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.

Enjoyable
Club house staff very friendly and helpful. The fairways were plush very well taken care of. The Greens had been aerated two weeks ago but were very playable and green. I was surprised at the condition of this course. Course lay out was not difficult but offered you a challenge. I really enjoyed my round.
Tired
This is a tired, struggling small town country club. It's obvious members don't like outside players. Decent design and condition, and worth a stop if the price is right. This is definatly NOT a "destination" golf course.
A good day of golf.
Course was in good shape considering the hot weather conditions had dried the greens out making them quick. I was able to capitalize on a good rate through my golf now app. Enjoyed my round thoroughly.
Tight but very nice course
This golf course is not a long course but definitely requires line of flight and distance control . Almost all fairways are tree lined and the greens are magnificent. Fairways still a little short on grass and all fairway lies are tight.
The Greens were Great
The course was in great shape the greens were wonderful to play on.
Fantastic greens
Tees, fairways and greens were in very good shape some of the rough was kind of patchy,
Had to skip two holes and replay later as member 5- sums would not honor play through as a twosome
That was only a small problem with greens were in great shape and quick
Temple Terrace
Great traditional Florida track. Well maintained, greens very good. Service was great and members very friendly. Will play again for sure.
Historic course, fun play
Excellent play. Course was in great shape and weather was fantastic! Greens were fast and fairways narrow, but playable; my errors. Looks like a links course, but plays like an old line home course. Good feeling.
I will play again when in the area.
Not able to play the course
Sorry, but my hired car broke down and I did not make the course. I am gutted. Take no notice of the above., I had to put something in to submit my report
A Welcoming Old Friend
We were alone on the course on a beautiful Sunday afternoon. The classic beauty of the course take you back a hundred years. Very playable with hospitable members. A delightful afternoon.
Save your $$
Save your money !! This course id in very poor condition. No grass in the fairways. Greens are hard as a pool table. –
9 HC I Work at a Private course
nice day
Course was in good shape and the greens were excellent. Fairways were thin in some places but this still February so I expect them to fill in in the near future
Greens are amazing...
Greens are in really great condition! It is a challenging course that demands planning versus muscle. Fairways a bit tight but overall a great course. For $40 at a semi-private club, it is a great deal too. Never experience any challenge in pace of play either.
slow play, five hours plus
We were there an hour early. No range, so we waited until our time. When we went to the tee, four groups of members were allowed to go in front of us. Three hours and twenty minutes later, we left the 11th green and called the pro shop. Nothing they could do. I didn't think a 1:00 PM tee time would have to worry about finishing before dark. Two players with us dropped out, or we would not have finished before dark. Bunkers need attention, but greens were nice. Make sure you pack a lunch and have drinks with you. No beverage cart on the course.
New Greens
Having played this course numerous times in the past and not being a real fan of it I was pleasantly surprised by the changes that have been made over the past 18-24 months. The bunkers were in better condition and the greens are in great shape. The fairways though continue to be a bit thin(I know, it's winter), but it still doesn't get 100% better in June. All in all a good value at $35 at 1:00 PM in February.
Awesome greens
This was the 2nd time to play TT. The new greens were awesome . . Fast. We will play again. Staff of real friendly when they know you're not a member.
greens are well maintained
Course layout was nice pace was good traffic on both sides of the course was a little bothersome other than that good course make sure your cart has a rake none on the course
Temple Terrace Hot Deal
Nice course in good shape - old and established with open layout and mature trees. I played at a hot deal rate of $17, which was a phenomenal deal.
Great old memories
I used to play this course as a kid in tournaments and HS golf matches. It was neat to play there again 25 years later. They have redone the greens from what I was told and they rolled very nicely, still pretty hard though. When GN has great deals it is a must play, can't wait to get back out there again!!
Great Day on this historic Tampa tradition
First time playing this course, greens where recently replaced and what an amazing course. Ball placement on the greens were critical and in perfect shape. Course design (EST 1922) is challenging and beautifully laid out with mature live oaks everywhere, beautiful homes and just a pleasant course to play. I can not wait to play this gem again.
