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.

Golfer Reviews
Oh come on!
I've been playing this course for over 30 years, I learned here and I love playing here but I don't understand what they are thinking. They opened the course up to the public through GOLFNOW so they must need to generate revenue so why do they not act like they appreciate the potential members that come play there?
I arrived as a single. I booked my time about 2 hours before hand and picked a time 12:22 that I knew had a lot of empty space ahead of me. I arrived at the course around 11:50, checked in and was told that the t-box was open. I told the pro-shop attendant that I wanted to warm up first. I went to the pitching area and loosened up and when I came to the t-box it was stacked up. A 5-some on the green, 4-some in the fairway and another 4-some on the tee in my time slot. I came knowing that if I did not get matched up I would play through a couple of groups well ahead of me; what I did not anticipate was 3 groups. These groups were all members that do not book a t-time, they show up in their carts and off they go.
This is not the first time I've seen 5 and 6-somes on this course and usually the pace of play is good enough for a twosome, they play ready golf. I've caught up to these groups time and time again and the explanation is always the same, there's several groups ahead of us, and since they are all members they are indifferent.
I went back to the clubhouse, got my refund and no golf for me today! I should have booked somewhere else!
Great layout
Course was in great shape, greens were fast but true! Will definitely be back to play this course again!
Nice old course
course had a couple of trouble areas, but otherwise in good condition. Fairly generous landing areas and a lot of doglegs. Greens were in good condition. Course is difficult to find your way around for first timers - some signs would be appreciated. Pro shop not overly friendly or helpful, we got more information on the course from the gentleman mowing the first tee!
First time, but not the last
Very pleased, staff was very friendly. The course was in very good condition even for October. The greens were about a 10-10 1/2 stimp and rolled true. Course is not long but fairways are tight. You need to hit the fairways to score. As a visitor to the area I would recommend this venue to anyone regardless of skill level. Don't miss out on a great opportunity.
Great Course
Course was great. They need to better identify the wholes at the Tees and need to put a map of the course on the scorecard. Major backups on back nine. Log jam of players at 10th Tee. My sun and I skipped holes 10-14, 17 and drove the course. We waited on 4 of those holes for groups to tee off so we wouldn't interrupt them by driving through. Played the greens only on 15, 16,18. When we finished the 18th hole, the group we were log jammed behind at 10 was just putting their ball down behind the tee. 4 of the tees on the back nine had at least two groups waiting to tee off. This has nothing to do with the course though and could have had a myriad of reasons this happened besides scheduling too many people. The course was fantastic. It was clean. The greens were in excellent shape.
Old time favorite
Have played this course many times in the last few years.. The greens were in excellent condition even though the course had a few wet spots! Staff is doing a great job on keeping it in awesome condition!
Great old-style golf course - relatively short, but tree-lined fairways, bunker-protected greens, etc. Unfortunately this course, which I believe is listed on the historic registry, is in financial trouble. Go play there and help them out!
A walk back in time
I've had the pleasure of playing this golf course on number of occasions and it never disappoints.
Course was in really good shape. Greens were soft and receptive although a bit slower than I remember. A great course to walk when it's not 95 outside.
Congested
Overall, it's a decent course for the money. I personally like a little more laid back, relaxed feel with less hustle and bustle, so this course didn't fit my perfect Saturday. The full course is surrounded by streets and houses and there were a ton of diversions and random noises all over the place, but overall the course itself is a solid playable course.
