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.

First Time Playing

No range, poor tee boxes, shaggy greens, slow play

Let me start by saying that the staff is great. Drinks are cheap, so is the food. That being said, they pack them in on the course in the morning. Our average wait time on the tee box was 10 minutes, on every box. Took us 4:15 to play 18 as a twosome. Tee boxes were sandy and slightly over grown. The greens hadn’t been mowed or rolled in a while. Greens were easy to read but SLOW and bumpy. Couldn’t hit it hard enough, EVER. Fairways were nice and the design is fun and challenging. For the money, not great unless you can find a deal. Very small and tight parking area as well. Lots of water that isn’t shown on the course guide.

Great Value

Haven't found a better deal yet, $25 for 18 with a cart. Course was green all over. Only one green with a little disease on it but even that green I would consider above average. Greens were slow but rolled true. Overall while it's in the shape it is and at that price point I would play there every day. Oh yeah and made it around as a threesome with a brand new golfer in 3.5 hours. Only reason not 5 stars is beacuse you aren't going to mistake if for Souther Hills or Old Mo but it's a great/fun track in great shape.

Good layout

Best staff. I booked the wrong day in error, and the starter managed to fit us in. Course is as good as I have seen it in many years. I golf with my 75 yr old father, and the layout is friendly enough for him and challenging enough to make it entertaining for a longer hitter..

I have golfed here many times, and will continue to do so.

Love the character of the course

This is my closest to home course. I want it to be so great so bad. They have new ownership and are letting in the work. The staff was great and we had a great time. We will definitely be back and looking forward to seeing the changes they are making.
