great course

One of the best around the area. I brought a friend in from out of town and he really enjoyed it. Pace of play was pretty slow and cart with drinks would have been nice to see more often.

Still a gem

World Woods is still a gem. Great layout and challenge. One of my favorite places to play with 36 holes. Beautiful scenery and wildlife all around. Turkeys, Deer, and Hawks. You will use every club in the bag. Tees for all players abilities.

Nice course with great Par 3's

Great layout with variety of club choices from all tees. Choose wisely though as the fairways are narrow and the rough is tough. Neat tees with some feeling like you are coming out of a chute. So control ball flight left to right and up and down. Love that about the course. Par 3's were my favorite thing about this course. Not too long but very challenging from the back tees. Everyone working here was very friendly and helpful especially the lady in the grill room. Great conversation and incite to history of Club and direction they are trying to go. Will definitely be back again!

Still a great venue

Still a great venue. They just di punch the greens which made it tough to putt but you still have to hit the shots. We had a foursome in front of us that seemed to want to wait entirely too long to hit their shots but still enjoyed our round.

One of the best around!!!!

One of the best Golf Courses around the Tampa Bay area if not the best. Great challenge with enough tees and length to your ability. Choose wisely. It can be longer then it seems. Try to remember where you enter the property off of Route 41. This is the direction that most putts seem to want to go. Beautiful golf course and scenery. Great staff and well worth the visit.

Worst conditions I've ever seen this course in!!!

I have played this venue many times in the past. It has always been one of my favorites. I have always been a great marketer for this place. At least try to get there once every month or two. When I went last weekend I couldn't believe what sorry condition the South course was in. Staff not very friendly at all in pro shop either. I have heard that from many others in the past also. The course looked like it was under watered, dry and bare greens, and very poor overall condition. Not sure about the North Course but I will not be back until I know the course is in much better condition. What a shame. I only wish that I had taken pictures to show what it has been in the past and what it is now. Soooo sad!

Grest layout and test

My second time playing the course. First time it was not in the best of condition but I loved the layout. This time, in much better condition due to new ownership I heard. Layout with houses far from fairways gives the course an open feel. Undulation of fairways and holes with elevated greens and tees will test your club selection. Reminds me of courses from up north. Greens were in much better condition then when I played it last. Very friendly staff. Great value for the money. It can play long if you would like it to from the back tees.

Great, challenging, and beautiful golf course.

Very challenging and beautiful place to play. Need some course knowledge on a few holes so listen to the cart men when they give you direction on certain holes. A definite must play.

My favorite Golf Course

Best course in the Tampa Bay area. Challenging and beautiful. Very undulating and plenty of bunkers make this very much like playing a northern course. The par five 16th is one of my favorite and most picturesque holes around. You kind of hit a blind tee shot and then when you drive over the hill of the fairway, boom ! The awesome looking dog leg left very challenging par 5 is absolutely astounding. Also, plenty of wild Turkey around to see.

Grest layout and test.

Really great layout and test for any golfer. Fair tee placements and everything can be seen from the tee that needs to be seen. Plenty of bunkers to challenge and plenty of undulation in the greens. You will use all of your clubs. Greens roll great and are pretty quick. Excellent practice facility. However, I am not a fan of water driving ranges.

I drove 1 1/2 hrs. to play and would drive further to play again. Absolutely one of the best course layouts I've played since I've lived in Florida. I will be back!

This course has some of the best risk versus reward shot maker holes I have ever played.

Great golf course. Beautiful layout. Very fun to play if you choose the correct set of tees for your ability. For your first time playing, I would suggest playing the set forward of where your pride thinks you should play. Definitely a course that you need to pay attention to the GPS if you have never played it before. I will definitely be back. A true golfer's golf course. If you love to play and want to play a true test, " a must play." I would love to have this course closer to my home. It will make you a better player.

Great for a shot maker and shot shaper.

Not my style of course but nice layout . Could stand to clear out tree room for the back tees. A little too tight for my liking. Overall a great test.
