Rating 70.7

The Links of Lake Bernadette enjoys verdant landscaping and a rolling terrain that are perfectly complemented by mature and towering pines. At 6,400 yards, the golf course is seemingly short but it feels like it plays much longer due to frequent doglegs that can be found throughout. Six of the par 4s play over 400 yards and a few par 3s measure over 200 yards, which also helps the course feel longer. Water hazards and bunkers come into play but they are balanced by large greens and wide fairways that make for easier approaches. Although beginners won't feel out of place and there are four different sets of tees, the golf course boasts several tricky holes that will challenge even the best players. One of these, the 163-yard 13th, was once called the best par 3 in Tampa Bay.

The Links of Lake Bernadette was in good condition; nice wide fairways and closely cut fast greens.....challenging even from the forward tees.....worth the drive from the Port Richey area......and very affordable even without the $10 discount from Golf Now.....

Stay out the rough

I thought it was a challenge playing golf course today. The fairway was that and the rough made you pay. The greens were amazing.

Wet weather
Used cart

It was great but the rain has made it muddy.

I love playing this course it's my third time being back. We've been having a lot of rain including a hurricane recently so everything was very wet obviously out of the keeper's control. The only issue was the players need to be reminded not to do donuts on the fairway when it's this wet. There were tracks that looked like someone was mud bogging and lost several balls when they sunk into the mud. Don't spoil this place it's one of the best in town and the staff doesn't deserve the extra headache.

The course was like a swamp.

Due to rain the day before, the course had puddles and was very spongy. Most shots were plugging into the ground and at many spots on the course I was up to my ankles in mud. No matter where you drove the cart, you were making deep ruts in the grass.

Good Value

Course is in great condition, especially given the rain we have been receiving for weeks and hurricane Helene just passing through the area.

As with most public courses in this area, the course could benefit from some grass seed in the fairways.

For whatever reason very few courses in this area plant new seed ???

Seen better days

I played this course in March and was in a lot better shape. Maybe it's due to wet weather recently but the fairways were very weedy and visually everything looked in horrible shape. I hope it finds better days. The staff was super friendly. The layout is tight, challenging and enjoyable. I hope the course finds better days.

Challenging Layout

The day we played, for whatever reason, the greens were not mowed and subsequently were terribly slow. My ball stopped once on about a 45 degree downslope. The course was rugged due to the recovery of torrential rains a week prior that had closed the course. Plenty of tracks from where carts went where carts shouldn't go. But, the price was good and we made it around. I figure the greens added 10 strokes, at least. I usually like the course.

Fun course

Fun course. Greens are very slow. There’s a short order restaurant but no bar that I could see. There’s no diving range but there is a practice green.

I love this place but it was a bit shaggy

I've been here a couple times now and it's been great both times. The people are friendly and the course even in the summer was nice and breezy due to he layout. It's a beautiful course. The only problem I had was in some spots even if you tracked your ball you couldn't find it on the fairway. There were shaggy spots but it's understandable there's been a lot of rain. All in all I'd still recommend it.

Before Was Better

I used to play this course like 10 years ago and it was a much better experience. Still enjoy the layout of some holes, but losing balls in the middle of the fairway is not easy to take.
