Me and my buddy are going out for a trip down to Florida in a couple of weeks, specifically Clearwater. What are some good courses to play around there? I was thinking maybe a little on the less expensive side but any price will do to play since im stuck in about 2 feet of snow here in the northeast!

Lansbrook in Palm Harbor is reasonable. Skinny fairways, water around every par 3 and quite a bit of wildlife living on the course.

As an added bonus the cart girls seem to put in a full day.

Awards, Achievements, and Accolades

Tarpon Woods was pretty reasonable last time I played, palm harbor 20 minutes
Lansbrook is alright, palm harbor 20 minutes
Silver Dollar not a far drive is very reasonable after 3 ($15) and wide open on a good amount of holes, also has a 595 par 5. Odessa 30 minutes

if you want real reasonable try Magnolia Valley in New Port Richey , it's in pretty good shape right now. 30 minutes

Dunedin Country Club (it's public) is pretty cool, used to be the home of the PGA in the 50's or 60's, decent golf course also. 20 minutes

Beacon Woods in Hudson , good course for the money. 45 minutes

also look at "The Dunes" about a 1:15 hr drive or so from clearwater, pretty reasonable, awesome course, super fast greens....vast waste bunkers on almost every hole....tough.

I have played most of the courses in Clearwater, overpriced for what you get in my opinion

I played a few there a couple of summers ago. Real cheap courses. One called ChiChi Rodriguez, cheap, not real busy, no driving range, but decent course. I think it was a Par 68 or 69. Another one is Clearwater CC. It is a CC but was open to the public as of July '06. Read the grain down in Florida.

I played the Silver Dollar a few years ago ,it was pretty nice ,also it seems like it had 3 nine hole courses and you could combine your choice to make 18.

I've played a couple of courses in that general area.

TPC Tampa Bay is a public TPC course in Lutz, FL. It's nice; they used to (and maybe still do) play the Outback Senior Tour event there. But this time of year? Price is probably $200 per round or more. It's nice....but not that nice (in my opinion). I played it in the summer when it was like $90.

Other course that I've played is Bardmoor. It's technically in Largo but Clearwater isn't that far away. It's a pretty nice course; I played it twice and I liked it. It's probably less than $100.

Pretty much any course in Florida, you're going to pay this time of year. But have fun!
