Northdale Golf and Tennis Club is a community golf course that winds you through the adjacent neighborhood. There are houses on both sides of the fairway on almost every hole. Most courses in Florida are like this and it’s more uncommon to play a course with no houses. There is a good mixture of open fairways, like hole six, and some [...]

Looking Forward to the PGA Tour’s Tampa Bay Championship
This week the PGA Tour comes to one of the Tampa Bay area’s best golf courses, the Copperhead at Innisbrook Resort in Palm Harbor.

Golfer’s Grail Provides A State-of-the-Art Indoor Golf Experience

Heritage Harbor Golf and Country Club Can Test Your Patience
Getting to back to Heritage Harbor Golf and Country Club for the first time in over a year, I wasn’t sure what to expect. My biggest problem with this course is the pace-of-play and sand trap conditions so I was eager to see if these had improved. For this visit, most of the course was [...]

No Change is Good at Cheval Golf and Country Club
I played at Cheval Golf and Country Club last week, almost exactly one year since my last visit. It was like I had never left. What I like about this course is that it doesn’t change. It is consistently excellent and lives up to its reputation as one of the best private/public courses to golf in [...]

Lights Are On At Terrace Hill Golf Club
Terrace Hill Golf Club is a practice facility and nine-hole executive-style course. What makes this facility stand out is that it is fully lit. Not lights for just the driving range, but also for the nine holes. You don’t often see golf courses with lights, and this is the only one in Tampa [...]

For the Love of Golf
My Dad taught me the game of golf 40 years ago. Some of my best memories growing up, and as an adult, are on the golf course with my Dad. He was a good golfer, but even when I was younger he would never let me win. As I got older he [...]
