About

Holes 18
Type Public
Par 72
Length 6210 yards
Slope 131
Rating 70.6

Tampa Bay Golf & Country Club is a Scottish links-style layout that is routed through sparkling lakes and carefully preserved conservation areas. The challenging layout features narrow tree-lined fairways and water hazards on all 18 holes. The front nine is short and tight, which contrasts nicely with the longer and more open back nine. Overall though, the golf course is not particularly long by modern standards. It is a shot-maker's course, requiring both accuracy and skilled iron play. The course has a challenging finishing hole that sums up the best elements of the course. This par-4 is a sharp dogleg right with a slew of bunkers and a pond to reckon with. The hole borders a nature preserve, making it the prettiest and most challenging hole on the course.

Beautiful greens tough track

Course meanders thru a housing development. Fairways and greens were good but some traps were poor. Play was 5+ hrs. Maybe I hit it on the wrong day. A real challenge to finish with the same ball you start with.

Fun Course

A nice executive course to start the golf season out for my wife and me. Had an opportunity to use irons and even my driver on a couple of holes. The price was right as I booked on Golf Now. Hope to play the 18 hole course before we leave at the end of March. Will play the executive course again.

Good for age group

This course seemed to be in a 55 plus community and the holes seemed fairly short. The greens were not fast, not slow and very inconsistent from green to green. The pace was slow, the course was very boring and after 5 holes we walked off. We like challenging courses and this was definitely not one of those. Lots of houses that come into play if you have errant tee shots.

Great course for Beginners

This course was great for practice on your irons, not good for putting. Maybe the 18 hole course is better because I only played on the 9 hole overall good price . I recommend they work on the putting area on the 9 hole course .
