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.

Different than most Florida courses
This was a really enjoyable course. The course is different than most Florida courses in that water really only comes into play on one hole. The tee shots are not challenging, but the greens are very small with many bunkers, which makes for some very challenging approach shots. The course is extremely picturesque and I loved the course in general.
Everything was in pretty good shape. Bunker sand was a touch heavy, greens had a couple of spots here or there, and it was sometimes hard to tell where fairways started and ended. However, for the price (I paid $57 after taxes/fees), I felt this course was a great value for the money.
Great layout
The greens were very slow, compared to recent times. #7 green, is still not in great shape.
Everyone had to play a shortened #1 because of a festival on the leftside of the hole.
Bendelow challenge
Had a great day at Temple Terrace. Staff and members really friendly. Got paired up with a lovely couple from Upstate New York which made the game even more enjoyable. Course is not too tough but is laid out well. Only one real water hazard made for a pleasant change from usual Florida courses. Lots of shots to tree lined fairways and some tough dog legs. Overall in very good shape with greens especially good. Highly recommended
Course and greens were a great shape would definitely come back
March 6th Experience
Wow, what a fun day on an historic course I learned a lot about from wonderful, professional employees (in the clubhouse and while playing the course with an employee and his dad).. The greens were phenomenal, as was the layout. Lots of variety! Can’t wait to get back there again next February/March, bringing others with me. Truly an enjoyable experience in every way.
Good round
Course was in good shape, pace moved easily without waiting.
Not worth the 75
Nice greens, great pace of play. Poor conditions not worth the $75. Closer to a $40-50 course.
Great staff, very average conditions
Staff was super friendly. Course conditions were belles expectations. Some fairways, t-off and greens were very rough.
Fun course
Course was in pretty good shape. A few tee boxes and greens needed some love, but overall it was a fun course to play. Was pretty unique as it runs through a neighborhood, but not like any other golf course community in have ever played in. Pace of play was fantastic. Will definitely be back
Little rough, but a nice layout.
The course is laid out nicely. Staff is friendly and helpful. Grounds keepers are polite and stop while you’re swinging. Sand traps are in pretty good shape. Fairways and greens are a little rough, but better than a lot of other courses I’ve played at and it cost less than those courses too. Yardage markers are hard to see as they are slabs flush with the ground and the distance plates were missing from every sprinkler head that I saw. Unless you’re using an app, you don’t know the layout because it’s not on the scorecard and there isn’t a preview at the tee box. The course is nice and could be excellent if some of the minor details were addressed. Either way, it made for a nice day of golf.
Nice course
Love playing here. The pace was great and the course is in great condition.

Fabulous course and great pace of play
Nicely nestled in an upscale neighborhood with a Junior college nearby. Right size greens and gracious fairways. No gps cart restrictions which is fine by me. Flat T boxes, but could be better identified.
Temple Terrace
The course is a decent course challenging, unfortunately greens were rough, but over all not bad.
With GolfPass discounts and earned credits made the price manageable. Carts are very comfortable.
