Located just north of Tampa in Tarpon Springs, Crescent Oaks Country Club sprawls across rolling hills dotted with sparkling lakes. The narrow course has a traditional layout that was carefully carved from dense woodlands, making it a challenging test. The lakes as well as a meandering creek come into play throughout the golf course. There are also a few strategically placed bunkers along the greensides. The par-5 10th is one of the most memorable holes with an elevated green and a ridge cutting across the middle. Par is considered a good score on this tricky hole. The golf course finishes with a par-4 dogleg left that features water along the entire left side of the fairway. The green is also protected by sand on the right and water on the opposite side.

Nice Course for Money

One of the better courses I've played in the area for the price. Challenging layout with a variety of hole types. Course conditions not perfect but definitely playable. No rakes available for the bunkers which seemed strange for a country club type course. For the $69 I paid, one of the best values in the Clearwater area.

Decent Track

Have played C Oaks a lot. Recently changed ownership. He is making some good changes.
Needs:
1. Lower the rate to $40
2. Add grass to fairways on holes - 1, 4, 14, and 15.
3. Add grass to tee boxes on holes - 11, and 14
4. Stop changing the food menu and allow “sharing without an extra charge.
Greens are small but very good.

Nice track

A nice course, not overly long but plenty of challenge. A little worse for wear after a colder and wetter than normal Florida winter. Priced right, would definitely play it again.

Great course

The course itself was difficult with all the water hazards but overall it was a great course. They didn’t have a cart girl running when we were there. The only complaint I have was the pace of play was horrendous! Every hole we were backed up waiting.

Nice course

Nice course. Greens were in good shape and fairways were fair.
Tiny greens make the course a bit gimmicky at times.
Overall a nice track but might recommend paying the extra $20-30 to get off at Fox Hollow.

Fairways need help

Fairways are bare; grass nonexistent in large swaths of the rough. Surrounds of greens are rough. They aren't spending money on the fairways, should have overseeded with rye. In fact it didn't look like they're spending much on maintaining the course looking at fairways and bunkers. Greens were grainy, slow (about 7 stimp) and contaminated with some sort of invasive grass. Since the weeds grow at different rates they let the greens stay pretty furry. bunkers need lots of help. Cart Path Only yesterday but the fairways are so dry and compacted it didn't seem necessary. I am a six handicap, and struggled with the firmness of the ground due to lack of grass. IF the price were $20 less it would be a value. As it is, not worth the money to me. EITHER a course needs good greens or good fairways/bunkers. When both are mediocre it really stands out as a poorly conditioned course. I give them a C.

Better than I remember.

Did not play here last year, mostly due to my schedule. The course was in very good shape. Fast greens. Much better than I expected.

Good layout, liked the par threes. Good value. Good test off the back tees if you want it.

First timer at this course. I’ve been visiting this area from England for 10 years and can’t believe I’ve only just played it for the first time. I’m booked in for next Tuesday. Looking forward to it.

Our group plays here once a month and enjoys the lay out. There are a few difficult holes but rewarding for us seniors when we par them. some fairways need more grass but we will be back.

Crescent golf

Pace was ok but cost was high for condition of course. Courses in Florida are mostly dry but was told that they make about 70% of their money because of snow birds coming down. Then why don’t the courses turn the water on and get the course in better conditions
