Roll Call: Tampa Golfers

Heading down to Tarpon Springs area next week 20-26. I have only ever played Wentworth while down there which was meh. Any courses I should be looking to try as a single?

Would love to join if anyone is playing that week.

I just booked 2 spots for myself and a friend at Dunedin on Monday 3/21, 10:34 tee time. I’m down in this area for spring break most years. We played here last year and really enjoyed it. You’re welcome to join us.

I am in. Thanks for the invite. I will send you a DM.

Who is going to the Valspar Saturday?

I’m going on Friday

looking for golf course recs in Tampa/Sarasota area, annual family trip to Siesta Key in April, the new Streamsong tee time rule for resort guests only is killing the vibe! We’ve made day trips up tgere the last 7 years. don’t mind traveling 1.5-2 hours, is World Woods Pine Barrens worth the trip? anyone know how the condities are right now?

Played it with @DrJ last month, thought it was absolutely worth the visit. Pretty good shape (much better than what others had warned me about), very cool layout. Definitely doesn’t feel like Florida and it really lives up to the ā€˜Pine Barrens’ name.

I’m coming down to Tampa for a wedding in a couple of weeks and looking to get in a round while I’m in town. Do you all any recommendations of courses that would be worth checking out not too far from downtown? Thanks in advance for the tips!

If you belong to a club wherever you live, have your pro reach out to St. Petersburg Country Club. My family has a place in St. Pete that I use 2-3 times a year and SPCC normally can fit me in if I / my pro give them enough notice when I’m coming down.

Public / GolfNow you can probably get on at Westchase Golf Club. I’ve played there a handful of times and it is solid for the value. A little more target golf as some of the par 4s force you to take less than driver.

I played there in January and loved it.

How was Jovita? Been about a year since I played it? Cannot wait for rates to start dropping as temps rise!
