University of South Florida Golf Course - The Claw

About the club

Dedication to excellence is what characterizes the Tampa Bay golf experience at Tampa Palms Golf & Country Club. Other Tampa Bay golf courses may offer exciting golf but Tampa Palms was created to be one of the most prestigious and challenging golf courses in Florida. It is a masterpiece design by Arthur Hills, a renowned golf course architect with more than 150 course designs.Tampa Palms is the former home of the Senior PGA Tour’s GTE Suncoast Classic. Our challenging 18-hole golf course sitting on a certified Audubon sanctuary takes golf in Tampa Bay to an extraordinary new level. In and around a superb Florida setting of pine and palmetto flats, you’ll play around magnificent laurel oaks and through the wilderness preserve areas with beautiful views of the water. The golf Tampa Bay offers is superb but the experience you get at Tampa Palms tops all rivals. You’ll feel like you’re a million miles away from the workday because the course is patterned as a continuous loop that does not return to the clubhouse until the eighteenth hole, reminiscent of some of the great Scottish linksland courses. Some golf courses Tampa bay golfers will like but Tampa Palms is a course that they will love.
