Reviewing One Of The Oldest Golf Courses in Florida

today I got another treat for you we’re playing like one of the oldest courses in Florida it’s called Temple Terrace I got no idea what to expect today we’re going in blind could be nice could be not I don’t know we’re going to play nine holes we’re going to shoot for 40 or less we’re going to review the course and we’re going to review the food no let’s go play see what we can do oh God I had about you know 15 people watching me with the with the tripod I just can’t get over that you know I got to get over that we got like 160 into wind here oh I hooked it it’s going to go in that bunker it’s not too bad we got a pot got to hit the ball you got to hit the ball okay hole two short part four I don’t really know what to make of this course so far we’re smack dab in a neighborhood here houses everywhere cars flying it’s kind of fun like we’ll see what we can do that’s a high spinny slicy got a tree here to deal with I’m going to choke down on a nine we got to keep this low oh missed the tree but I out left look at long of the green it’s a it’s a goddamn Highway what happens if you skull one into a windshield it’s like holy okay it’s not how I wanted to hit it but do it do it oh stop walking those in bogey bogey start there’s a highway behind me it’s a fun course so far I like it we need a birdie there we go finally finally he we got 60 yards awkward number this green is Tiny was driving in here I was like all these greens are tiny and like we’re zero for Z we’re zero for two green and rag but that’s just normal didn’t hit it hard enough oh it’s over the bunker over to the left can afford another Mist up and down let’s stick this tight tap in get out of here oh the grass got me oh that’s so short nope nope nope three holes three bogeys three over through three let’s go to four our first part three it’s like 175 what you see is what you get this is not how I Envision this day going we need a full reset and a par would be nice hooked it dirty little hooker the thing I hate the most is I can feel it happening when I’m here and then it’s just anyway we got to get this up and down oh I like that oh I love that right center right Edge in the cup is that the TSN Turning Point whole five were three over par on that last one could this be the start of something great I don’t know I like this course so far first par five I would love a birdie that was the best Drive in a while nuked that one that felt really good we got like 220 230 into this green I bunker down there though I’m actually not hit the four iron nice 40 yards I don’t love these but we got to stay positive go go go a it’s short do it stop walking in oh it’s so oh you bugger oh it’s a a three putt bogey whole six we got to shake off that three putt back there that is a horrible bogey horrible bogey we’re four over whole six down the pipe that one was good driver’s feeling good at least we got 80 yards we got to stick something tight here it’s a low one might be good oh yeah it’s a good one this is like the first solid hole we’ve played so far stayed straight huh let’s go to the what are we on the eth sth it’s down the left I didn’t hit it that well but might be in that bunker this is this is as layup as it GS this is layup layup layup whoa whoa whoa God okay I shanked it luckily it was bad enough we still got a laneway here this shot is terrifying there’s a bunker short it’s all Bush long go go go I hammered it and I missed it oh my God God oh my dear God that’s a three putt bogey okay eighth hole par three do you think I enjoy being the way that I am back there we got like 10 ft I three putted it it hurts like it really hurts um I can feel it right now I’m not going to lie to you but one birdie is what we need one birdie and a par looks pretty good turn in there a little bit we need a twoot here badly bird the 9th and I got a lot of wrist action in that one o meat on the bone oh my God oh my God stop it six over par six Bogies two pars this is not a hard course it’s short and we’re three jacking left and right it’s just very frustrating let’s see if we can Birdie the ninth we’ll go review the food we’ll review the course in the car whoa okay I was looking at these practice pins behind me the pin is over there so the shot was good we got a really awkward shot here this green is Tiny bunker all over it well like that yeah that’s a good one that might be the best shot of the day right there oh you know what we had fun what did we shoot 6 over 42 that didn’t feel like a 42 it’s an easy course let’s get the food recap in the car we went bogey bogey bogey par bogey thre poot par B three putt bogey three putt par to finish for a 42 you know 42 is not a bad score but it’s a short course you know it’s a short course it’s not hard we had an opportunity to easily be 39 I kept three putting I’m a three- putting monster just frustrating I felt frustrated on nine we got to make that for birdie it’s like we just didn’t have it today 42 not bad I got to relax but three three putts in four holes is just not going to cut it you know and I thought we figured something out with the putting but anyway let’s review the course it’s a cool course it’s it’s very peaceful I love the treelined roads the trees are beautiful you’re in a you’re in a you’re in a neighborhood it’s a really cool course the the history is there 1922 I met the superintendent met the pro they’re doing a lot of great work aord ability will start with I paid 35 bucks for Twilight n holes nothing wrong with that okay that’s exactly what I want right in my wheelhouse I’m going to go 8 8.8 on the affordability scale would I pay a 100 bucks to play there no would I pay 80 bucks to play there no so there’s that okay so affordability 8.8 clear happy with that conditions there’s some rough patches for sure in the fairways there’s rough patches on some of the greens the greens are Speedy though surprisingly I’m going to go 7 point 7.4 on the conditions it’ll get the job done layout I was stuck here 6.9 7 7.1 kind of in that range I’m going to go seven flat it’s not going to blow you away it’ll it’ll it’ll it’ll get the job done seven Flats 74 conditions they’re doing some great work out here I can tell the greens are Speedy so 74 conditions 8.8 affordability again would I pay 100 to play here no okay we got the fried chicken sandwich and it looks really good we kind of got chipped on the fries though tiny tiny handful I’ll show you in a second but take a look at this Fried Chicken Sandwich Pro cheese take a bite see what we got here I’m going to make a mess here

  1. Hey man – love your content! I've been playing golf in the Tampa area for the past 6 years and I really appreciate your honest review of all the courses in this area. I love your editing styling too – only keeping in the shots and great commentary. Hope you blow up soon!

  2. St Pete player here you gotta play mangrove bay and Bardmoor if you haven’t already mangrove is the best city track anywhere

  3. I play in St Pete, but I think my favorite course in the St Pete Clearwater area has to be Chi Chi Rodriguez GC. Always so nice, and a fun little challenge! If you get a chance to go down across the Skyway, the Links at Greenfield Plantation is me and my Grandad’s favorite course!
