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.

Nice course
This is a really good course. But during the summer, when you can finally get a good tee time, the course is being made ready for the fall. This is when the snow birds return.
Love the course
Our 3rd time playing this course. Great value for an excellent course.
They’re putting in work
Happy to see the new owners really putting some money in to the place. Great layout that desperately needs a makeover tee to green. Have seen some progress in all three areas. Other spots are going through major maintenance, some tee boxes are closed, whatever. I hope no one is coming out here to try and break the course record, unless that record is for beers consumed per 9.. It’s a great value at $ 22 or less.
Carts could use some maintenance. Greens need work.
Summertime Rehab
The course is obviously in it's summer rehab so it's understandable that the greens are in rough shape. Fees should probably be a little lower. I paid $18 for 9 holes. The staff is very friendly and welcoming. The clubhouse was also in the middle of a remodel.
Lake Bernadette
I have played this course twice in 3 weeks and both times I started off alone and ended up joining people to finish.
That’s what made it so great for me
Some fairways and a couple of greens were rough. Had a foursome in front of us ( a twosome) that we waiting on after every shot and they would not let us pass. No golf etiquiette!
Decent layout
Played this course in the past nits definitely hit and miss more miss than hit. Greens for the most part are terrible. Fairways were decent. Sand traps had sand in them. Staff was friendly. I know they’re working on getting this course back and it will take some time. I’ll wait till the reviews are better.
Great course horrible greens
Played this course for the first time. Fairways were in good shape. Even the tee boxes weren’t bad. But when you get to the greens. Look out they are horrible shape. Ball does not roll true at all. It will bounce from left to right to left because of the crab grass and huge marks all over. If the greens were taken care of I would play here often.
Nice Courae
Fairways and greens in excellent shape. Great value for 18 holes.
Not the same course
Things have changed. The fairways are smooth and the greens are gorgeous. The parking lot is full again so it's the place to be. Happy round.
Poor value
For $35 was overpriced due to poor tee boxes and front nine greens. Back nine greens were better. Great layout, but tees are not usable on all holes. Pace was great until we came up to a shotgun start outing. Took 40 minutes to play last 2 holes. For the conditions, $20 is about right.
Needs work on the greens and tee boxes.
The greens and the tee boxes are in need of repair. It looks like they are working on a lot of it but right now it needs help.
KEEPS GETTING BETTER AND BETTER
Greens are definitely much better. Much effort has gone into the improvements in and it shows. The course is not perfect but it's getting there. Staff is is friendly and accommodating. This is my go to course....would definitely recommend.
