TPC Tampa Bay can be as challenging as the golfer wants it to be. But be prepared to pay the price for taking the risks. Located just a 20-minute ride from the Tampa International Airport in Lutz, TPC Tampa Bay is open to the public seven days a week. A Bobby Weed design, TPC Tampa Bay is part of a network of courses owned and operated by PGA Tour Golf Course Properties. The fairways have subtle movement and weave through lakes and natural wetlands - 19 in all - and around strategic bunkers that number 81. The greens are large (averaging 6,400 square feet) and undulating, and most are open in the front, offering golfers the option of hitting run-up approach shots. There's a clubhouse and a fully stocked golf shop offering a complete line of equipment and apparel from the top names in golf to complement the course.

First Visit “Will Be Back”

Booked a twilight tee time, staff was great showing me around when I showed up early to take advantage of the great practice facilities. Got paired up with 2 members who were very welcoming and fun.

2 - years post renovation/re-grassing I was impressed with the course conditions in its “Return To Glory”. A few greens are a little beat up but not a big deal, didn’t have a bad lie in the fairway or rough all day long, tip my hat to the new superintendent.

Course is the worst TPC property I've played

The starter and pro shop staff were so upbeat and proud of the fact that this course had been updated with new greens and teeboxes just six months ago but the greens were in really poor shape with bald spots, painted green sand, and varying speeds on every green. We were told by the staff that the Stimpmeter was running at an 11 but it was lucky to be at a 9 unless you were rolling your ball over a bald spot which may have hit an 11. Besides the poor condition of the greens, the pace of play was ridiculous as it took us 5 and a half hours to finish a round on a Thursday mid-morning tee time. The staff were extremely slow to respond to slow play and the marshals were non-existent. We called the pro shop twice to help but got no action and finally when the cart person caught up to us we had her call in and finally someone came out. I have no problem paying for a great course and I definitely wasn't put off by the $289 for a round at a TPC because of the usual top notch standards at these flagship courses, but the TPC Tampa Bay was an embarrasment to the TPC brand and a total joke. This was a completely disappointing experience overall. I'd be upset if we had only paid $100 for the round but considering we paid $289 for the round it was an absolute ripoff. I've played many TPC courses and have always been satisfied with the experience but this course is completely mismanaged and in really poor condition for the price. The management team in Ponta Vedra Beach needs to make the four hour drive to Tampa and figure out how to get this course fixed. STAY AWAY AND DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY!!

Over priced

Arrived at the course early to hit the range. The range looked like a mine field. Only 10 spots to hit on the whole range. What was left was dirt to hit off. Got to the starter at 2:05 for my 2:13 tee time. Zero communication from him about who I was to be paired up with. Ended up going off at 2:20. Course conditions were average, but not worth 160 dollars. Too many golfers on the course who sucked. Waited on every tee box. Saw the beverage cart 1 time ion hole 3.

They need rain

Like most Fla courses, they have lots of brown and bare spots.
Nice driving range, balls included. Surprised they had so much play, considering the high prices .

Excellent layout and challenges .. But heavy traffic

You can tell it gets continuous traffic from all of them ball marks and fairway digits. But it is a memorable TPC layout and offers many course length or tree options.

TPC review

I had a wonderful day at TPC, the course was in wonderful condition and everyone was so friendly. The only down fall was it took 6 hours to play and it was very very slow but other than that it was a wonderful experience.

Greens were very shaggy.

I’ve been playing TPC Tampa for about 20 years when I visit Tampa. The course is a shadow of its former self. Greens are ripped up by spikemarks. Bunkers are way too soft leading to multiple plugged lies in the faces.

One of my favorite places to play in the area is now one that I will skip going forth.

Just so-so. Nice greens

I liked this course, but there weren't too many fancy or unforgettable moments. Just a nice course with nice greens. Price was pretty steep and they didn't pair me with anyone - really? Make me play by myself? In season though, still not many people on the course. I don't know - I'd come back if there was an event or a HUGE discount on next round.

Let down

First TPC course I’ve played and it Was a let down. Certainly Not worth the $170 afternoon rate. Design of greens was the best part but the grass could have been in better shape. A few greens had bald spots. Fairways were good. Traps had nice sand but were maintained like a common public course. Pace of play was brutal. Waited on most shots. 4:30 round. I’d play it again for $65 but not again at $100+. Hope we can find something better for tomorrow.

Not worth it.

The greens are like cement, full of divot’s very disappointing. The fairways weren’t much better. Overall I expected better for the 165.00.
