Countryside Country Club

Great location for annual charity golf tournament with Keller Williams! Benefitting Red Day and Florida Sheriff’s Youth Ranch. Food, booths, games putting, driving, hole in one, great hosts and KW culture.

We visited Countryside Country Club for my daughter’s tournament with the Tampa Junior Golf Tour, and it was a great overall experience. The course conditions were solid, and you can tell they take pride in keeping it well maintained. What makes Countryside unique and fun is their 27-hole layout—three distinct 9-hole courses (Pine, Bayhead, and Magnolia) that can be played in different combinations. Each set has its own character and challenge. Pine is tight and demands precision off the tee, Bayhead offers a little more room to breathe but has tricky bunkers and water in play, and Magnolia feels a bit more open but has undulating greens that require focus. All three offer a strong test for junior golfers and adults alike. The driving range was in great shape, and there was plenty of room for warm-ups. The short game area had just been aerated and punched, but it was already bouncing back nicely—should be in excellent shape again soon. While the clubhouse and restaurant were under construction during our visit, it looks like they’re investing in some impressive upgrades. I imagine once complete, it’ll really elevate the overall club experience. Overall, a beautiful property with a challenging layout, a welcoming staff, and a great atmosphere for junior golf. Looking forward to coming back when the renovations are complete!

Because you can pick from a set of 3 different 9-hole courses gives you lots of options. Always feel at home and like to stop at the Grille Room after a round of golf with my buddies. Maybe plant those 100 yard and 150 yard Podocarpus tree markers again or maybe add some more cool looking landscapes for more scenic views.

1st timer. Played as a guest. Driving range was well stocked with range balls. The practice putting green was so beautiful, it looked like synthetic grass. They were very quick. The two 9 hole courses that we played were very well-maintained. The nicest putting greens that I have ever played on.

This is our second school event at the club. The Mexican buffet was not the greatest, and that’s what we were served both times. Limited options for those following a plant based diet. Iceberg lettuce was the only green vegetable on the buffet. Do a nice country club, I would expect the food options to be better.
