Westchase Golf Club (813-854-2331)
Florida Golf Course Review
Westchase Golf Club in Tampa is Clifton/Ezell/Clifton championship design that has been awarded 3 1/2 stars
by Golf Digest Places to Play, and is the centerpiece of the Westchase master-planned community. The course
features large manicured greens (averaging more than 5,000 sq feet) surrounded by natural wetlands, wooden
bridges and bulkheads, as it traverses terrain that winds through acres of lakes and woods in the midst of an upscale residential community.
On property is a modern, full service 9,500 square foot clubhouse, that includes a fully stocked pro shop, locker
rooms with showers (towels and toiletries are available), and dining room/lounge that affords great golf course
views. Banquet, special events and meeting rooms are also part of the complex - making Westchase an ideal
spot for outings and parties. There is a large putting green, short game area for chipping and bunker practice,
plus an aqua driving range with a floating green. Lessons and instruction of all variety is offered through the pro
shop. With these fine facilities, it is no wonder Westchase is recognized as one of Tampa Bay's finest upscale golf properties.
Golfers will find the state of the art GPS, standard on all carts, to be efficient in providing accurate information
from tee to the pin. The full color, 3-D graphics monitor also features hole diagrams and indicates yardages to
and from the various hazards along the layout. 100, 150 and 200 yard markers are also visible on the fairways,
and sprinkler heads are measured to the center of the green. The par 72 layout features 3 sets of tees ranging
in distance/slope from 6710 yards/130 slope, 6233 yards/123 slope and 5205 yards/121 slope. Water comes
into play on 11 holes in the form of ponds or marsh areas - which host abundant native wildlife. 54 sand bunkers also dot the layout.
Located in Northwest Tampa, Westchase provides the golfing public with an opportunity to enjoy an affordable
golf experience, while experiencing country club conditioning and service. Rates in 2005 top out at between $65
and $84 during prime time. In 2003, the property was honored by the National Golf Foundation as # 8 in the
country for customer satisfaction! For more info on this fine golf facility, visit our informational page for Westchase, with a direct link to their website, by clicking here.
