About this course

Belmont Golf Course is a public facility located in Lynnhaven, Florida, designed by the team of Clifton and Ezell. This partnership, known for creating accessible daily-fee layouts throughout the southeastern United States during the latter decades of the twentieth century, typically emphasized playability for a wide range of golfers while working within modest construction budgets. Their designs often feature straightforward routing that takes advantage of natural Florida terrain—relatively flat land punctuated by wetlands, native vegetation, and the occasional elevation change created through strategic earthwork. The course at Belmont reflects the character of northeastern Florida golf, where sandy soils provide good drainage and allow for year-round play. Layouts in this region typically incorporate water hazards as both strategic elements and necessary stormwater management features, with native grasses and palmetto scrub defining playing corridors. Clifton and Ezell's approach generally favored wide fairways that reward accurate drives without severely punishing mishits, making their courses popular with recreational players and local leagues. As a public course in the Lynnhaven area, Belmont serves the regional golfing community with accessible rates and a straightforward test of golf. The facility caters to a mix of residents, tourists, and regular members who appreciate traditional Florida golf without the formality or expense of private club membership. The course provides a representative example of mid-market public golf design from its era, offering a playable round in a setting characteristic of the coastal Florida landscape.

Getting there

The journey to Belmont Golf Course begins at Tampa International Airport, roughly forty minutes to the southwest, where travelers transition from the urban pulse of the bay area into the quieter residential corridors of Pasco County. The drive north along the Suncoast Parkway gradually softens into tree-lined local roads, the landscape shifting from commercial sprawl to the low-key, Old Florida character of Lynnhaven's inland neighborhoods. As you approach the club, the surroundings take on an unhurried, almost timeless quality - a fitting prelude to a round at one of the region's understated golf sanctuaries.
