Best Golf Courses in the Tampa Area<\/h2>\n

Copperhead Course at Innisbrook<\/a><\/h2>\n

This course at the Salamander Golf & Spa Resort should be your first and maybe only stop on any golf vacation. They are award-winning and have the honor of hosting the<\/span> PGA TOUR’s<\/span> Valspar Championship<\/span><\/i> each March. The course is challenging and impeccably kept with amazing wildlife all around to add to the unforgettable experience. Watch out for the “Snake Pit” on the final three holes and curious fox squirrels looking for a bite to eat. The unique design was created by architect Lawrence “Larry” Packard.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Pro tip:<\/strong> This course has tight fairways and lots of trees being precise with your shots is key. Also, make sure to book your tee time well in advance.<\/p>\n

Club Renaissance Sun City Center<\/a><\/p>\n

This course has a par-72 design and is great for all skill levels. The front nine holes are known to have large fairways and open greens, while the back nine are a bit more challenging. There is water throughout the course to play over and around and gorgeous trees everywhere that have stood the test of time. The course is exquisitely manicured and perfectly playable.<\/span><\/p>\n

Pro tip:<\/strong> We suggest making sure you take the time to warm up and booking your tee time here well ahead of time.<\/p>\n

TPC Tampa Bay<\/a><\/h2>\n

This award-winning course is fun and just the right amount of challenging. Designed by Bobby Weed and Chi Chi Rodriguez this unique course goes in and out of wetlands, lakes and woods. It is a great course for all levels and has been recognized for its playability and beauty. This course is often considered the best public course in the Tampa area.<\/p>\n

Pro tip:<\/strong> Pricing can vary here depending on the day and time, so we suggest checking ahead and also looking for package deals. Twilight tee-times often offer a good bang for your buck. Also make sure to book early!<\/p>\n

This club offers two championship style public courses, each unique and challenging, you will want to play them both! Water comes into play on almost every hole on the Lakes Course, so be ready. <\/em>However, with well kept Bermuda greens and large driving areas you can’t go wrong.
