The course winds through acres of lakes, woods, conservation areas and upscale residential communities. In addition to earning a 3.5 star rating from Golf Digest, Westchase was one of only 100 courses in the nation to receive the Great Value award for combining both the golfing experience and value.
East Lake Woodlands
At East Lake Woodlands, play on two championship 18-hole, private golf courses that sweep scenically around massive trees and shimmering water. Play the South Course, where no two fairways adjoin, or the North Course, a Von Hagge / Devlin masterpiece that avid golfers seek for its constant challenges.
The Eagles
The Eagles boasts 36 holes of the most challenging golf in the Tampa Bay area. The Eagles and its golf holes remind one so much of islands – islands of tranquility, islands of wildlife, islands of verdant green and islands of golf. Noted golf course architect, PGA Tour professional and ESPN commentator Gary Koch, and master architect Rick Robbins of Robbins / Koch Golf Designs are responsible for the unique new nine – The Islands.
