The Best Golf Course Communities in Tampa FL

Thanks to year round sunshine and a prime waterfront location, outdoor recreation is part of the fabric of the Tampa lifestyle. For many, boating, finishing, and water sports are all the rage. But for others, nothing beats a warm sunny day out on the links. As more and more people move to the Tampa area, demand for golf course homes has skyrocketed. And as one of the fastest growing metro areas in the U.S., we don't see that trend slowing down any time soon. So whether you're planning a move here from out-of-state or just looking to upgrade or downsize to your ideal golf course residence, here's a closer look at Tampa's best golf course communities home buyers should consider. 

Tampa Palms Golf & Country Club

One of the best is Tampa Palms Golf & Country Club which has an Arthur Hills-designed championship golf course, a clubhouse with a pro shop, a driving range and putting green, plus tennis, a fitness facility, and more. Spend your free time out on the 18-hole golf course, on one of the 11 Har-Tru tennis courts, working out, or cooling off in the junior Olympic pool. You also have a lot of variety in terms of housing, from condos to much larger, single-family homes, depending on your lifestyle needs. 

Westchase Golf Club

Westchase Golf Club has a highly ranked, par 72 golf course that has five sets of tees, meaning you can be an experienced golfer at the club, or you can opt for one of the new junior tees at Westchase. The public golf club has its own on-site dining options, too, plus you can choose from one of the single-family homes in a gated setting or the convenience of one of the maintenance-free townhomes in Westchase. 

Hunter’s Green

Hunter’s Green Country Club has a resort-style swimming pool to cool off on sunny days, plus a fitness center to get in your workout, some tennis courts, and of course, a championship golf course. This 18-hole course is challenging enough for golfers of all abilities, plus when you choose Hunter’s Green, you get a gated community with your choice of a condo or a single-family home, giving you more options in how you want to live in Tampa. 

Northdale Golf & Tennis Club 

One more great place to take your search in Tampa is the Northdale Golf & Tennis Club, with its 18-hole golf course, its nine Har-Tru tennis courts, its golf pro shop, and more. This is one of the more established courses in Tampa, but it’s still one of the favorites when it comes to golfing in this part of Florida. You can arrange for golf instruction from one of the PGA pros or just head out to the new putting green to get in some practice before starting your next round. There are several different subdivisions to choose from too, whether you need the space of a condo, townhome, a single-family home, or a custom estate.
