As much as I hoped to give this golf course a better review, the service experienced in the golf…read morepro shop warrants a lower rating. As a guest, I was invited to play with my colleagues. The upfront experience was good. However, the attendants did not seem to appreciate guests visiting their course. We were a diverse group of professionals and fairly skilled golfers. We respect the course and the game. Cannot be sure why some golfers were warmly greeted while others seemed to annoy the very same employees. Was race and/or gender an issue? This experience put a huge damper on the whole day and still causes me concern.

If you really want to hear about it, the first thing that depresses you about playing golf down in…read moreTampa is the sheer amount of phony Florida golfers that are v anity handicaps the second is the sunshine sticking to everything like warm glue and beating down on you constantly for ten months. Back home in New York, when I hit a pure 2-iron off the deck, the cold air bites your face a few months out of the year and lets you know you're alive, but out here at Heritage Isles Golf & Country Club, you're just sweating through your shirt before you even tee off. ​It kills me, it really does. I carried an 8.7 handicap at the time, not that I like bragging about it, because as soon as you start getting good at something, if you aren't careful, you start showing off, and then you aren't good mentally anymore, yiu can become a jerk, so I figured I'd try to tear this place apart from the back Gold tees at nearly seven thousand yards. But Florida golf is a different playing experience from the northeast. Half the course is built right over some swampy wetlands, and every single hole has water sitting on it, waiting to swallow up a perfectly struck draw that a little unnoticed invisible wind gust just ate. Water holes are like a godly must here, every hole has some and its depressing and weird. You hit a tight, beautiful shot right down the fairway, and suddenly it hops off this sticky Bermuda grass and disappears into a ditch where an alligator is probably sitting around pretending to be sleeping, but ready to go full on prehistoric if you get too close. ​The par-3s are long as hell, too. You get up to sixteen, playing almost two hundred and thirty yards over water and swamp, and all these old guys in pastel polo shirts are standing by their carts giving each other advice. It's phony as a three-dollar bill. Here's my advice for them "stop talking so much, just grip it 'n rip it". They've got these wooden footbridges everywhere connecting the fairways over the marshes, and you rumble your cart across and over them feeling like you're on some staged safari tour watching bad golf, instead of playing a serious round. ​I ended up shooting a seventy seven, which made me feel pretty depressed because I missed a six-footer for birdie on eighteen after cutting the dogleg over the lake. The green was fast and smooth enough, I'll give them that, but the whole setup just makes me miss northern turf. If you're a low handicap stuck in Tampa, it'll test your short game and keep you honest, but the endless palm trees and country-club phoniness will make you want to call up somebody and go grab a drink instead.

I would love to play this beautiful course but sadly was limited to watching the Annika Golf…read moreTournament for the week. We walked the entire course which is something I don't ever do when I play and it really is perfectly maintained. The LPGA Players are amazing and cordial and we had an amazing time.

The Pelican Golf Club is a private membership club. It is an absolute jewel in the quiet enclave of…read moreBelleair, Florida. It was a delight to encounter employees who clearly love their jobs, and want you to enjoy your time golfing, dining or exercising. The facilities feature the most up to date technology for both golfing and exercising. There are two on site restaurants. One is a bistro style eatery, open for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The best grits and bacon I have EVER had! The other restaurant, The Albatross, is a sexy, high end steak and seafood spot. I'd put the meals I've had there up against any famous big city dining establishment. The lodging for out of town guests may be one of my favorite amenities. The finishes, the decor, the comfort ... the luxury! There is nothing else like it in this area of Florida. Though I am not a golfer myself, I do know that the greens are immaculate enough to host an annual LPGA event. Should you be lucky enough to be invited by a member to visit The Pelican, it is an invitation you should accept!

Before you have time to say anything she meets you with attitude. It's almost like her goal is to stop you from playing. Our first time here she almost didn't let us in saying we needed to be there 30 minutes early to check in (We were 40 minutes early). Greens were in great condition. Great pace to play and overall the courses themselves are lovely.

Dues are low and you don't have to live in the neighborhood to be a member. There are many awesome things about this place. For instance, if you arrive in a golf cart, the bar will give you a to go cup for your drink. The restrooms have combs in barbacide, grooming products and Listerine. Classy.

Pros: Convenient location, easy access with plenty of parking on one of the oldest courses in the area. Carts were in good shape, ride quiet and smooth. I was paired up with 3 young guys that were fun to play with. We kept a good pace and never caught the group in front of us or delayed the group behind us. Water coolers are available at a few holes. They come in handy during the dreadful heated months we have here. Good putting green to practice on prior to starting your round. Cons: No beverage cart throughout the round. Make sure you bring or get some beverages at the turn and beginning of your round. No driving range, there is a netted area to hit your irons off the first tee box. Greens were fast and bumpy.

Haven't been to this location in quite a long time since the one in Carillon opened it. Had some…read morefriends in town and decided to meet up here. While waiting for friends, we sat at the bar and ordered drinks. Bartenders were attentive and kind. Everyone arrived and we headed to the bay. Immediately ordered food and started playing. Once you enter your information on the screen, your play time starts IMMEDIATELY. The problem with this is that the food took way too long (mind you, it wasn't even busy) that the play time was dang near over before the food arrived, making us add more time. We tried to order drinks with about 15 mins playing time remaining, and our server said we'd have to pay for more time or our bay would have to be forfeited. To sum it up, we felt rushed. My suggestion to maximize playing time is to order food and drink at the bar before hand and IF POSSIBLE (because I didn't try this so I don't know if its allowed), bring the food and drinks to the bay when you're ready to play. Overall, the food was good, the cocktails were mid, and the playing time was rushed.

Now it is because the mosquitoes were relentless, I mean just horrifying is an understatement! I have to have over a 100 bites throughout my body. There was no way of concentrating on the game when these irritating creatures are attacking you, just no rest from them at all. I fought the good fight for 18 holes but they ultimately won the battle and I have the scars to show! The golf course has ample parking for its golfers. They have a very nice pro shop with lots of gear and clothing for sale. They also have a golf simulator that you can use for a fee. The snack bar called the 8 Iron Grill has a full menu to satisfy your hunger. The course is in fair condition considering we are finally getting rain once again. It will take time for the bare spot throughout the course to fill back in. I found that there were lots of areas where you had thin or no grass on some lies. The tee boxes need grass and some of the greens need work as well. Some pros and cons. Pros: Convenient location, easy access with plenty of parking if you have base privileges. The staff here in the pro shop are friendly. No starter today, we just went out to the 1st tee box. The golf carts are new and in great shape, no GPS (so sad) , very nice ride! The practice areas here are good, nice putting green with lots of room. Driving range is available. The chipping green is good size to work on your short game. There is also a beverage cart and saw it several times throughout the round so there is no reason to go thirsty during the day. Ball cleaners were available throughout the course. Cons: Carts don't have GPS, they do have a geo tracker so you can't drive too close to the greens, the cart will let you know! Oh, did I say anything about the stink'in mosquitos, they were the worst ever! I normally would not give such a low star rating but the mosquitos situation demands it!
