Links of Lake Bernadette
About
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.

Slow greens
Cours was in decent shape but greens slow. Most fairways were in good shape except for a few. Overall it was good golf outing,
Great course
One of the best course we have played in Florida so far p
Tees, fairways, and greens need help
Tee boxes very worn and sandy. Fairways sandy, greens like patchwork quilts (many) - and grass plugs put back in old holes did not align with the existing grain of surrounding grass.
It’s a $25 round at best.
Maybe later in the year it gets better?
But now-it’s not worth going back.
Fun couse
Course was in much better shape than it was the last few times I played. Greens were in good shape but a bit on the slower side. Not near as bad as the last few times. It's a fun course. They've done a nice job renovating the outside of the club house. The pro shop is very sparse. A few interesting holes and it's forgiving if you get in trouble.
Been playing it for many years and always enjoy it.
Good course, get what you pay for. Had t played a round in 3 months and was glad it wasn’t a stuffed up course and surrounded by “like” golfers.
Zephyrhills Best
Have been playing Lake Bernadette for years and the last three times I’ve played it has been the best shape I have ever seen it in. Early tee time and pace of play was good and course was in great condition. Personnel friendly and professional…Saw our friend Al E. Gator out there also enjoying himself…
Not bad for price…
Challenging course as nothing comes easy here. Fairways were decent some areas of concern. Greens were inconsistent but pretty decent overall. Best putting result so far this year. So I was happy with them but my counterparts were not. Sandpits were in good shape. Best I have seen in a while on any course. Pace of play was slow as heck.
Great Local
They’ve really put a lot of work into both the course and the the clubhouse, always a great course to enjoy a round of golf
Good value
Nothing fancy. Reasonable price. Ok layout and ok condition. A little beat up from carts around greens. No water on the course and no cart girls.
Great course for the price
Pro shop and bar are both nice, the course is well maintained but a few of the greens & tee boxes look like they need some TLC, overall great round for the price
Okay Course to Work on Your Game
Course is Okay, some Fairways and some Greens could use some love. If you can Catch a Hot Deal on Golf Now, Okay Course to Play. If You are a Serious Golf and use to pristine Fairways and Immaculate Greens, May Not Be for You. If You want Fresh Air and Fine Tuning Your Game, I would Recommend Giving this Course a Go. Beware, Course Could use some Love, some patchy Greens and Bald Spots in Fairways, but in Okay Condition to get in a Fun Practice Round. Pace Play was Horrendous on Sunday around 11:30am. 6 Hour Round for a Single Golfer behind at least 3 Foursomes with No Golf Etiquette to Let People Play Through. But Okay Course and I will probably Play there again. Great Staff and Snack Bar Helped this Review. Pace of Play, would have got -5 for this Course.
The course could be in better condition. Was disappointed.
Improving!?!
This course was in our rotation but fell into a poor state last year. It was just about unplayable (especially the greens). This was my first time playing here in 18 months and it has come a long way. I hope they keep up the improvements. They were really busy but the starter did a good job pairing us up with another two-some.
