Summertree at Summertree Golf Course

Summertree Golf Course is a public facility located in New Port Richey on Florida's Gulf Coast, roughly 35 miles northwest of Tampa. The course serves the Pasco County golf market, an area that experienced significant residential and recreational development during Florida's late-20th-century growth period. The layout reflects the characteristics common to many Florida courses built during this era, with relatively flat terrain shaped by water features, native vegetation, and strategic bunkering to create definition and challenge.

The course plays through a landscape typical of west-central Florida, where natural wetlands and preserved areas provide habitat corridors alongside maintained fairways. Water comes into play on multiple holes, requiring golfers to manage both distance and accuracy. The design incorporates the region's sandy soil and subtropical vegetation, with palm trees and native grasses framing many holes. Prevailing winds from the Gulf of Mexico can influence play, particularly on exposed holes.

Summertree serves a mix of local residents and visitors to the New Port Richey area, offering accessible public golf in a region with a strong recreational golf culture. The course provides a straightforward test suitable for a range of skill levels, with enough variety in hole length and hazard placement to require thoughtful course management. Its location near the Gulf Coast makes it part of the broader Tampa Bay golf corridor, which includes numerous public and semi-private facilities catering to Florida's year-round golf season.
