor inconsistent greens with tons of weeds growing, lots of bare patches both in the fairway and just off of it. This is absolutely not a $80 round, $50 at best. Teed off 40 minutes late for a 9:20 tee time.

Greens in good condition, nice layout although theres many tee boxes with low visibility. Everything was up to standard and the only qualm I had with any of the course conditions was some of the teebox maintenance. I’d recommend and would return.

I have played here twice in the last two weeks and the only nice person I have come across is gentleman in pro shop. “Head pro” or “assistant pro” is very unprofessional and is focused more on how he looks than the own operation. Rushed and rude staff plus members. We will never return, please understand this is coming from someone in golf operations for 10+ years. Please do better.
