Temple Terrace Golf & Country Club

About
Opened in 1922, Temple Terrace Golf & Country Club is one of the oldest courses in the Tampa Bay area. In fact, it's the only 18-hole golf course in Florida that's listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It's the centerpiece of the Temple Terrace community and it's much loved by locals. At 6,443 yards from the back tees, the golf course is short by modern standards but what it lacks in length it makes up for in other challenges. The layout has a traditional design with small greens and tree-lined fairways that demand accuracy. Several strategically positioned bunkers also come into play along the greens. There are some tight spots and a fair amount of tricky holes, but overall Temple Terrace is player friendly enough for all skill levels.

Temple Terrace Golf
The staff is attentive to start and finish times and seeks the folder out to assist. The greens were wonderful and challenging from every angle. There has not been a lot of rain in the area but even the areas that looked dry were very playable. Loved this day of golf.
please turn on the water
Have played here before but poor condition today. Greens ok, some rough patches and very fast, but entire course has taken a turn for the worse. Yes it's hot and dry, but perhaps the sprinklers aren't working? Presumably they are on reclaimed water and should be able to water as necessary. Even newly laid sod squares in various places not watered. Fairways patchy throughout, tee boxes mostly ok. This course is a pretty straightforward, many decades old layout that is not particularly memorable, so if it's also in poor condition, there's not much that separates it from the city-owned munis in Tampa. Disappointed this time but just turn the water on and it should be fine.
Good golf
The grass is staring to grow a little. Greens need a little work to make them really nice. Dry dry golf.
Old school golf course.
Chose this course because of the reviews on GolfNow, did not disappoint👏👏 course is old school, very old traditional style course. Great layout, good tee boxes, great fairways, very good greens, very enjoyable round of golf. Got paired up with three local good guys to make the round fun. Highly recommended🍻👍
Temple Terrace
Thoroughly enjoyed playing this round of golf as we got in done with 4 of us in well under 4 hours. Course was in good condition and the the club house cashier was great and the guys who worked the cart barn as usual were on top of it when we were done..... Will definitely be going back very very soon
review
While it was a bit of a drive from the Port Richey area, it was well worth it. The course was in fine condition, nice wide, close cut fairways, beautiful close cut and fast greens....not too much water to contend with nor an abundance of sand traps......excellent staff that allowed us to tee off prior to a tournament.......
Tampa Golf
Nice course with interesting layout. Greens are very good and tough. Overall, the course needs water.
Fun course
Really enjoyed the course. Greens and tee boxes are in great shape. Amenities were closed because we played on a Monday. Was a little on the pricier side for what it was, but overall we enjoyed it.
Spring Training
Found this course using Tee Off.com. Even though it took us an hour to drive to this course, it was worth it. Friendly staff, even bought carts out to the parking lot. As described in the writeup, the course is mostly flat but that was fine as we start a new golf season. This is a very playable course with little trouble other than the traps around the greens. If it wasn't for the drive from our temporary lodging, we would make this our home course while we spend the month of March in Florida.
Pleasantly surprised!
My 1st time to play here and we all know how weekend play can be in Tampa. S L O W, but not here. Shhh! Well 1st off we were greeted by a cart as we pulled our car in at 12:12 for our tee time was 12:30. There was a super nice gentleman that said that there was no rush but the starter wanted to get us right on out since we were there. We teed off at 12:24 - no wait! We caught the group in front but pace of play was 2:10 on front nine and 2:00 on back. Course was in pretty good shape and the greens firm and fast. Pleasant afternoon golfing with my so in law! Recommend this course for sure!
Fun flat older course, excellent greens, not much water in play. Finished in 2.75hrs. Slower players let us pass.
