The course is very well organized and maintained. The route sticks to the outer edges so there is little interference if anyone is using the ropes course or pavilions. The signage provides clear directions but the back 9 can be tricky to find if you don't know to walk I to the woods after hole 9. Once you look down the road, the tee for 10 states right in your face.
The course has concrete tee pads and quality baskets.

I know it's Florida but being a riverfront Park still overly influences the amount of water on the course. The front 5 are easily flooded out after some good rain.
The tee pads are quite a bit shorter than most courses.

Overall a quality course with excellent maintenance. A solid course for an both an avid player or a beginner.

Very nice park setting. Front nine winds around a semi-open area, making good use of trees and staying outside picnic areas. Back nine is a little more wooded, including many palmettos, but still has well-defined super cool fairways. Good flow/easily navigated. Not overly long for this old man's arm, so nailing your line gives birdie opportunities. That makes for a good fun vs. frustration ratio. Decent shot variety, helped by two pin placements on quite a few holes and good signs describing the hole layouts. Baskets getting older, but are in fine shape. Excellent drainage for being so flat and close to the river, never had a standing water issue. However, when the river rises, 4's basket and 5's tee can be submerged. Great local solution: play 4 to basket #2 and use teepad #3 on hole 5.

I'm giving extremely small deductions for these cons, but they added up to a point way from perfect. Concrete tees are a little short and several lack much room for run-up(otherwise in good shape). Pro players would likely want greater distance. There are picnic tables near quite a few holes, but I suppose you can nitpick for benches, bag hangers, trash cans. No elevation to speak of, but hey, it's FL. Which reminds me: bring bug spray in hot weather.

This is a fabulous park for being so close to Tampa. The Hillsborough River is beautiful here, close to holes 1-5, but not really in play. Hole 14 has a small water hazard to the left of the fairway that I didn't expect, so beware fading left just short of the basket. The "USF-only" rule doesn't seem to be enforced here, but I haven't played here enough to say that conclusively. It's worth a try to play this gem of a course.

Combination of deep woods and trees, with some water elements, as well as a few hills. Great tee blocks and baskets. Now they have a few alternate pin placements (10) that are very challenging if you have not played it in a while. Print the map from online just as a guide, but overall very easy to navigate.

A little muddy down by the water but that is to be expected. I would recommend to wear a nice shoe with good treat or you will miss a par put like I did and try and blame it on the mud.

Very friendly and helpful group of guys out there who gave us some tips and invited us back every Sunday. I have only played 3 courses, but I sure do love this one the best!

Very clean course with good signage. There is a huge difference between the front 9(open) and back 9(wooded). I love this because it is an easy play for amatuer players and with its tight lines can still be a challenge for advanced players

Its not a very lengthy course, so big arms might have to hold back a little. You also have to be careful on the first for holes. Dependant upon the time of day there are a lot of non dgers walking through.

nice course with florida flora. a bit sunny, and some holes circle a big jungle gym looking thing. clean park and empty when i visited.

private course. not 100% navigated, but can fake it to find the next tee.

the reviews and description of this park made me weary of trying it. i was in the area and gave it a shot. asked at the front desk, they said we werent supposed to be here, but said play on!

so if you are in the area, give it a try. at most they tell you to get lost.
