Tampa Palms Golf & Country Club

The staff at Tampa palms golf club made me feel welcome from the very moment I stepped out of my vehicle. The extensive pro shop has everything you would need on a golf course and the attendance were very courteous. The practice facilities are very nice, putting green rolled well and the driving range was OK except for the fact that we were hitting right into the sun. My playing partners and I decided to play from the tips which proved to be challenging because of the narrow chutes you have to hit through on several tea boxes. Some of the back tees we’re not in the greatest of shape but that is literally all I could say negative about the conditions. The greens Road phenomenally, the bunkers were plush and well-kept, and the fairways were lush and blemish free. My experience it at Tampa palms was a very good one and I look forward to the next time I get to play the course.

Played this course Wednesday at 10:15 am with the wife and another couple using our Club Corp privileges. The driving range was a bit of a disappointment - very narrow range with nets lining both sides, hitting off mats, and range balls pretty shoddy. However ,once we got on the course, we forgot about all of that. The course is lined with trees / brush and most of the holes are isolated from the rest. The fairways were lush - almost to a fault as you don’t get much run out from your tee shot. This makes the course play longer than the stated yardage. The bunkers were consistent and well maintained. The greens were a decent speed - looked like they were recovering a bit from a recent aeration / top dressing but still rolled nicely. Pace of play was excellent as we played in right at 4 hours even with a couple of high handicappers in the group. I would rate this course slightly higher than East Lake Woodlands North course.which is also Club Corp. Go play if you are in the area!

Very enjoyable round. Private course, we got on through a friend. Outstanding staff, really interesting layout. One of the toughest finishing holes i ever played.

Just played this course 2 days ago and I was pleasantly surprised. The staff were courteous and friendly. The Practice areas were nice also. The course itself was beautiful. Being in a crowded part of Tampa, while you're out there on the course you wouldn't know it. Some houses but not as many as you would usually see on a course in the middle of Tampa. The fairways were plush and it was like hitting off a mat, the greens rolled true and were about a 10.5. Holes were challenging but not impossible, lots of fairways you won't need your driver. Great views and a great course, a must play!

This is a tough, well conditioned course. Play any tee and you will need your "A" game. Good signs from hole-hole; beverage cart; water stations - Greens in excellent shape and FAST - fairways and bunkers excellent throughout - A lot of water in play - Driving range --use matts for irons, excellent putting green, greeted upon arrival, well stocked pro shop - GO PLAY

I joined here a few months back and really enjoy this course and the facilities offered. As a competitive player who has the privilege to play some top notch courses, my standards are fairly high. Tampa Palms has definitely met my expectations. The course layout is difficult and for an errant power hitter, it likely plays difficult than the 73.6 rating (the Golf Advisor rating is inaccurate). The greens are pretty small, so ball-striking is at a premium. The greens always roll very true (usually close to a 10 on the stimp) and are pretty close to tour quality. With the nearly all the wooded areas adjacent to the fairways being swamp, it's imperative to keep your ball in play off the tee as there is no way you'll be playing out of the woods.

As for the staff, the cart staff is great and very helpful. They are exceedingly polite and thoughtful in getting you prepared for your tee time. The pro-shop staff (particularly the 3 professionals), on the other hand, are relatively brief and impersonal. Simply put, they are very short and seemingly not concerned with building rapport with the members and guests.
