TPC Tampa Bay is the Tampa course you can book like any public layout. It sits in Lutz, north of the city, and it was built by the PGA Tour in 1991 as part of its Tournament Players Club network. For about 20 years it hosted the senior tour’s Tampa stop, so the closing holes have seen Tom Watson, Bernhard Langer and Hale Irwin win. Today it is owned by Heritage Golf Group, runs as a daily-fee course, and prices its tee times online by demand. That makes it the easiest of the region’s tour venues to fit around a resort stay.
TPC Tampa Bay green fees and tee times.
Book online through the club’s tee-time page or app, or call the golf shop on 813.949.0090, extension 1; the shop is open from 7am to 6.30pm. Pricing is dynamic, so the rate moves with demand and there is no fixed rack rate on the website. The club says booking online or in the app gives the best price, and that quieter days are cheaper, so a midweek afternoon will usually cost less than a winter Saturday morning. If your date is full, join the tee-time waitlist on the booking page. Only members get advanced tee times, so public golfers book within the standard window. Group and outing enquiries go to extension 104.
The round, in perspective.
Bobby Weed designed the course with Chi Chi Rodriguez as the tour’s player consultant. It is a par 71, with forward tees of about 4,990 yards and back tees just under 7,000, so the same round works for a mixed group. Water is the theme, with lakes, lagoons and wetlands, and stands of cypress, including cypress heads and a cypress marsh, line many holes. The club calls the 14th a true three-shot par five and the 15th one of its most difficult holes, and the 17th is a long par three to an 11,000-square-foot green, with water up the right. In 2022 the course closed for about six months for regrassing. Heritage left Weed’s design largely intact and laid new varieties of Bermuda across the playing areas.

Make the trip work.
Use TPC Tampa Bay as the flexible round in a Tampa Bay week. Innisbrook and Saddlebrook both work best on packages, while here you can book a day or two out once you see the weather. Compare a few dates on the booking page before committing, since dynamic pricing can differ noticeably between days. The club has its own practice facility, so arrive early enough to hit balls, and ask the golf shop about rental clubs, which the club offers, if you are flying in without your own. Larger groups and society days go through the outings line rather than the public sheet.
Tampa International (TPA) is the nearest airport, south of Lutz. The club is at 5300 West Lutz Lake Fern Road, near the Lutz Lake Fern exit of the Suncoast Parkway, so the drive from the airport is mostly on the Veterans Expressway. From Innisbrook, head east across north Pinellas and Hillsborough; from Saddlebrook, head west along State Road 54 and south.
There is no hotel on site. Saddlebrook in Wesley Chapel is the nearer of the two resorts in this guide, roughly 20 miles away by road, mostly on State Road 54. Innisbrook works as a base too, but its packages bundle daily golf there, so a TPC round means paying for golf you skip. The other option is north Tampa, near the airport and the Westshore business district, which keeps the Veterans Expressway run short.
Make a trip of it.
Pair it with Copperhead at Innisbrook, where the Valspar Championship is played, and with Saddlebrook’s Oak, Pine and Cypress nines. Together they give a tour venue, a newly redesigned resort and a daily-fee course within a short drive of each other. A day at Busch Gardens Tampa Bay, or an evening on the Tampa Riverwalk around the downtown museums, breaks up the golf.
Find your season.
The busiest and priciest months are December to April, when Florida is dry and mild and northern visitors arrive. Summer is hot, humid and stormy in the afternoons, and dynamic pricing usually falls with demand. The Champions Tour event no longer comes here, although the course hosted a PGA Tour Champions qualifier in 2021.
Yes. Heritage Golf Group runs it as a daily-fee course, and anyone can book on the club’s website, in its app or by phone. Members get advanced tee times, so book early for winter weekends, or use the waitlist when a date is full.
How much are green fees at TPC Tampa Bay?
The club uses dynamic pricing and publishes no fixed rate. Prices change in real time with demand, and the club says online and app bookings get the best price. Low-demand days and times are cheaper.
What tournaments has TPC Tampa Bay hosted?
It was the home of the Champions Tour’s Tampa event for about 20 years, through sponsors including GTE, Outback Steakhouse and Encompass Insurance. Winners included Hale Irwin in 2005, Tom Watson in 2007 and 2008, and Bernhard Langer in 2010.
Who designed TPC Tampa Bay?
Bobby Weed, with Chi Chi Rodriguez as player consultant. The PGA Tour opened it in 1991, and it was sold to Heritage Golf Group in 2008, which kept the TPC name under licence.
