Temple Terrace Golf & Country Club

I can't begin to explain how bad this experience was. When I booked it on Golfnow, it said member for a day and I certainly did not experience any benefit of being a member. No cold drinking water or cart girl on the course either. I certainly would NOT want to be a member there. No driving range and the putting green is literally next to the 1st tee. So after finishing the 7th hole, there stood a girls HS match just teeing off.... 12 girls. Who starts a HS match on the 8th hole?? I called the pro shop and 1, they didn't know there was a girls match today and 2, coaches told them that they normally start on 8.... And yup, I guess the school runs the country club and makes the decision. I left after that and I can't report on how great the conditions or layout was or wasn't. Just didn't care much about this course anymore. Just a really bad bad experience and I would never ever play or recommend anyone to play there. Spend your hard earn money elsewhere!

First time playing this course and really liked it. Much higher quality course than we expected... greens in excellent condition but not terribly fast, relatively small. Fairways and tee boxes all very good... neither of us had any bad lies we didn't deserve. Sand traps immaculate.

Layout fairly basic, no crazy holes, but tree limbs can be a menace. You need to put the ball in the right places, because you can be in the fairway and have no clear shot at the green. On one hole (might have been around 16 or so) if you're hitting from the blue tees, you have to keep your tee shot awkwardly low. The trees have certainly matured over the years, and in a few spots might be trimmed back a bit to improve playability and to not punish good shots.

Only gripe about the course, and it's a minor one, is the lack of drinking water anywhere on the course. There are a couple of soda machines out there, but sometimes you want water... and the only place to get it is at the turn.

All said, the course conditions are comparable with some of the best in the area. Higher quality course than many more heavily-played local favorites.

great classic course greens are very grainy but pure

I would recommend this to all levels..

I've played this course in the past because the greens and fairways were very nice. The tee boxes were good and the fairways were nice but the greens had been just plugged and sanded. No one let us know prior to our purchase. The layout is boring compared to some of the other courses I play regularly. I probably won't go back unless a group of my friends want to play there. Not unhappy but more neutral on the course quality and experience. I would rather play Disney or Celebration for comparable prices.

I brought my step dad here and he didn't know the course existed. He loved the layout and how challenging the course was. He quickly learned that while it looks open, you must hit the fairways. To be off by a few feet means you will be battling low laying tree branches. We both played well.

A replay is already in the forecast!!!!!

My wife and I played Temple Terrace Country Club yesterday morning. 8:20 a.m. tee time. Pro shop guys were great and quick to get us out. The staff all around was great, we ate lunch in the restaurant there and the food was very good. This course is semi private but sometimes allows Member for a Day on Golf Now. We took advantage of $35.00 green/cart fees per person and were glad we did. The course is in tremendous shape! We haven't had much rain at all in May this year and most other courses we have played in the Tampa Bay area have been dried out and burnt out in some cases. 16 of the 18 fairways were pristine and even the other two were still in good shape. The greens were almost perfect, my hats off the greens keeper at this course. He/She is doing a fantastic job of things. We plan on going back and would highly recommend this course to anyone playing in the Tampa area.

First time playing at this course. Fairways were nice and firm.The greens were fast and well maintained. The grounds crew is taking great care of this course..

Great greens. Fairways need to grow some grass. We need rain for them to grow.

First time playing here and was pleasantly surprised! The course was very fun, with quite a bit of movement in the greens. Fairways were in great shape, greens were perfect and rolled true, and are very well protected with green-side bunkers on practically every approach shot. A few holes had water hazards but was pretty easy to avoid them.

Overall, it's not a very hard course, unless you start hitting into the trees lining every fairway.

I'll definitely play it again!

Beautiful greens and a nice layout. A few fairways are in rough shape

My buddy from Chicago and I played and really enjoyed the course, courtesy and scenery. Lots of nice old homes and even a college along the course but not close enough to be a problem. The course was in great shape, both fairways, bunkers and greens. Will definitely play this again.

Very straight forward design but still a challenge. Course penalized you if you got off the fairway. Condition was very good.

My gps kept taking me to 9 hole executive course mile away. Turns out new construction (moved club house) confused gps. Course condition (despite tons of rain) great and layout awesome. Felt like I was back in military with "tuck in shirt" rule. No water coolers on course, just one suspect water fountain. Greens and fairways great shape, bunkers maintained. A lot of traffic that will NOT yield. Off line shots will end up out of bounds in street.

Course is in decent shape. New greens are rolling great . Worth a look if you haven't been recently. Only negative was the "stoner" in the Pro Shop who overcharged us $10??? Not a good look for a "Private Club".

Beyond being on the national historical register,this course is fun and plays fair to any golfer .it has score-able holes and decently open fairways .set in the hills of temple terrace it has a litte elevation on number 10 playing downhill away from clubhouse I recommend this couse to any golfer.

I have always been one to enjoy the old golf courses. The beautiful old growth trees lining every fairway with the tees following near the previous green. This course has nice hills for a Florida course. The greens were perfect and staff could not be nicer. Great time!!
I will look forward to going back to enjoy Temple Terrace it was a pleasure.

Very nice layout and superb conditions. Loved the design and you cannot spray your drives -you will not score . Lots of Oaks everywhere and you will need to punch out as they hug the fairways. Not long but plenty of sand at the greens. Putting surfaces were smooth and fast enough. The staff was very friendly -really a nice treat.

Competitive course great shape would recommend for all levels of player's

Do yourself a favour and get to Temple Terrace as quickly as you can. Tight - Old school Golf.....KEEP IT IN THE FAIRWAY!.
Superb conditions! I was so impressed.
