Designed by Lloyd Clifton, Westchase winds through acres of lakes, conservation areas and forest. It offers manicured greens surrounded by natural wetlands, wooden bridges and bulkheads. With its 9,500 sq. ft. clubhouse, full-service dining room, and fully stocked pro shop, Westchase offers a country club atmosphere along with first-class service. The golf club has established itself as one of Tampa Bay's best upscale golf facilities. The front nine meander through an impressive pine forest. The back nine -- which is demanding on the tee shot -- features lakes, wetlands and cypress. Strategically placed bunkers, more sparkling lakes and stands of cypress, oak, palmetto and pine frame the fairways and greens. Signature Hole No. 3, at 212 yards from the back tee, is all you can handle -- It's a Par 3 all-carry over water from the back tee!

Average course

The course is challenging, and the layout is good. The greens were bumpy and not very well developed. Just average would not overly recommend.

Westchase GC

We played Westchase GC last Sunday.
This golf course is certainly one of the nicest GC in Tampa Bay area, and for several reasons:
1/ As soon as you arrive, their crew is welcoming you very nicely
2/ The staff in the Pro-Shop is very professional and makes you feel at ease
3/ And this is the most important part:
3.1/ the course is beautifully designed, and almost all the holes are very challenging
3.2/ they did a lot of work recently on their bunkers
3.3/ the fairways are in exceptional condition
3.4/ even if the greens have a lot of marks they are really true
We have been playing many golf courses around Tampa Bay, but Westchase is certainly one of our favorites.
Regards.

Challenging but fun

The course was very busy but the club did a great job of keeping things moving. All the employees i encountered were very helpful and friendly.. I’m a high handicap so some holes were a little challenging but I’d still recommend this course to all my friends.

Train Wreck

The pace of play is very slow on this course, but we had a 7 group pile up on hole 14. Carts were wizzing passed us with angry golfers calling it a day. I managed to drive back to 10 and play up to hole 16 when it was blocked solid again. They really need Rangers/Marshals on this course.

Wonderful Westchase

Course was in very good shape. Tee boxes, fairways and greens were consistently among the best we have experienced during this Florida trip. Would recommend this as a Tampa area "must play course". Generous fairways and large greens. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Played 18 in 3 1/2 hours.

Less Than Expected

Don’t expect a lot from this course. No variety in holes, every hole is surrounded by marsh like trees and shrubs, greens are spotty with no true roll. I played with my wife who is new to golf so it was okay for this setting. $245 for two rounds and bucket of balls. For that price, there has got to be something better.

Most overpriced course I have ever played

Course conditions were laughable for what they charge… $100+ for a round and I have seen punched greens with less bounce. Fairways are decent. Bunkers have never been touched basically just sand boxes. There is a reason they barely have any course pictures on the website…. I would say the course is about a $25-$30 round of golf. I really don’t even understand how they charge so much, was close to asking for a refund at the turn. Local muni par 3 courses are in 1000x better shape. SAVE YOUR MONEY

Nice course, I've played it several times. Greens roll true could be a little faster. Great bar and pro shop. Plan on playing a few more times this season.

Pleasantly Surprised

After reading reviews from December and January, I was a little concerned as there were several that indicated bad greens and bunkers with lots of bad areas on the fairways as well. I saw NONE of that! The greens were in great condition and really fast/challenging! The bunkers were dry and raked. No indication of any issues on the fairways. The staff were incredible and the awards for friendliness are well deserved!! I look forward to playing again in the near future! Great value for the money!

Overrated Course

I found this course overpriced for the condition its in. Very little fairway grass. It’s more sand and dirt. The bunkers are not trimmed. The greens are horrible. The greens look good until you try to putt. The speeds are inconsistent. This is a 40.00 dollar course at best. The neighborhood is fantastic. On a positive note, the girls at the bar make fantastic mix drinks.

Plus, they allow 5 and 6-somes which were ahead of us. This created a very long day. Obviously, there is not a golf marshall to stop this kind of play. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS COURSE.
