Temple Terrace Golf & Country Club
About
Opened in 1922, Temple Terrace Golf & Country Club is one of the oldest courses in the Tampa Bay area. In fact, it's the only 18-hole golf course in Florida that's listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It's the centerpiece of the Temple Terrace community and it's much loved by locals. At 6,443 yards from the back tees, the golf course is short by modern standards but what it lacks in length it makes up for in other challenges. The layout has a traditional design with small greens and tree-lined fairways that demand accuracy. Several strategically positioned bunkers also come into play along the greens. There are some tight spots and a fair amount of tricky holes, but overall Temple Terrace is player friendly enough for all skill levels.

Ok for price.
The course was ok…greens dotted with competing grass/weeds. A good way to have a quick weekday round of golf. Course layout can be a touch confusing. Random neighborhood residents walking on the course
Great time
Staff was super friendly. Got us out 1/2 early. Played in under 3.5 hours. Greens roll fast. Met the club pro out practicing.
Staff is super nice
Enjoyed this course staff is really great. Course was in decent shape. The middle of the back 9 has too many back to back holes that are straight 320-360 yard straight par 4s which gets repetitive.
Not what it used to be.
The only reason Course Conditions was rated good was because the greens were really nice and rolled well. Tee Boxes were good but the test of the course wasn’t much. Not much grass on the fairways with conditions even worse if you missed them. Sand Traps were just black dirt. Trees were overgrown and could use a nice trimming especially those hanging well into the fairways. Really disappointing.
Still worth playing
The course is short, but that doesn't mean it is easy. The areas around the greens are worn and have quite a bit of sandy areas.
The course is deep in nostalgia and whenever I play there, I think of all of the people who played the course when it originally opened and how the length of the course was different for them as opposed to the modern-day golfer.
Either way, whenever there's a deal, I will continue to play TT.
Nice, classic course
Friendly staff, helpful to a first time player here. Only issue is off-course. Lots of garbage trucks working the surrounding community makes for interesting smells while playing.
Play: more or less forgiving fairways, fun layout, faaaaaaaaast greens! Aim short of the pins.
Course condition
Recenley pluged greens without any alert or warning as to the green conditions. Full price chared with no accomadation or price reduction.
ROUGH SHAPE
Flat older-style somewhat likeable layout but conditions need much improvement. Heavy rain night before but course drains well except for the bunkers which need much more sand. Any sand actually cus they're more like thin dirt over clay. Greens were very recently punched and sanded but they rolled ok considering. Take some of that sand and add to the bunkers. Without better maintenance, this course will further decline fast which is a shame cuz it's a decent layout. We still had a very fun day as pace was good because few golfers were playing.
