I played Heritage Harbor this past Sunday 8/2/15 inbetween the raindrops. The course drains well considering we have been having flooding in and around the Tampa Bay area for the last 2 weeks. greens where in good shape, fairways had some standing water but that was to be expected. Cart paths only probably for sometime into the near future. For the money its a really nice course and well maintained. The food there is also good. Breakfast, lunch and dinner. Course prices range from a $10 golf now special to $40 full price green/cart fee charges, all of which are worth the cost.

My wife and I played Quail Hollow this Sunday 5/17/15. Course was in great shape and greens were rolling true. There were a couple of green that were splotchy and were obviously being repaired but all in all the course was in great shape and the employees were all very nice and helpful. Cart girl was good and got us three times as we played 18 holes. I would recommend this course to anyone in the future.

All in all Links at Lake Bernadette is a very nice course and I would recommend it to most anyone. Me and 5 other buddies played it this past weekend and they had just recently sanded the greens and they were a bit rough. Some better than others but the course would have been perfect had the greens been in better condition. I rated it average this time around but in a couple weeks I'm sure it will be a overall Good rating.

My wife and I played Silverado this Saturday and the course is in very good shape. Fairways were well groomed and the greens were in really nice shape. Putts were rolling well. They are doing a very good job keeping the course in good shape. Pace of play was fast also, we played 18 holes in 3 hours and 40 minutes. I would recommend this course if your in Zephyrhills, FL.

I would really like to give Silver Dollar a higher rating as the course condition was fine and they layout if nice but the gun range right across the street makes some of the holes not so enjoyable. I don't need complete silence to golf, my buddies are talking the whole time anyway but constant gunfire is a bit much when your on the golf course. I would probably not recommend this course to anyone although the course itself and the staff are good.. Just didn't enjoy the whole round due to the shooting range that is attached.

I played Smokey Mountain with 3 other friends this past Saturday and the course is in great shape, staff was friendly and food and drinks were good also.

I would not hesitate to book a tee time there if your in the area. Course is playable for all level players and is just plain fun.

We will certainly be going back on our next trip to NC.

This course is a well maintained fairly short course but it has some holes that will allow you to pull out the drive. 4,019 yds from the blue tees, 3549 from the white and 3001 from the ladies tees. Its a nice course to play if you can't afford to take 4-5 hours out of your day. It can be played in 3-4 hours fairly easily. Club House has great pricing on balls, shoes and almost everything and Richard in the clubhouse is a great guy and seems to be there every time I am there. They have an aqua range if you need to hit a few balls to warm up and all in all its inexpensive and fun. I would recommend this course to anyone.

My wife and I played the the Saddlebrook Course at Saddlebrook Resort yesterday and it was in bad shape. In fairness to Saddlebrook we have had quite a bit of rain in Tampa lately and its hard to keep fairways trimmed and things groomed when you can't run the equipment over the soaked fairways and greens. That being said the course just looked run down and old. They are not on top of maintenance there and it shows. I am glad we got a ridiculously low rate on Golf Now because if I would have spent even $40-80 to play there I would really have been disappointed.

I would not recommend the Saddlebrook Course at this time. They have another course there but we did not play it so I am not sure if that course may be in better shape.

Too many really nice courses in Tampa and the surrounding areas to recommend this one.

Staff is very friendly, the starter was helpful and friendly. Both courses, Pine Barrens and Rolling Oaks are both in fantastic shape. Pretty impressive for the middle of July in Florida. I would highly recommend World Woods to anyone. We booked on Golfnow and it was very inexpensive. Loved it!!
