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.

Sweet Candy

This was our "splurge day" for our golf trip. We all wanted to play this. I got tee times for 1pm & the next because the price went down in the afternoon. Lush, plush and velvety greens that rolled true. Sugar sand as well. We loved it & would play this again in a heartbeat. Pro shop was great. Staff was friendly and helpful. Expensive? Sure. But if you're on a golf trip treat yourself to this magnificent place. It ain't a crime to be good to yourself!!

Just fantastic

The entire place is gorgeous, people super nice, played in just over 4 hours, and the course was in great shape. Couldn’t ask for a better way to spend a some time. Good food at the turn. Warm up area is fantastic. Definitely get there a bit early and enjoy the time.

Golf the way it should be played

As a higher handicap golfer I was a bit anxious to play this course, after the first hole I was pleasantly surprised at how much better I can play when you have near perfect course conditions . My ball contact was not influenced by poor grass cover or bare spots even in the rough and putts went where expected on the manicured greens . Congrats to the course maintenance crew. Ranger and other Staff were very friendly and professional. Finished in under 4 hours. Yes for the average gofer it was a bit pricey but you generally get what you pay for.

Fine course but very overplayed

The TPC name has cache and TPC Tampa tries to live up to that The course design, the clubhouse and the staff all try to convey that peek into the professional players domain but the course is just getting too much play. The round lasts well over four hours and the conditions of the greens are beat up from ball marks that are never fixed. The tees are similarly beaten up. Play the course to say that you did but don’t expect the conditions to impress you

Overpriced

Here is my take on this course - if you want decent conditions and a fair challenge, this is a good course for it. That said, you can find decent conditions at a lot of courses. None of the holes on the course, or really any vista or portion of the course made me step back and say, "wow".

Now, I don't expect all courses to wow me, but when I found the cheapest price of the day (not a hot deal) to be $100 less per person than any other rate they had and it was still $159 per player, I do expect a better than average golf experience.

I expect someone to be grabbing my bag from my trunk when I pull up. I expect portions of the course and its design to be truly memorable. I expect some post-round service that makes me want to hang out for a while and continue to enjoy the place. NONE of this really exists at TPC Tampa Bay. It's a very ordinary place, and honestly I could have played a course like a Plantation Palms for the same price almost for our entire foursome as I paid for just one of us, and gotten the same experience for the most part.

The good - the greens rolled well and the fairways were fair. Neither were lush though and had patchwork all over them. The greens were so firm that a 60 degree wedge that I am sure I hit with some spin from 75 yards out released about 45 feet when it hit the green.

I think if the price had been in line with the quality of the course, this review would be much better.

Solid Course, slow pace

The course was in great shape. They just redid the greens, so they are playing very firm, but roll true. Pace of play was not good. They are spacing out tee times every 11 minutes, so you’re basically waiting for the group in front of you on every shot. Makes for a less great experience.
