University of South Florida Golf Course - The Claw

This course needs a billion dollar donation to save it. No clubhouse, no ice available, no building to house the falling apart golf carts, therefore they were covered in dirt/dust. Better than average port -a- potties. They are losing the only good thing they had going for it, the greens. Dusty, dry, fairways. Will not be returning to this course.

Need a lot of work. Cart not clean tee off full pf broken tees Greens in poor conditions looks like they do not want this course to stay open

The city of Tampa and "Mayor" Castor should be embarassed to call this a golf course. The only thing she cares about is getting her manly face on tv. No grass anywhere. Greens are like concrete. What a mess !!!!!

I saw the reviews and they weren’t very good prior to going there. I played college golf there back in the late 1970s. I haven’t been back to the golf course since I live up north. Only paid $22 to play. The condition of the golf course was awful. I would think the university would have more pride in the golf course but apparently not.

I played college golf at USF in the late 1970s. I hadn’t been back since then but I am on vacation so I decided to go back to the course just to reminisce. I read the reviews prior to playing and they were not good. I paid $22 to play. The clubhouse was closed they just had a trailer where they had two people working. The golf course was in terrible condition but I didn’t expect much for $22. Although the layout is still very enjoyable the conditions were not good at all. I would think that the university would have more pride than to let the golf course deteriorate to it’s current condition.

I have played many times at the Claw, the course just isn't what it used to be. The pro shop is non-existent, and the condition of the course is awful. When you have to move the ball on the green to avoid moon-like divots and bare patches it really kills the vibe.

Greens were okay. That is all. Even the golf carts were filthy

This course is always challenging. Stategy is the key to success. A few of the greens needed improvement as well as most of the tee boxes.

I had heard good things about the course, so I was surprised at the poor conditions. Fairways were the best feature most were green and well kept. Tee boxes where a real miss and some greens were in horrible shape. Biggest disappointment was area around greens especially elevated greens. The banks where all rutted up and no grass. I like the old course layout and while some holes where tight, it was fun course was to play, would be very fun to play if conditions where better.

Course is in horrible condition. The cart was so far out of alignment had I not had experience and a novice drove it they would have crashed!
