The Reluctant Golfer: Courses I’ve played (south Tampa)

Here’s a list of the courses I’ve played so far:

Apollo Beach Golf and Sea Club
Buffalo Creek Golf Course, Palmetto
Freedom Fairways, Sun City
River Strand Golf and Country Club, Estuary/Sanctuary courses
Sandpiper Golf Club, Sun City
Stoney brook Golf Club at Heritage Barbour
Summerfield Crossings Golf Club, Riverview
Terra Ceia Bay Golf and Tennis Club, Palmetto
The Palms Golf Club at Forest Lakes, Sarasota

I haven’t been playing long, so I have yet to try many different courses. I started at River Strand, playing only 9 holes. Nice little course. My buddy lives here so it was only $6 a person.

A friend and I just tried Summerfield Crossings in Riverview. A well laid out course that incorporates natural water features. Lots of trees and foliage and water make it pleasin to play. Older gas carts and no GPS, but very friendly people. GolfNow had an 11:45 tee time for about $22 each.

I’ve played 18 holes at Stoneybrook twice. This can be tricky with all of the sand traps and water hazards.

I’ve golfed 18 holes at Freedom Fairways twice; once with a friend and once solo. It’s nearby and very laid back. Usually $25 for 18 but there's a $14 summer special...including a cart!
