TPC Tampa Bay, Lutz FL

Outstanding course conditions and layout. Fairways are like carpet and greens have good coverage and are smooth. Didn’t have a bad lie in fairways all day. Friendly staff and overall great experience. Would definitely recommend and will be returning!

Was very excited to play this historic course. Unfortunately it was very disappointing, greens rolled well but we’re rock hard, bad when the starter advises you to not hit the green on your second shot, roll it it on he suggested. Course was in very rough shape for a TPC venue. I have played 7 courses since I have been to Florida this year averaging $60-120 for 18 holes & cart. Staff were very nice but course was. 4 out of 10!

We're not golfers, but we love the views. My husband took my father there for lunch and insisted that me & our son go to try the food as his experience was really great.
He was correct. All three of us had the burger. There are no words. It was the most delicious burger I've had in years! We will return for the delicious food & views!

I played on Friday with a couple of friends. What a fun course to play. We played TPC Prestancia Stadium course on Thursday and did not enjoy nearly as much. Tampa Bay was in better overall condition and fairway bunkers are strategically played throughout which added aim points for the drive and fun when you found yourself in them. I found Prestancia much more boring of a course. We all agreed that we should have played TPC Tampa Bay on both days.

First a time playing TPC Tampa. Very nice layout with better things to come when all the new turf grows in! Very nice now and will only get better. Chad was awesome getting us checked in!

For years, TPC Tampa Bay has been regarded as one of the best public access facilities in the Tampa market. After all, whenever the letters TPC precede anything to do with golf, expectations are automatically raised, and TPC Tampa Bay delivers. In mid-September 2022, TPC Tampa Bay reopened to rave reviews. For the most part, the outstanding design that Weed and Rodriguez created was left intact. The greens were regrassed with Champion G-12 hybrid Ultradwarf Bermuda, the tees and fairways were regrassed with Bimini Bermuda, and enhancements were made to the practice facility. Extensive work was done to improve the drainage throughout the course. For General Manager Steve Ostroff and his staff, it’s all about a “Return to Glory” and bringing the club back to what it once was.

TPC Tampa Bay is extremely diverse - not only has it challenged the best golfers in the world, but every day it is played and enjoyed by golfers with abilities that range from future professionals to those who are simply on vacation. TPC Tampa Bay offers golfers six sets of tees to choose from; the TPC Tees play 6,898 yards. From back here you can get an idea of what the pros experience. At 6,008 yards, the White Tees provide a lot of enjoyment and may even let you leave with a little dignity still intact. For those that may feel overwhelmed, try the Forward Tees at 4,990 yards. Pick the set that best suits your game and you’re sure to have an enjoyable round.

TPC Tampa Bay winds its way through an upscale neighborhood in Lutz, FL and as you make your way around the golf course, you can tell from all of the mounds around the greens and on the peripheries of the fairways that this course was built with spectators in mind. Heritage Golf Group is determined to bring professional golf back to TPC Tampa Bay. The 2022 Finals of the PGA TOUR Champions were held here, and the intent is to bring it back in the upcoming years. It is the perfect venue for what many regard as one of golf's most difficult competitions.

The course is set among natural wetlands with strands of cypress trees and several manmade and natural lagoons. The majority of holes at TPC have generous fairways that leave manageable shots into the green. Miss the fairway off the tee and you can easily find one of many sculpted fairway bunkers that dot the landing areas. Most of the greens are raised, placing a premium on accurate approach shots. Hit a poor approach shot and you can easily find yourself in one of the many grass swales or in the mounding that surrounds many putting surfaces. The greens themselves have a lot of undulation; many have multiple tiers and are usually protected by bleach-white bunkers. The difficulties around the green will give you a new appreciation for a PGA TOUR player’s short game!

There are several risk-reward opportunities and if you ever feel overly challenged on a particular shot, odds are there’s a place where you can bail out and still give yourself a chance to make par. TPC requires you to think your way around the course, for the most part, it’s brains over brawn.

TPC features some amazing practice facilities as well. Since they are a daily fee property, those playing the course are welcome to use any part of the practice area before or after their round. If you’re looking for a place where you can work on your game, TPC Tampa Bay offers a Practice Facility Experience pass which provides you with access to the driving range, short game area, and putting green for the entire day. Get there early to get the biggest bang for your buck!

Played here while on vacation from Michigan. They had recently put in brand new greens, you could tell, very firm and in great shape, not as fast as you would think for how firm. Course was in great shape overall and a lot of fun. Challenging but fair. Got to meet PGA champions tour pro Jim Thorpe while there. Staff was amazing, especially the guys in the proshop.

I played TPC yesterday and here are my thoughts.
Staff-amazing. The guys in the shop, bartender, cart staff, etc. Great people. Very friendly.
Course-I played with 2 members and they said the course was recently shut down and they redid some areas. The greens are firm and fast. Fairways are pretty good and the layout is good. I’d give the day a 4.5 but would error on the side of higher than lower. Price- I paid 170 and for peak time is about right. I would not pay 250 though.

Came down from TPC Toronto to play and amazing course and had a great experience. Staff were nice and friendly, I would highly recommend this course to anyone in the Tampa area.

New turf has really brought this course back! Greens and fairways were super. Bunkers were also great shape, trust me played from many!
Thanks for the great day

Being from Iowa, this is one of the best courses I have ever played. It was in great shape and every one was very friendly! Pricey, but worth it! I will definitely play again!

Really not worth $165 plus tax. I expected more for that price. I will say the the staff was helpful and professional. The range and practice areas were great. The clubhouse was nice. The course just wasn't all that. I would not play again because of the cost to play.

$165 for an $65 course. Although lots of rain before I played, heard they just resurfaced the entire course so I'm sure they will get there again one day. Been 10 years since I've played this course and it will probably be another 10 years. My suggestion, save your money and go somewhere else.

We enjoyed our round today so much we played an additional 9. Our experience was first class from the pro shop (great selection and fair prices… although I spent way to much!). Tto practice facilities and the course. The course has recently gone through a renovation of the greens. They were firm but I could still hold the green when hitting from the fairway. The greens rolled true, when you hit your line they rolled in. When I was out of position, in the cabbage, it was penalizing! The staff was great and I will definitely play there again.

Not worth $177 a round. Some holes in worse shape then a municipal course. Extremely overpriced for the shape the course is in.

Our group was greatly disappointed in TPC Tampa today. I had anticipated this round of golf for 2 months while planning our vacation for these first 2 weeks of October. Staff was friendly and helpful. Practice facility is top notch. Tee boxes were a 3 out of 5. Grass was pretty thin in spots. But more importantly there were quite a few which were not flat. It took some effort at times to find a level spot to t up. Fairways were generally ok, however there are lots of places where the turf is very dry, thin and unplayable. It's a shame at the rates they are charging that you have to move a ball that should be on turf that is in the fairway because it's sitting on burnt grass sand lie. The greens were rock hard. If they just redid these greens 2 months ago I would hate to have seen what they were like before. Never could get a ball to check had to play most all holes a club short and let it roll out. I'm a 6.8 HDCP, I do know how to get a ball to stop from 100 yards out. A lot of the hole cups looked ragged (see pictures). For a "TPC" course My fellow players and I were very disappointed.

Worst TPC in the USA. Renovations were not good. Course was a swamp and 1” of sand on greens but still charged full price. Very disappointed.
