Countryway Golf Club is an executive golf course that is known for its extremely affordable rates. Situated in the heart of Westchase, it is considered one of the best values in Tampa Bay. The layout consists of eleven par-3 holes and seven par 4s. The golf course is challenging enough for more advanced golfers but it is still player-friendly enough for beginners to enjoy. The rolling terrain provides undulations in both the greens and fairways. The hills also make for some challenging putts. There is no shortage of water at Countryway Golf Club with hazards coming into play on 14 holes. There are also bunkers strategically placed throughout.

Golf Now is a Ripoff!

I got one of those “deals.” It was no deal. By the time Golf Now added it’s fees and add on’s, my deal consisted of a $1.23 savings for myself and the other two people in my threesome. Next, one never see a refund from Golf Now and I couldn’t find a phone number anywhere on their software. The only number I found was the direct line to the golf course. I tried to re-schedule to the next week because two of us had just discovered we had COVID. I called the course and they said the tee time could would not be changed. I told them, okay, see you tomorrow and I won’t be wearing a mask. The representative put me on hold then came back and told me the tee time was changed to one week later. I never received a confirmation. I think nothing was accomplished and expect to find out I have no tee time next week. I expect that I have just been robbed of almost $70.00. Golf Now is a terrible company and should never be used by a legitimate Golf Course.

NOT a Fun Time at Countryway

NIce course, but my wife and I were paired with another couple to make a foursome, which slowed us down because the 2 ladies were beginners and us two men were intermediate golfers. Staff were a bit rude in telling us to speed up because, apparently some "PGA golfers" were behind us and they were not happy that we couldn't play as fast as them, so they called the office to complain. It wasn't like we were taking a bunch of mulligans and spending time looking for lost balls. The course ranger would not let the other group play through, so we ended up being so rushed that it was hard to enjoy our round. My wife was upset and just refused tto platy the back nine (so we could go faster). They should go to a different course if they are that advanced in their game. This course is designed for learners, beginners and maybe intermediate players, not arrogant "professionals." Countryway could be a little more understanding about different skill levels of the golfers that come there. Maybe they should increase the times between teeoffs by a couple of minutes; oh, but that would be less profit. In their defense, Countryway gave me a refund for my wife's fee, since she could not play fast enough for the players behind us. Still, we did not enjoy our time there at all. Don't go there if you can't play fast.

It’s ok

The staff are all jerks and not helpful. Seems like they never want to be there, to see you, or help you. I was scared to ask a question because I know how their response would be. They book too many people at a time. I had 4 groups of high schoolers in front of me taking forever, and was backed up for holes. The course condition was not bad on the brighter side. A nice layout. I feel like I should’ve been given a rain check or refund regarding how crowded it was.

$21 Sunday, Not Unhappy

2 groups waiting on every hole. The greens are 2 ft from the next hole's tee boxes, so you're constantly expecting to get hit every time you're teeing off. Expect to hear "Fore!" a lot. Greens we're in pretty good shape and the staff was very friendly and knew what they were doing.
