Tarpon Woods Golf Club
Rating Snapshot
About
Named after the creek that borders it, Tarpon Woods Golf Club is home to an abundance of wildlife including deer, alligators, turkeys, coyotes, and otters. The layout is not the Tampa Bay area's most challenging but it is one of the most scenic. Formerly Brooker Creek Golf Club, the club changed management and made several improvements to the bunkers, tee boxes, and greens in 2009. It has been a local favorite for more than 30 years. Overall the golf course is not particularly long but the front nine plays longer than the back. Each nine offers a unique set of challenges. The third hole is the longest and toughest with water that runs down the left side. There is also water on both sides of the approach to the green.

Great cost
This is a nice Golf course but it needs one TLC.The greens need to be cut on a more regular basis and fairways need also more care.Overall it would be a great course with proper care.
The price is right.
Poor condition
For me this was a 45 minute drive, one reason why I would not go back, course condition was not very good, fairway in particular, greens on front nine were poor. Staff and clubhouse facilities were fine.

Course is in the best shape that it has been in in 8 years. Still needs work on fairways but green are a major improvement.
Fun Course
The course was a lot of fun to play. The staff was friendly and the greens putted true. I will definitely come back to this course.
The course has made improvements
This course has improved since the last time I played it. The greens were in good shape but were a little slow. I would definantly play it again.
Play was slow as well as the greens
Overall it was OK, they are trying to grow grass on the greens so not cut short making the greens slow compared to the greens of other courses played lately.
Could be better
The course was full and the pace was very slow. There are many challenging holes and the greens are in good shape. However most of the fairways are fairly rough and need work. The staff are friendly and the starter was very helpful.
Course in great condition
Definatly a good value.. Had a great afternoon. Will recomend to friends and family

KEEP GOING YOUR DOING GREAT JOB.

Great course,nice conditions
Nice to play ,fairway need some attention, putting and range very nice. Friendly staff, the food great and good portion.
Good value
As residents my wife and I don't play so much Jan thru' April because of prices. However, at ~$25 this was great value. It's a nice layout, bunkers good, t boxes good, greens certainly playable but will be better in a few months, fairways a bit rough, but playable and will get better.
Good number of golfers playing, but moved along well.
much improved
Played TWGC in the past and course needed attention. It appears it received quite a bit. Greens were in good shape and also the fairways.
Good value
Love the wildlife, great restaurant and pro shop, favorite of mine
the longest round ever !
Played this course a few years ago and couldn't remember all of it ! So booked an afternoon tee time 1.30 ! We waited all the way round ! And finished in the dark after 6.00 ! The course is ok but they let far to many on
Great Challenging Course
One of the Best in the area. Greens needed cutting because they were slow. Beautiful, quiet course!
much better
This is the first time I've played here in a long time and it is much improved. Tee's and greens are in good shape. Fairways are good but a preferred lie is needed as some fairways have bald spots. Rough areas can be very rough but overall it is a very playable course. I always loved the layout and I would recommend giving this course another try if you have not played it in a while.
layout is very good
good value
greens little too slow
fairways could be more plush
