TPC Tampa Bay
About
TPC Tampa Bay can be as challenging as the golfer wants it to be. But be prepared to pay the price for taking the risks. Located just a 20-minute ride from the Tampa International Airport in Lutz, TPC Tampa Bay is open to the public seven days a week. A Bobby Weed design, TPC Tampa Bay is part of a network of courses owned and operated by PGA Tour Golf Course Properties. The fairways have subtle movement and weave through lakes and natural wetlands - 19 in all - and around strategic bunkers that number 81. The greens are large (averaging 6,400 square feet) and undulating, and most are open in the front, offering golfers the option of hitting run-up approach shots. There's a clubhouse and a fully stocked golf shop offering a complete line of equipment and apparel from the top names in golf to complement the course.

Was a nice coarse. Staff very friendly & helpful. Started sooon as I pulled up to drop my clubs off.
Good day spent at TPC Tampa Bay
This was my second round at TPC Tampa Bay. The course itself has not changed much, which is a good thing because the layout is pretty simple and straightforward. Green complexes were in good condition and rolling pure. Several fun holes, including 17, a challenging par 3. Overall, it’s worth the trip if you’re visiting Tampa area.
Hello. Thank you for visiting us at TPC Tampa Bay. We appreciate your 4-star rating and review. We hope you join us for another round soon.
2:05 tee time. Front 9 was a little slow. Back 9 horrible. There was zero rangers out managing pace of play. Stuck on hole 15 for 25 minutes waiting to tee off. Some random single came out of nowhere and joined the 4 some in front of us. We left after that. Absolutely the worst run golf course I’ve ever payed. Will not play again and will never recommend this course.
Thank you for taking the time to review and leave feedback on your recent round with us. We would like to apologize for any inconvenience you experienced. Your feedback is extremely important to us. It is always our utmost goal to provide our golfers with a fun and enjoyable time and apologize if we missed the mark.

Solid Track, just a bit overpriced.
In town visiting for work and was recommended this course by a friend. The course itself was in good shape but lies around the greens were iffy. I paid the twilight rate of $120 which I thought was fair but I don’t think it’s worth the $220+ they charge for earlier rounds. I’ve played much nice courses for this price range. Overall I would still recommend for an afternoon round.
Hello. Thank you for visiting us at TPC Tampa Bay. We appreciate your 4-star rating and review. We hope you join us for another round soon.
Would have rated higher but the greens have a lot of growing to do. Was like putting on concrete and could not hold the ball on the approach shots.
The locker room needs attention busted doors, sinks and showers a mess.

Back and Better Than Ever
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.
Recently, the best got better! Originally opened in 1991, TPC Tampa Bay was designed by renowned golf course architect Bobby Weed with a lot of input from PGA TOUR professional Chi Chi Rodriguez and has consistently received a 4.5-star rating from Golf Digest. Florida Golf Magazine claims it as one of the top 5 courses in the state. For more than twenty years, The Champions Tour held an event here. Some of the greatest players of all time have won at this historic property, including Nicklaus, Watson, Price, Langer, and Irwin. Yet with all of these accolades, the owners – aka the new Heritage Golf Group -believed there was room for improvement. So shortly after the busy Florida golf season ended in late April, TPC Tampa Bay closed for renovation.
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.
Picking memorable holes at TPC is like trying to pick a favorite child, but the three I remember most are 14, 15, and 16, which are handicapped as three of the toughest holes on the back nine. Number 14 is the beginning of the “Gauntlet.” It’s a monster par 5, dogleg left that plays 588 yards from the TPC Tees. There’s water down the left side and the deep, cavernous bunker between the water and the elevated fairway can spell disaster if you find it off the tee. A tee shot slightly right of center will leave a good angle into the green. You’ll need to hit your second shot over the strategically placed fairway bunkers on the left to have any chance of getting on the green in regulation. Two well-played shots will leave a short iron or wedge into a narrow two-tiered green protected by sand on the right and water on the left.
Number 15 is like Number 14, a dogleg left with wetlands and a lagoon framing the left side. The hole plays 452 yards from the TPC Tees and a good drive short of the fairway bunker on the right will leave a mid-iron into an odd-shaped green, well protected with sand and water left. It is rated the toughest hole on the inward 9 and the 2nd most difficult hole on the card.
The 16th hole, handicapped number 8 is a beautiful but devilish par 4. You’ll want to favor the right side of the fairway to avoid the two large fairway bunkers that seem to attract most tee shots down the left side. Be careful not to go too far right or you’ll have to deal with the cypress trees on your second shot. Hit a great tee shot and the bunkers short and right should not come into play.
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!
After your round, golfers can dine in the TPC Grill and enjoy a variety of delicious entrees and signature cocktails. General Manager Steve Ostroff and his staff are doing their best to create awareness of TPC Tampa Bay and its relationship with the PGA TOUR Champions. The Club pays tribute to the 2022 PGA TOUR Champion Qualifier winner Rob Labritz who has a wedge salad named after him. The Labritz Wedge is served with ranch dressing because Rob is not a fan of bleu cheese! The menu also includes the Kuhlman Club, named after Head Golf Professional Donnie Kuhlman. Feeling thirsty, order the “Krane” and take home the signature cup. The new “Krane” logo appears on a lot of apparel in their well-stocked pro shop.
TPC Tampa Bay is a must-play for all golfers and if you are visiting Tampa, come to the place where many of the greatest players of all time have played. TPC Tampa Bay…. play it once and you’ll come back for more. For more information or to book your next round, visit their website.
TPC Tampa Bay is owned by Heritage Golf Group, the fastest-growing golf club ownership company in the country. Their attention to detail at their clubs is second to none. To see some of their other courses, visit them online.

TPC Tampa a Fair Value
Greens were hard but true. Fairways in great shape. Green fees were fair for mid January. One note - their transfusion drinks are tasty but $21 for a double

TPC Tampa Bay is a great Track
My first time at TPC TB. The course was in great condition and the weather perfect. From arrival to departure, the staff was friendly and accommodating. After our round, we had a drink and snack in the restaurant and the food was very good. I'll be back!

TPC Tampa Review
Surprised for the amount of money you pay, that they make you not only pair up with someone but the issue was making you ride in same cart as a stranger, who ended up being sick

Terrible greens
Fairways and tee boxes were in good shape. Rough and greens are what I would expect a $20 course. It’s more like playing on dirt. They were very inconsistent and I would give it at least a year before trying again.
Hi! Thank you so much for leaving us with your feedback. We value our customer experience, so your review is important to us. Please know the current conditions are by no means the standard we strive to achieve. We will continue to work towards a 5-star experience and we hope to see you back!
