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.

$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.

Overbooked overbooked overbooked

It’s cool to have a decent short course close by to play but what good is a decent short course when the starting tee has 6-8 carts waiting to start. I’ve played this course many, many times and I like it. I’m just glad I was only charged 3$ online and the rest was due at the course and there was no way I was going to subject myself to even try and play. Coming down waters ave and entering the parking lot you can see carts at tee boxes, fairways and greens on a few holes. The course is already small then it’s ridiculously overbooked. I play this course on a regular and can knock it out in 2hours max. But with the overbooking I’m sure I could play TPC faster than countryway on that day. Needless to say I put my clubs back in my trunk and went to the range

Holy wait time Batman!

This gem of a short course is the last place I’ll ever go on a weekend ever again! Don’t get me wrong, my wife and I enjoyed the course! However, you should break out the tequila and do shots each hole. It’s a party course with player music, yelling, disrespectful green behavior, and the longest wait times I’ve ever seen. It took 5 and 1/2 hours to play this short course. And that was with us skipping over 15. The average wait time between holes was 7 to 10 minutes!!!! The course was $18 and every child, teenagers, and party atmosphere 20 something plays on the weekend. Next time we try and random weekday.

Backed up.

This course way over books itself. We started at 2 and couldn’t finish before dark because they booked way to many tee times and had to wait in a line of at least 5 carts every hole.

STAY FAR AWAY

Be ready for no “fore’s”, pace of play sucks. Course conditions are below average. And be ready to wait every single tee box for a minimum of 10 minutes. STAY FAR AWAY
