A really tough Championship test. A great use of a rather flat piece of land. Probably the best collection of Par 5’s that I’ve seen. Despite being so close to the Gulf, it really has the forest feel of an Augusta. Hole 6 (Sidewinder) is my favorite.

How we rank
This ranking uses each golfer’s conditions rating, on a 0.5–5 scale. Conditions is the golfer’s overall conditions score, or the average of their greens, fairways, tee box, and bunker scores when no overall was given. Every golfer counts once per course: repeat rounds are averaged first, then the course score is the average across golfers. A course needs conditions ratings from at least 5 different golfers. Ties go to the course with more golfers, then the higher Course Vaults score. Only open courses with a published Course Vaults score (at least 5 explicit ratings) are eligible, and a page is published only when at least 5 courses qualify. City pages include courses within about 25 miles of Tampa, so nearby suburbs can appear. Rankings refresh about hourly.
