Style Links
Par 71
Length 6484 yards
Slope 125
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.

A late start

When we pulled into the course there were about 20/26 people waiting for carts , now to give the course (owners) some credit there was a frost delay, so they were running behind ( about an hour I was told ) and also the new owners were left with about 20 carts that had dead batteries, so we waited for the carts to come in our tee off was only about 45 min late , but it was very slow play . Now as for the course the greens need lots of work (very bumpy and slow) I understand that there is a new grounds keeper hired so let's hope the course gets the grooming that it needs .

Wont come back

Having booked a tee time, I was amazed that there were people waiting for carts. After talking to some regulars, overbooking is common. The fairways are in terrible shape, the greens are ok. Our cart was in terrible condition and ran out of battery after 11 holes. We were lucky to make it back to the clubhouse. Of course, there was no one there to complain when we got back. Used to be a great course, not so much anymore, won't be back.

Needs Improvement

Right off the bat...the course needs Rangers and Beverage Carts. Course was overcrowded with Tee Times scheduled too close together. As a twosome, we almost immediately had to wait on each tee for a very slow foursome that was waiting on an even slower sixsome. As we made the turn, we found folks had teed off on the back and were further backed up. Next we knew, we had another twosome, hitting from the ladies tees, constantly hitting up on us and driving up to the tee box while we were teeing off. Jusy overall no course manners or control. The course was in ok shape but with numerous spots with no grass and/or weeds. When we finished up, we found the lot full and dozens of folks waiting for carts. They were an unscheduled group but were being let on an already overcrowded course. Crowding and lack of oversight made for an almost 4 hour round.

Greens

So we played this course twice before last month and rhe greens were coming up and showing promise. Now the greens are In horrible shape.. THE layout is good and fun

.The fairways are not in good shape either.

More dirt than grass. If you go don't pay top dollar they and get a deal.

Mr. D

I have been Playing this course of and on since it’s opening over 30 years ago. This by far is the worst shape I’ve that I have ever seen it in. Greens full of weeds and very bumpy. Fairways completely dry and brown, very thin grass if any. I haven’t played there in about 8 months or so and I cannot believe how bad it has gotten. If you want to play golf, score and not have the golf course conditions make a difference then don’t bother with the Links. It’s a shame they allowed it to get that bad.
