When Westchase was master-planned, the golf course was not an afterthought — it was the centerpiece. Westchase Golf Club opened in 1992 and remains one of the defining features of life here, both for golfers and for anyone who appreciates the open green space and natural beauty it brings to the community.
A Nationally Recognized Course
Westchase Golf Club is a premium daily-fee public facility recognized by the National Golf Foundation as a top-10 course in the national rankings and #1 in the state of Florida in its Customer Loyalty and Satisfaction Program (CLASP) survey. The CLASP award goes to the best of the more than 400 courses that participate in the NGF program, so this is not a small distinction. It reflects a genuinely well-run course with a loyal following.
The Course Itself
Nationally known architect Lloyd Clifton designed the 6,699-yard, par-72 course, which winds through natural wetlands, wooden bridges, and bulkheads. It has been called one of the most beautiful public-access courses in the Tampa area and has earned a high rating from Golf Digest along with a Great Value award.
The signature 3rd hole is a par-3 over water. Five sets of tees, including junior tees, accommodate golfers of every skill level across 213 acres of lakes, woods, and scenic conservation areas. Whether you are a scratch golfer or just learning, it is a course you can grow with.
More Than Golf
The beautiful 9,500-square-foot clubhouse overlooks the 9th and 18th greens and is a popular venue for events, group outings, and weddings. The on-site Two Spoons Restaurant offers pre- and post-round food and beverage service, and the Bar and Grille is open to the public. The club also runs an extensive lessons program, including a strong junior program, through the Cestone Golf Academy.
Why It Matters If You Live Here
For buyers, the golf course is part of what makes Westchase, well, Westchase. Homes along and near the course — in neighborhoods like Harbor Links and The Greens — command a premium for good reason: mature landscaping, protected green-space views, and the lifestyle that comes with living minutes from a top-ranked course. Even if you never pick up a club, the course shapes the character and the property values of the entire community.
