The pace of play was disgusting. A foursome 2 males and 2 females teeing off on #1 tee box took a good 35 minutes to play #1. The back up for the 1st tee was 5 groups. Moving to #2 tee box the same foursome was in the fairway just off the green . We are group #4 behind this group. Now there is a group in the fairway , a group on the tee box and 3 groups behind us waiting to tee off.
What is even more disgusting is the starter was notified of this group and that they had already been a hole behind after finishing #1. The group continued their slow play and holding up the good course. There was no regard for the other golfers waiting to play. By the time we reached #14 groups were going around them. It took 1 hour and 45 minutes to play 5 holes due to this group.
I would not recommend playing this course. This is an on going issue on this good course. Plus the course deteriorating rapidly, bare spots on greens, grass in fairways spares, tee boxes full of bare spots.
No excuses for the slow play.

Unfortunately one foursome totally caused a horrible round of golf at this course. Beginning on the #1tee box this foursome spent 45 minutes on the 1st hole. One lady took 2 shoots off the tee box and on her next shoot took six hits before moving just off the green and three putts before finally exiting the green. Moving to #2 tee box, this group continued to play slow. They were just off the green on their 3rd shot, one in tbe fairway, 1 group in the fairway and 3 groups waiting to tee off.
By now you figure they are not going to speed up play
The course was informed of tbis group playing slow, but no one from the course attempted to send the ranger out to speed up play. It took one hour and 45 minutes to play 5 holes of golf. Two of the holes were par 3's. We did not finish the round and at least 5 groups went around us heading to the clubhouse knowing they were not going to complete playing their round, as we did not either.

The courseis nice. The problem is golfers jumping on 10 to start their round. This creates a backup. It is the same foursomes. Thus has happened at least 4 times to our group from these 4 guys. The pro shop has been notified each time yet nothing has changed.. over booking an issue as well. Sad sad sad!!!

USF should be embarrassed to call this course their course.
The greens are nothing more than sand, the fairways match the rough (horrible), the buildings are in ruins, The carts are in terrible condition and have been raping the students and public of funds. It is time someone either shuts the course down or begin to renovate the facility. EMBARRASSEMENT IS BEING KIND.

They are working to improve the course and only time will tell if this will payoff. It is a good course, very slow play, but has a good layout and challenging holes.

Course is in excellent condition, fairways, tee boxes and greens. The outer ares of the rough could use some TLC.
We have been playing here for several years and the course is definitely in beautul shape this year.

We have enjoyed playing Tara in the past. Friday the course was in terrible condition. Course maintenance non, grass growing on cart paths. Weeds all along the edge of fairways, greens have clover, water grass and bare spots.. Basically no maintenance.

The course isan average course, but very reasonable. The pace of play is ridiculous.

Enjoy this course, good lay out, good fairways, good greens (not great), the rough needs cleaning up.

This is a very nice course if they would clean up the lakes, rough and sand traps.

Heritage Harbor held a junior event this day. The allowed 30minutes before allowing paying golfers to tee off. The course did not inform patrons this event was going on. During our round we waited every hole, there was no one ensuring these group were not holding up play are moving at a good pace per hole and leaving regular golfers stuck sitting and waiting and unable to complete our round of golf. Poor management of the grounds during this event. Inform your patrons when you are holding special events.

For a public golf course it is in fairly good condition. The greens are not especially fast, but does roll true.
The pace of play is fairly good.
The course amenities could use some improvement. The pro shop had very little stock. The area for getting drinks was very weak.
