Holes 18
Type Semi-Private
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.

Good course, good rate

Course was in good shape, some areas of the fairway still pretty soggy from the watering earlier, but not bad. Course can be challenging if you are not careful

The course needs attention

Overall the course was not that bad for the money. I was not pleased to know there isn't any bathrooms along the way, making it difficult to continue to play if you have to go.The cart pats needs big time improvements.

Greens were terrible.

Fairways, tee boxes and bunkers all in pretty good shape but you almost can't tell the difference between fairway and where the green starts. The greens were very slow which is fine but they rolled so un-true it was crazy. I had putts going every which way as they were hitting pieces of crab grass and other random weeds on the green. Also some of the cups were pretty poorly cut a few actually had mounds so you really had to putt with force. I golf every weekend and usually don't leave reviews but the greens were just so disappointing it really made for a tough round. Besides the greens everything else was great though, layout is a blast.

Course way overbooks the tee times.

Way overbooked constantly which makes pace of play way to slow to enjoy the round.

Course in very good condition but the greens were very very slow. No one sank a putt more than 3 feet. All four of us are 10 handicaps.

Great course for the price point!

It is basically impossible to find a playable course in the Tampa Bay region that is less than $50 a round on a weekend morning. The course conditions are fair and generally the course requires more TLC, but the layout is challenging and I played as the first two ball out and completed the round in sub 3 hours. It is not a links course though, maybe links style ??

Nice Course

The course was a little damp, possibly from rain the day before. Greens were slow compared to what I'm used to playing on, but they were fair. Nice snack bar, friendly people. Would visit again.

Good value

With an increase in the fertilizer budget this course could be soooo much better . And it would be nice if the greens were cut every day !
