Best in Tampa ? .. maybe so

Since I've played all the top courses in the Tampa Bay area I am asked which is best ? ..well .. World Woods was #1 before Cabot bought it and now it's under construction and not open ... Saddlebrook/Saddlebrook is now the #1 Public Golf Course in Tampa Bay and vicinity . The facility and course conditions are magnificent and even if you didn't play golf and just to rode around Saddlebrook is worth the day out . The course is lined with the most magnificent trees in all of Florida and no other course in Tampa Bay is so awesome just to be on . PLAY this course and you'll see why Saddlebrook/Saddlebrook is the #1 Course in all Tampa and you'll thank me later .. P.S - The Palmer Course at Saddlebrook is not this review so remember to book Saddlebrook-Saddlebrook ONLY !!!

is there a more fun course ?

Brooksville CC is a West Coast favorite and those back 9 holes in the quarry are some (if not) of the best in Florida. Now that the rain has come back to Florida (finally) golf course all over are looking good and Brooksville CC looks lush and green all over .. hooray for water .. fairways are super and the overall course has perked up .. and lots of rain has saved the Golfing in Florida .. best conditions in years .. Brooksville CC is a top 5 must play on the west coast of Florida and right now is the perfect time !!!

Beautiful Fairways !

Front nine has no trees ? .. I have never seen a golf course look like someone rolled out a grass carpet and said .. here you go ! .. WOW .. but the Fairways are super and thus I was kinda feeling like I was on the moon and there was a Golf Course added !! .. the Back nine has Trees everywhere and looks like a regular Golf Course with those magnificent fairways too .. first time I have been here and I will be back .. lots of great fun here front and back !!!

I love this course

Great course and very long. All courses hurting from lack of rain in Florida but still Sugarmill doing better than most and fairways are basically fine. Dollar for dollar this place is great. Drive 30 miles to play Sugarmill 4 times/month .

Bring your driver !

Sugarmill Woods is a great layout and a long course . Great value here and I play all Tampa Region golf courses thus LISTEN UP ... the best value and best courses are NORTH of Tampa/St Pete and Homosassa, Fl has three of them .. World Woods (now Cabot Citrus Farms), Citrus National and Sugarmill Woods are all top ten NORTH REGION along with Glenlakes, Brooksville CC , and Lake Jovita. For those of you who can drive up the Veterans Expressway to see what good golf is like under $50 .. Congratulations .. if you can even go farther to Homosassa Springs and play the wonderful Plantation at Crystal River then you too can WAKE UP to great golf in the NORTH TAMPA REGION. I have given you the Top Ten under $50 in all Tampa so GO NORTH and thank me later . Sugarmill Woods is outstanding . (Saddlebrook is great too)

Long course Bring your Driver !

Played Sunday March 26 for the first time . This is a long course so be prepared . Lots of 400 yard plus holes and lots of fairway shots of over 200 yards plus . I really liked this course for the shear fact it was LONG .. so many golf courses under $30 dollars are short mostly IRONS type but not here .. open golf course with very few trees but what a great day to let loose and get out those fairway woods . Fairways were very nice and the greens were great . This was a fun course and I was totally caught off guard by all 18 holes and those manicured fairways .. I will be back .. CAN'T WAIT !

Best residential Course in Tampa

Finally got to see and play Glenlakes . This is a Private Club just north of Weekie Wachee . Glenlakes has just opened to the General Public and you better put this on your "must play" bucket list ASAP ! .. nicer course than Westchase in Tampa which was my #1 Residential Course . Glenlakes is just a great place and great course . Since all the Top 10 Golf Courses in the Tampa Bay Region are North of Tampa/St Pete/Clearwater it seems right that the newcomer (Glenlakes) fits right in. World Woods , Saddlebrook , Lake Jovita and the incredible back 9 at the Brooksville CC are my all time favorites .... courses like Westchase and Glenlakes are drop dead gorgeous and such a delight to see and play ... so ... my conclusion is this ... If distance is a problem I understand however remember .. If distance is not the factor and you play any public course besides those mentioned in this review YOU must ask yourself .. why ? .. when you could of seen and PLAYED any one of the finest courses on the West Coast of Florida .. Congratulations to Glenlakes for letting the General Public see and now play one of the GREAT COURSES for the Tampa Region Golfer !

World Woods never disappoints

Best two (2) Golf Courses in Florida . King is King .. Rolling Oaks and Pine Barrons at World Woods . Some of the greens on Rolling Oaks are still frost freezed from February however the course is still magnificent . Played Westchase and Saddlebrook and World Woods is still #1 . Westchase is #2 and Saddlebrook-Saddlebrook is #3 . Lake Jovita is #4 . All others are mediocre at best except Brooksville Country Club who is #5 in the Tampa Bay region for Public Courses .
Make no mistake ... these are your ONLY choices .. unless you go Private !

WOW .. very upscale Golf Course. . is there a finer facility in the Tampa region ? .. NO . I rate this up with World Woods , Lake Jovita and Saddlebrook as the top three courses in Tampa Bay for the General Public !!!
