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.

Lake Bernadette

Hadn't played here in about 2 months. The greens are getting better but they were shaggy and you really had to hit your putt hard to get it to the hole. The overall course needs water as there are places in the fairways where there is nothing by sand, no grass. The tee boxes could use some work as well as they are getting threadbare. Still like the layout and hopefully they can get some water on the ocurse.

Greens in Good Shape

Starter got us on the 1st hole right on time (11:15 am). Pace of play was good as we were done right around 4 hrs. Course was dry as most are due to lack of rain but the greens were obviously watered regularly and in good shape but could have been cut down a notch. Took most of the round to figure the speed. Love the layout and most likely would like to play there again now that I know some of the areas to avoid off the tees.

Getting better

First time playing this course in 2023. Tee boxes need some TLC. Fairways were in good shape. Some of the grass on the greens were a bit too long.

Course Conditions mean EVERYTHING

We moved to Wesley Chapel just over a year ago. So starting to try out different courses in the area. This was the first course I’ve played and I won’t be going back. Many parts of the course were burned out with only some green grass to play from. The putting greens were slow and showed many places where grass on the greens have been replaced from the nursery. The tee boxes had no green grass on them.

review

The Links at Lake Bernadette was a fun course to play.....not overly long, the greens were a bit slow, fairways were cut short, but bare spots were prevalent and not too much water or sand hazards....slow play because we were following a group of women...( only for 9 holes ). Looking forward to playing there again someday soon.

Loved the greens!

Cart paths need some attention. Fairways a little rough but all are like that due to lack of rain. I liked the way the greens ran. Will be going back.

Bernadette almost the best

Personnel working their top notch, wish we did not have to start in the dark. Pace of play was great until a walker showed up in front of us on the last 3 or 4 holes. Will definitely be back. Best condition I have seen Lake Bernadette in sinceI first arrived in Florida going on 20 years ago....

Fun links-style course

We had family in town and easily got a tee time. The course was dry but overall in good shape. I’ve played here a few times in the past couple of months and haven’t been disappointed.
