Countryway Golf Club
About
Countryway Golf Club is an executive golf course that is known for its extremely affordable rates. Situated in the heart of Westchase, it is considered one of the best values in Tampa Bay. The layout consists of eleven par-3 holes and seven par 4s. The golf course is challenging enough for more advanced golfers but it is still player-friendly enough for beginners to enjoy. The rolling terrain provides undulations in both the greens and fairways. The hills also make for some challenging putts. There is no shortage of water at Countryway Golf Club with hazards coming into play on 14 holes. There are also bunkers strategically placed throughout.

If we’re talking strictly about course conditions, then I give it 4 Stars. The greens roll fair and aren’t too patchy. Some holes are worse than others but most of them aren’t bad. The tees are nice and the fairways are lush but roll. But if we’re talking about everything else, this was one of the worst rounds I may have ever played. WARNING DO NOT PLAY THIS COURSE ON A THURSDAY. I have no idea why golf now would ever let me book a tee time 10’minutes after a huge league goes out. I understand it is an executive course but that’s all the more reasons to not allow play after those leagues. This course barely breaks 3000 yards on the entire 18 and it took me nearly 4 1/2 hours to play 14 holes. I didn’t even finish my round because daylight was running low, and I honestly was just tired of waiting. I really wish I hadn’t have used my promo code on this. Pace of play by everyone Was so slow. I would spend about 5-10 minutes on each hole and 20 minutes waiting for the next two groups to tee off on the next hole after we finished the previous hole. It was a complete waste of one of my promo codes and unfortunately I don’t think I will ever return to this course. There was no one monitoring anything going on on the course. Some of the holes didn’t even break 100 yards, but there were a couple of decent holes. I’m not trying to completely trash this course because like I said, it was half way decently kept, but my experience of my round was completely unsatisfactory.
Charged 2x
Arrived at course and were informed the Golf Now reservation did not go through. We paid the greens fees @ the course.
Received an additional convenience fee to our credit card from Golf Now for $5.35, which we have disputed.
Not worth it, even if it’s inexpensive
We played many years ago and remembered it being a good experience, and a short but cute course. Unfortunately, it was a bad experience this time around. It was so crowded everyone was on top of each other. Since the pace was super slow, we had somewhere to be and had to leave after only getting in 9 even if we paid for full18. There is only a portable bathroom on the front 9, which is ridiculous, so we held it until we got back to the clubhouse. We were also so thirsty and thought there’d be a beverage cart driving around being that they had so many customers playing, but no. We finally went to fill our empty water bottles at a cooler but it was empty, meaning not empty of water but there was no cooler/dispenser even in the box. The fairways are OK but greens were in poor shape. We weren’t impressed. The staff was friendly, but otherwise it was a waste of time and money, even if the rates are low.
It’s cheap but jammed packed! Carts/people all over the place like ants. If you like a, very, very slow pace of play (takes 4hrs to play a round) then I wouldn’t recommend this place! Next time I’ll spend $5-$10 more and have a pleasurable day. Last time playing this course, like they say you get what you pay for.!!
A lot of fun
Played with three members Anthony, Barry, and Harold and had a fantastic day playing with them. Course conditions were good the only downside was that some of the tee boxes were beat up. A really fun course to play though. Would recommend the course for play.
Challenging exec course
Slow pace - lots of twosomes and singles but staff was great and good course to practice short game. Par threes mainly with some fours. Even though the holes were short, they were challenging. Recommend the course, especially for the price.
Challenging short course
Great practice course for your short and long irons but lots of beginners so slow pace of play.
Slowest round of golf I've ever played. Took 5.5 hours to play 18 on a short par 3. They way overbook their tee times and act like there's nothing they can do about it.
Unbelievable
Total free for all. No marshal or starter so everyone is just going out whenever. At one point, I pulled up to #5 to find that my group was 3rd in line on the tee box while there were another two groups already out on the hole. Gave up after 9 holes
Good Value But Slow
Much too slow......frustrating. We left after 12.
