Came here for a wedding actually. As a rule I have a great distaste for country clubs because of…read morethe snoot factor. This place is no different. It has a well manicured 18 hole golf course, nine more holes (27 total) gym, two pools, tennis courts and all that. It also has a clubhouse which is the focus of my review. First off, this is the ugliest clubhouse I've ever entered. Think Little Rascals He Man Woman Hater's Club if you're that much into club houses. Ugly brown crown molding, ratty carpeting, ugly beige walls and exposed wood ceilings. The lobby looks like a mausoleum too. After the ceremony in a non cool room (idiots turned on the heat by mistake), we were sent into the reception area, which was the south room and adjoining spaces. At least they actually had on the AC in here. Open bar and passed canapés as one would expect. Some of these canapés including bacon wrapped scallops stand out because they were AWFUL!! I almost spit out the spinach pie; I should've known better when I saw them drizzled with heaven knows what. Scallops over cooked and lousy...at least there was an open bar. After two dark rum and colas, I even had enough of that; cheap lo-rent swill. Salad was simple mixed greens with a slice of cuke, some red onion and a couple of CHILLED cherry tomatoes. Well, there was the next sign that the kitchen doesn't know what it's doing. Tomatoes are supposed to be room temperature; period. Dressing stop said salad was nondescript. For entrees the Queen Bee had crab stuffed grouper and I had filet mignon. Filet was bland but had a halfway decent demiglaze with it. Queen Bee didn't care for her grouper. Everyone else at the table seemed more or less okay with it. To be fair, I didn't try the stuff. Both entrees were accompanied by overcooked asparagus and bland rice pilaf. Blech! I'm sure the wedding party paid good money for this stuff. If this is any sign of how their dining rooms are, then kindly include me OUT of this club. I'd rather graze on the grass from the 10th fairway. The desserts you see are provided by an outside bakery so nothing to say here. Not really much worthwhile or positive to say about having a function here, either. Have it at Chuck E. Cheese or a bowling alley instead! Eh!!

The Pelican Golf Club is a private membership club. It is an absolute jewel in the quiet enclave of…read moreBelleair, Florida. It was a delight to encounter employees who clearly love their jobs, and want you to enjoy your time golfing, dining or exercising. The facilities feature the most up to date technology for both golfing and exercising. There are two on site restaurants. One is a bistro style eatery, open for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The best grits and bacon I have EVER had! The other restaurant, The Albatross, is a sexy, high end steak and seafood spot. I'd put the meals I've had there up against any famous big city dining establishment. The lodging for out of town guests may be one of my favorite amenities. The finishes, the decor, the comfort ... the luxury! There is nothing else like it in this area of Florida. Though I am not a golfer myself, I do know that the greens are immaculate enough to host an annual LPGA event. Should you be lucky enough to be invited by a member to visit The Pelican, it is an invitation you should accept!

Cove Cay is essentially my "home course" in central Clearwater. This course has amazing potential…read moreas it is set right on the Bay with stunning views on multiple holes. The staff is accommodating, though not necessarily friendly. The driving area is pinched between the first and tenth fairways but is adequate. The track of the course is ok on the front, winding through condos and dumping you out on hole 9 with the first great view of the day. The back 9 is much more fun to play with water on almost every hole, 2 par fives and 4 par threes. The course consistently struggles to be in great shape with the greens patchy and sandy quite often. However, when the course is in good shape it is one of my favorite courses to play.

Called the pro shop and they didn't offer any help. The halfway house was out of beer and the worker said it would be too much work for them to get anymore (walking across the street). Tee boxes are uglier than my mother in law. I had high hopes and unfortunately they were let down. I won't be coming back. I'll drive an extra 30 minutes to play anywhere else.

For the money, Chi Chi's is one of the best public golf courses in Pinellas County. Sure, it…read moredoesn't compete with Dunedin, or Bardmoor, or Fox Hollow, but typically you can get on for $60 during peak season and far less out of season. The course is well maintained with challenging holes and a diverse track. Some of the course is pinched but you have to keep in mind that you are golfing in the Countryside area that has very little land to work with. Staff is pretty short without being rude and rarely have I seen a cart girl out on the course. All in all, if you're golfing on a budget, Chi Chi's is a great course to play!

If you haven't heard, Jan Stephenson sold the course to a group who are using the course as an…read moreoffset to wetlands elimination in other areas. The course remains open if only for the revenue but maintenance is at a minimal if any. So, don't be too disappointed to see it in ragged condition. The layout itself if of championship quality but over the years, the course has not been favored by the local community. Even the Beef O' Brady in the clubhouse closed for lack of support. Additionally, Stephenson underwent some serious health problems which contributed to the inattention to maintaining the course. Too bad. There are few courses in the area with such a challenging layout. It was once very desirable but it's only a matter of time before it closes. They do give military discounts so my fee is a bit less than the going rate. Unless you're willing to buy it back and put some dollars into it, I'm afraid it will be gone. It's for certain, the surrounding residents were only worried about their view. None have stepped up to take over the once idyllic course.

Right next to a municipal airport (hence...the LANDINGS) so you got small planes coming and going.

Didn't like that the clubhouse (and bathrooms) were closed when we got back a few minutes past seven....but was still good time. Will come back again.

Arrived at Lansbrook GC and the parking lot was full! Everybody and there brother was here today…read more Lansbrook GC is rolling in the dough today. I walked into the proshop and checked in and the staff member was very welcoming and told me that the tee box was clear, and I could go out once I loaded my cart. I told him I wanted to play with some other player so I would wait until somebody else checked in. That took another 30 minutes or so. I used this time wisely and got to slices of mushroom pizza at the restaurant and they were really good. I don't think I took a picture of them, sorry guys. After a pretty good lunch I went and hit some balls on the driving range with we pretty full, was able to find a couple of empty spots at the end of the row. Which was a good thing since one of the female golfer on the range was suffering from heat exhaustion and I told her to please sit in my cart to get some shade. She was fine after a few minutes of resting in the shade. The range is good and I was able to warm up and get ready for another awesome day of golf. After that I putted for a few and met another player who was about to go to the first tee box. Some pros and cons. Pros: Convenient location, easy access with plenty of parking. The staff here in the proshop were welcoming and had a great sense of humor, thank for that! The golf carts seem to be newer with GPS, nice ride! The practice areas here are in good shape, putting green with adequate room. Driving range wide enough to accommodate several golfers. You are not forced to play in a foursome. Some courses love to do this, which I'm ok with, but I'd rather see it as a choice and not a requirement. The bar area is nice to have a sandwich or a slice of pizza before or during your round as well as a beverage after your round. There is also a beverage cart and saw it several times throughout the round so there is no reason to go thirsty during the day. Cons: The chipping green to work on your short game with a sand trap to utilize as well is only for members. At the turn we hit a wall, and it took 3 hours to finish, it was so painful, lots of waiting on each hole, like 10 minutes if not longer sometime with no ranger to monitor pace of play.

I called the General Manager Andy Mollerud twice and left voicemails but he did not even have the courtesy to call me back. They were not even busy as our twosome was followed by a single and no one behind him for a few tee times at least. Anytime one of our group hasn't been able to make it last minute at other courses they never charge me. On top of that, before our round finished my playing partner was very mad that the fairways were soaked and even had large puddles despite not much rain. The greens were very sandy and patchy and your ball bounced around a lot. Needless to say we will not be returning. Poor customer service combined with bad course conditions = no more visits. Don't waste your money!
