Located just north of Tampa in Tarpon Springs, Crescent Oaks Country Club sprawls across rolling hills dotted with sparkling lakes. The narrow course has a traditional layout that was carefully carved from dense woodlands, making it a challenging test. The lakes as well as a meandering creek come into play throughout the golf course. There are also a few strategically placed bunkers along the greensides. The par-5 10th is one of the most memorable holes with an elevated green and a ridge cutting across the middle. Par is considered a good score on this tricky hole. The golf course finishes with a par-4 dogleg left that features water along the entire left side of the fairway. The green is also protected by sand on the right and water on the opposite side.

Pace of Play

Liked the layout
Fairways and greens were good out lining ares could use some TLC
The pace of play was nit the best 20 minutes behind tee times appeared as if there were some first time golfers playing and didn’t quite understand the game very well
There was a ranger after noon that helped pick up the pace but even with the slow play it was a good experience the staff was great and the pro shop was well stocked
With just a little more grounds maintenance this could be a top course in the area

Fairly nice, minor problems

Overall, the course was in pretty good shape. My only complaint be the greens were not holding any approach shots. A few fairways had some rough spots but nothing horrible. So my only suggestion to them would be maybe work on your greens soften them up a bit and it would be perfect.

Course needs work !

There are just so many areas of this golf course that need work. Tea boxes have been shrunken down as it seems to find one area that you can hit off of. The greens are in terrible shape, and roll as if they have not been cared for in quite some time. They could use a good rolling and putt very lumpy.

Too many singles

As a 2 ball we were keeping good time but kept having singles chasing us down. Why can't the proshop pair people up? Greens small. Tees in poor condition. Played better courses in better condition for the same money in the area.

Cresent Oaks Mid-April 2023

Greens had been recently fertilized and didn't really impact the putts. The greens were perfect! Many of the tee boxes needed some maintenance. The course overall gets a passing grade, though there are so many great places to play for a little more out-of-pocket.

Greens are fantastic but slow pace of play

Course was in good condition considering the dry weather Florida is having at the moment. Pace of play was ridiculous almost 5hr but it was Good Friday public holiday. Would try again to see if the pace of play improved any on a midweek day.

Greens are fantastic,

The fairways were pretty dry due to the recent lack of rain in west central Florida, however, the greens were excellent. Nice course layout, fair but challenging. The practice range is pretty good. Staff is friendly. Excellent food in the clubhouse pub. Overall, and excellent value.

Course was great

Visiting from up North and played here. Course was in excellent shape and greens were perfect. Well worth the money. Gas carts were brand new and super comfy. Not your average cart, these are super nice.

Book now

My buddy from the Northeast visited for 8 days, wanting to play as much golf as possible. We played six different courses. I rank Crescent Oaks a solid No. 2, trailing only Fox Hollow, which costs $25 more. The Pro Shop staffers were extraordinarily friendly and knowledgeable. The practice area has everything, including a bunker. The course is in excellent shape with true putting surfaces. And you travel in brand new golf carts. Book now. .
