Clearwater/Tampa Florida - Vacation LETS GOLF!!!!

[grubby98]

Forum,

I love golfing as I am a member of this board.  I will be on vacation OCT 11-15 and hope there is someone in this area that would like to meet up and go golfing.  Price doesn't matter, and I will buy lunch before/after.  I don't mind playing alone, but love to meet someone new that knows the areas best courses.  My fiancée doesn't golf, so was going to send her on a spa/massage/mani/pedi day while I went golfing.

Let me know if you want to join up, meet up, or if you have suggestions on a cant miss course while I am down there.

P.S. This will be on of my final rounds before I have my hip surgery, so no golfing for a few months!!

Hey there,  Sorry I don't live in Florida but I would offer a couple course suggestions.

If you have the ability and time to get to Streamsong Red or Blue, they are some of the finest courses I've played in Florida.  Its about 60min to 1:20 minutes from Tampa airport.  Its a resort so the fiancee could enjoy a spa day while you play some amazing golf... but be prepared to walk as its heavily preferred that you walk not ride. BTW its a bit on the pricey side but you won't be disappointed.  The drive to the course may leave you scratching your head as its in the middle of nowhere!

For a value course thats also about 60 min from Tampa is Sarasota National Golf Course.  The value for this golf is really good and the few times I've played it they have discounted my rates when I mention I'm an out-of-towner and member of a Troon Course in Colorado.  Earlier this summer my junior and I played 18 w/ cart & 2 logo'd balls for $35.  They didn't charge me for my kid.

The best course in Tampa I've played is the TPC Tampa.  Its what u expect for a TPC course.  It will run you about $100 this time of year.

North of Tampa is the World Woods Course.  I've never played but I've had it recommended by many locals and visitors to the area.  I think its around $50 this time of the year.

Hope this helps and get to Streamsong if its in the budget and can fit your itinerary.

Where are you staying?  I may be up for a round, depending on work and whether my wife has plans for me on Columbus Day!  Let me know!
