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
Don't waste your time
No range
Staff very stuffy and unfriendly
Food is over priced
Course is one of the least pictureurx in Florida
Go somewhere else!!
Disappointed
Until the course's major construction is done they should limited play to those who want to play and know the course's condition. Otherwise, they are disappointing others by foolery. When the course is done, then it WILL be nice to play on.
Greens
All the greens are closed, but the temporary greens worked fine. We used the 2 putt rule. If you were on the green the most you would score was a 2 putt. I was lucky and chipped it in on 10 for a eagle. No putting required.
no greens
When I purchased this time and when I checked in no one said anything about the greens being completely torn up...they just cut a very small patch of the fairway in front of the green short...cut a hole in it and called it a green...also piles of fertilizer lined every fairway...when the course is put back together it may be a nice course but for right now I would not recommend it to anyoneI may have had a better experience if I was notified prior to purchasing or at least before I started my round of the conditions but I was not in there for quite disappointedalso we nearly had to push the golf cart back to the club house because it ran out of battery life
Beware! Wait for the New Greens.
I booked a tee time but didn't notice that the course was using temporary greens. Shocked when I found every green gone. Each hole was 30 to 40 yards shorter and had a closely mown area with a cup and flag. Yardages were tough though most shots into these holes were with wedges. I didn't bother putting! Pro told me they expect the new greens to be ready in August. I suggest you wait until then.
Great Mothers Day
Excellent time this course. Temporary greens aside. I would play there again and again . Staff was friendly, helpful and accommodating. Thank you for the great golf day.
Want my money back!
Rude front staff and members, no starter on a Sunday morning. Members playing skins game off tee hitting 2 tee shots each again on a Sunday morning. Course in pretty bad shape A lot of dirt no grass off fairway. Sand traps need sand. Course about to get greens redone and they do need it! Beautiful layout. If they only had a decent greens keeper and someone taking charge up front. Had a member practicing off the side of 10th fairway. When I got over rise there was 50 balls in fairway. Never found mine amongst members balls.
Play it again, awesome deal
We played TT for first time; they paired up my wife and me with two singles who were good guys to play with. The course is in excellent condition and is a lot of fun. Very nice driving holes. Greens were in good shape and very very fast. Fairways are excellent. We considered this round a terrific deal and will go back as often as we can.
Old School Course
Very interesting course to play - meanders through old community, street traffic driving by, joggers, walkers - has a park-like setting. Don't worry, there are plenty of old, towering oak trees to keep stray shots from going off the course. Nearly 100-yr old course - interesting course architecture - the way golf was played years ago. Lots of greenside bunkers. Greens were in very good shape. Some fairways were worn down to sand in some places - but otherwise an interesting, challenging course unlike many of today's FLA courses.
Great old style Florida Golf
The course is your good old style Florida golf course. The tee boxes and fairway were in average condition, which is normal for this time of year. The greens looks a little rough, but rolled true and were very quick.
We paired up with a member on the back 9 and enjoyed the course more with this commentary and history of the course while we played.
There is no driving range, just some matt's w/a cage, so don't come expecting a good warm up.
Well worth giving a try, but I understand that after the member guest next week, they are tearing up the greens to replace them, so you may want to hold off on the round until the fall, depending on how fast they get them done.
Nice place
Good experience, course in good condition, maybe a little thick on the greens, but a good deal for the price.
Temple Terrace Golf and Country Club
It is a great course. It is long and fun. We finished 18 holes in around 4 hours.
Fun Layout
Course was in good shape, and the layout was fun. Front 9 went very quick, on the back 9 ran into a number of groups who weren't on the front 9. Bottom line we unable to finish our round.
Nice course good greens well maintained
Very much enjoy this course, very straightforward, no forced carries. Course was in very good shape. Dining room & food was very good.
Great Friday afternoon
Have played here a number of times. Great....and I mean great! value. Designed by Tom Bendelow, it is another one of his great creations. Course was in good shape.
Would recommend to anyone.
Great Course Conditions Weather was a bit frigid
What great shape the course was in. The fairways were plush and the greens ran true. Only drawback was it was soooooo cold for Florida. That took a bit of enjoyment out of the round. Carts were great and souped up and pace of play could have been a bit better but will definitely be returning.
GREAT COURSE!
I played this course for the first time, at the recommendation of a golf buddy of mine. I was pleasantly surprised at the layout and overall course quality. This is a challenging course nestled in a suburban neighborhood. The greens rolled great and the fairways were lush, even in winter. The history in the clubhouse is amazing since this is one of Tampa's oldest courses. Well worth the time.
Great course
Enjoyed a good round. Thanks golf now.
First time playing a course I had seen as I grew up.
Very nice day.
A good variety
This course meanders through mature neighborhoods, offering wide fairways and plenty of mature trees throughout the course. The greens are large and offer a good challenge, albeit, I found the practice green considerably faster than most of the greens on the course.
Nice Surprise
Heard I should play it. Wasn't too excited since it seemed to be short and old. Got there and the pro could not have been friendlier in the pro shop. Wanted to make sure we had a good time. Course was in good condition. Greens were great other than the fact that they were very hard to read. I'm a good putter and really struggled with the reads. Putts never broke. Round took almost 5 hours but we weren't upset. Appeared a lot of older members were on course and all were very pleasant and conversational. Just a neat experience to be out there on a course with so much history. Would like to play again.
