Zephyrhills City Golf Course
About
Opened in the 1970s, Zephyrhills City Golf Course has been a local favorite for more than 30 years. It is one of the area's most popular public golf courses and its convenient location just 30 minutes from Tampa Bay's attractions makes it appealing to visitors as well. The layout is a short 5,054 yards but it offers a player-friendly round that still has a fair amount of challenges. Water hazards in the forms of lakes and meandering streams come into play throughout the course and the bunkering may be sparse but it is strategically placed. Zephyrhills City Golf Course is approachable for beginners but more advanced players will enjoy it for a quick round of practice.

Be sure that there isn’t a fivesome in front of you, your round will be less stressful and move faster.
I didn’t it wasn’t and it didn’t! What a way to ruin what should have been a pleasurable day.
What I Expected
Course was what I expected based on other reviews. It plays well for a beginner who sprays the ball and isn't long off the tee. The greens were rough and ran slow. Only negative remark is against management; I tee'd off at 730am, first group, and there were tee times until 9am. Then management put out 80 golfers in a shotgun format while we were still on the course. So 12 holes in, there were groups placed on all the holes and now we had to wait...no notice that this was happening, though I came to find out from playing partners that this is a regular occurence on Wednesday and Friday....

Starter and ranger outside and lady inside very nice. Layout can be dangerous on front nine. Only suggestion is have clean water in ball washers. They were not today. Loved playing this "runway" airport golf course.
Good condition
This course is in great shape. Greens run a little slow but are nice. Fairways are good. Overall a good experience .
Great day
Fun day with helpful staff at the course. Pace of play good, greens and tee box in good shape. Recommend the course!!
Save your money
I read the reviews and decided to try it anyway. It's been raining so much I just wanted a cheap place to get out and get a round in. The water drainage was awful and there were standing puddles everywhere. They were so large you couldn't tell if it was a pond or just from the rain. There were virtually no cart paths and that made it much more difficult finding you way around the course. The rough around the fairways swallowed up your golf balls so quickly you'd lose one that should be easy to find.
Bad News
Let me first start off by saying I have a really tough time leaving negative reviews because I feel as though that’s not what golf is about. However, this course is the epitome of a dog track. From the moment I teed off I was met with immediate frustrations. The fairways are defined but not well kept. The grass is patchy and the rough is very overgrown. The roots of the grass can’t be more that 1/4 inch deep, if you attack even a little too deep on the most pristine spots you’ll be digging into sand. The greens are in fair condition but slow. The layout is disjointed and mundane. Honestly this is the only course I have left early because of the conditions. I would steer clear.
Stay home and play on your back yard. It’ll be nicer.
Horribly kept course. Rude employees. Tried to double charge me. I hit 2/3 of all “fairways” but not one time did my halo land in grass. Only dirt or weeds. Greens were horrible and among the slowest I’ve played. Will not be back.
Welp
Was expecting a course in nicer conditions. Tee boxes were almost all dirt. Par 3 tee boxes were sand traps. The greens were in the same condition as the rough. Ended up playing only 9 holes from frustration of course conditions. Still shot a 44 on 9 holes so there is that.

Greeted with alacrity. First tee time .Also I flew around course in 2:05. All greens mowed! Dangerous layout where parallel holes can cause adjoining groups to hit into each other. I had way too much fun with 4 birdies.
Nice course
I enjoyed this course and look forward to my next round there. Staff was very friendly and explained the course layout very well. The hazards were easy to avoid. Met some other nice golfers and the speed of play was good.
