Schalamar Creek Golf Club

The course is a tight and short step above executive type course. Half of the holes are surrounded by nature and are beautiful , the others are in a nice neighborhood. We had rain for several days before this round. The course does not drain well at all! I lost balls in the fairways and around the green because they were “plugged” in the ground. Standing water on every fairway. I will play there again, but only after dry days and never after the rain.

For the love of God will someone please tell other golfers about golf etiquette and that if you are a slow player to let faster players play through. Took way too long to get a round in because of this. And it’s not this course it’s all over the Tampa area.
Other than that staff was great, course itself is good but greens could be better. Layout is good and a fun course. I will be back soon.

A demanding layout requiring strategic thinking. Must keep tree shots in play & in most cases a 200 yd drive in the fairway will help with scoring. The problem though is the conditions which punishes both tee & approach shots missed. Bare patches, mud & mixture of grasses make scoring extremely difficult. Courses where you have to work your way around ask that conditions be good enough to provide the player with a chance. I didn’t have one putt where crab grass was not in the line & even if you moved the ball, it does not obviate such interference. To make matters worse, the course was wet, lots of mud balls, it was cart path only because of overseeding of the fairways. Hopefully that helps.. Inconsistent green side bunkers some with little sand and some seemingly with new sand. Unfortunately, while I love to play the course again, it would be too frustrating given the course conditions particularly the greens.

This is a course that I have played quite often. The greens were probably in the worst shape that I recall seeing them in, there was quite a bit of broadleaf grass growing on the greens. They had overseeded and the rule of the day was cart path only. Hopefully they’re able to get the greens back in good shape quickly. Probably be a while before I play here again.

Tea boxes were in rough shape. Some of the greens had bare spots on them.

M.any weeds in the greens which made the ball bounce. Cart paths need work. Tee boxes were in bad shape. The fairways were in decent
shape. It was very wet in front of most of the greens

Got off fast. Greens were fast and challenging. Little wet in spots but great overall. Keep up the good work and we'll be back.

The course was so wet, weedy and unkempt it was awful. It was slow too which made it even worse. My husband hit into a par three and the ball landed on the green and sunk! We had to dig it out. There were huge track marks on the fairways from green staff vehicles. The greens were full of weeds or bald. New sections had been laid but we're sticking up like badly fitted carpet tiles. The fairways were either weeds or mud. It was just horrible. The only upside was the nice restaurant afterwards with it's excellent staff. Sorry will not return.

When I say field, I mean I’ve seen better grass in fields or in the middle of i4. The tee boxes, fairways, and greens were HORRIBLE! Don’t waste your money! Reading the reviews from pre-Covid you you would have thought this place was great, but it need’s closed and all the grass replaced.

First time playing. Nice layout for the holes. For some reason the course was very wet. I think they had a sprinkler malfunction, since there has been no significant rain in the last two weeks. The greens definitely need some work. Burnt out spots and crabgrass. Would rate the course much higher if that is corrected.

Great staff! Course play is slow, because it’s inexpensive and busy. Greens are in poor condition but the fairways and course layout are good. I’ve played here before and will definitely play here again.

Don’t go here to practice your putting. When it’s not soaked the fairways are decent. Great affordable place for practice rounds.

Played this course twice last year and was so looking forward to playing it this year.
Unfortunately the course has deteriorated? Weeds in the greens, tee boxes nowhere near as nice as 12 months ago and the bunkers needed a good rake over. The fairways were nice as were the approaches to the greens.
We got a great deal on Golf now so we can’t complain too much. I was not looking for a deal I was looking more for the course we played last year. The staff (starter, Pro Shop catering) were all very friendly and welcoming. I will try this course again next year in hope the get the course back to a good state of repair. Please don’t let this little gem slip to the way side.

Golf course was fun!! It’s sad to see the condition though. Bunkers need sand. Tee boxes need to be cut. Greens were pretty rough. Full of weeds and brown spots! We did have a great time playing though. Very challenging from the back tees!! I definitely would play again even with the conditions.

From the first check in to turning in the cart, the staff was always there to say HI, have a nice day, a good round or whatever. Friendly and welcoming. The course itself is in great shape and well laid out. Greens were running smooth and not too slow or fast. Fairways were well trimmed and well maintained. The driving range is into a pond with floater balls and a practice green allows for a good feel for the greens on the course.

We have played here several times and we’re very disappointed in the courses conditions greens were weedy and bare patches fareways we’re not the best sand traps we’re unkept.we will not be coming back anytime soon until massive improvements are made.

I’ve played this before, really enjoy it. It will challenge your short game and tee box accuracy! It’s narrow! Course was in decent shape, greens could have been better, but for summer play it was good! I’ll definitely be back!
