The golf course has not been rated in the top 10 for close to 20 years. Greens are pretty good, but the rest of the course is getting worse. Many of the fairways are now full of weeds, and sand traps go unattended for a week at a time. While the layout is very good, there are too many other courses in much better shape, so I would skip this one until they improve the fairways and spend some money on maintenance.
It was a challenging but relaxing at the same time. Would play again when I am in the area.
Club was once a class act, but lately it's lonely on the links. Plays like an average public course. No marshalls out there, but at least a snack truck comes by once in a while. Just ok if your usual course has some temp problem.
Course is above average within the Tampa area. Problem is the overbooking of T-times. Then you have the ranger coming by rushing players. Feel sorry for players shooting over 100 because they will get rushed!! Stafff not the most friendly in the area.
Very nice course with well kept greens and fairways.
This was probably one of the most boring, uninspiring golf courses I have played in 30+ years. The course may have been one of the best when it first opened, but there are way, way too many good golf courses to play. Save your money. This is a $25 course, not the over $40 we were charged. Course is ragged and not too much money goes into upkeep of the course. Traffic getting to the course in the town of Brandon was horrible.
I have had to change from my local course to this venue. These guys have been great. I play 2x per week about 50 weeks out of the year (100+ games per year somewhere). I have just started playing this course regularly within the last 3 weeks and they have been very accommodating and seemed interested in making arrangements for the year round players while still accommodating the winter (snowbirds) visitors. I just like the friendly and approving atmosphere. They have little perks that many do not have (free water & snack cart traveling the fairways). The course is challenging and in pretty good shape. Look to continue my relationship and possibly entertain an annual membership with them.
Play here often with friends. Challenging course but not too hard. Friendly staff & reasonably priced.
The course is a decent course but the staff is clueless on how to run the course. I just played the course yesterday 01/01/2013 and there was NO Starter and NO Ranger. When I pulled up to the tee box to start my round the group on the tee box said they were running an hour behind, that is just unheard of to me. When we was FINALLY able to start our round (an hour later) I noticed no one was filling in the divots nor were they fixing ball marks on the greens. Also I had the pleasure of enjoying the unraked and unkept sand traps. On top of all of this our golf cart died with 4 holes to go!Overall I wouldnt recommend this course to anyone.
This course is only interested in how many people they can get on the course. They overbook tee times and will start people on the back in front of you. Don't be fooled by the web site, this course hasn't been rated as a top course in almost 20 years. No ranger, so people will do whatever they want. And Greg the Manager is the worst. He will tell you anything to get you out on the course, and then doesn't care if they pack people in by putting them out in front of you. And the course is really minimally kept up, no new sand in, well, I don't remember the last time they put new sand in, you will see some grass growing. And they wont tell you if they plug the greens, it will be a surprise at full price. Too many other good courses, so stay away.
