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.

Great Time

Course is in Great shape. Huge improvement with the fairways and tee boxes. The greens are a little slow yet but I'm sure that will improve over time.

I can tell the greens are being worked on. They were very fuzzy. I trust they will be getting a tighter cut in the near future. Also some of the tee boxes are pretty rough while others are getting a rest by moving to temp spots. Many of the tees could use some attention. Progress is being made though.

Add to your list

Great course, great shape, great layout, played Saddlebrook the next day and found the similarities for sure. Yes, the greens are slow for my taste. However, I’ve already booked this course again. Met some great resident golfers on the course as well. Just a great experience. I’d highly recommend it

Happy Fathers Day

Course was gorgeous, beautiful greens, a very well maintained track . Played pretty fast for Fathers Day, and made it home for the final 3 pairings of the US Open. Overall had a great day at the Links.

Please mow & roll the greens, too bumpy

I really like this course but the greens were too shaggy, slow, and bumpy. Many of the tee boxes barely had grass.

Golf Course Review

Holes are way too close to one another. We had several people hit a ball on our hole of play. Conditions of the greens were so so and overall just not impressive. An Port a potty, behing some wood, which was a hazard in itself since they are not kept clean and we had to deal with snakes and other wildlife around them. Ones we saw where definitely not checked on in a while. I would never recommend or return to spend any amount of my hard earned money here
