I really like East Bay. Here is why: It is long and a good test of golf. It doesnt seem to long on paper, but remember this is a flat, sometimes moist course. Wait till you play no. 8! The course actually built on an old lake bed. It plays long. Not super long, but I recommend the white tees if you are a 10 hdcp. or over. You probably will use every club in your bag. They layout is good. I miss the old layout (no. 12 they took out a 225 yd. par 3 and replaced it with a, albeit nice, short over the water par 3 - also no.3 used to be drivable, but now with the new lake around it, it isnt a smart shot). The condition of the course has improved and the attitude is better now. This course can be hard for the ladies. But still every lady I have played with had a good time here. It is easy to get to, easy to get a tee time and is a golf staple of Pinellas county. I would give it 5 stars, but the course gets a lot of play. It can be busy at times. You should not be disappointed!!

Ill start with Im new to golf. That being said I would never revisit this course. The state of the course is very well put by Js review below. The staff on the other hand are horrible. We were hounded by the course Ranger to speed up even know we let all that came up on us pass. At one point I said to the Ranger "Im sorry I am not very good at golf. Im trying to learn and enjoy my birthday" His response was "Play best ball and play faster"..... We were then kicked off the course with a reason of "There is a 4 hour limit for 18 holes". I asked if they have this up anywhere or if you just expect a new golfer to know your rules. He then told me to call Monday to talk to the manager if I did not like it... Well thank you East Bay Country Club for the worst service I have ever seen. There are plenty of courses in the area and I would strongly suggest anyone looking to go here reconsider and visit another course. Thanks, Sean

I heard there were new owners at East Bay so I thought it would be nice to play since I live on the course. I asked two friends to join me, which I spent some of our time together feeling the need to apologize for recommending East Bay. I generally play 18-holes in 3-3 1/2 hours depending on how crowded the courses are; it took us 5 1/2 hours to play 17-holes!!! We walked off the course disgusted and after telling a staff member about our frustration, found the staff person less than concerned about the time it took to play. His comment: "Well, at least its warmer here than up north." Even though I live on the course, its going to be some time before I go back. Right now Id tell anyone thinking of playing there, "say save your money".

The course at $25 + taxes was good value for money. Tees and fairways were well maintained, but some greens had seen better days. Bumpy and patchy in places, and in need of some caring green keepers attention. Bunkers were well placed and kept in neat and tidy order. Plenty of water on this course so straight is the order of the day, if you are wayward from the tee, then expect to be wet alot of the time! Would I revisit this course? Probably not, only because Florida has so many to try and not because there was anything wrong with the course, we got round in just about 3 hours so it wont take too much out of your day if you want to try it out. Enjoy John

Pace of play here is very good, especially in Feb & Mar when we do split tee times off front and back, rounds are consistently less than 4hours 20 minutes. Also tee times run on time which is not the norm for other area courses. Greens are in great shape this winter and rates are very reasonable. The club NEVER runs out of carts, they are assigned within a reasonable time before tee time. Days are getting longer now and any tee time before 1:30 will absolutely finish an 18 hole round.

Will never play there again. The condition of the course was a joke. The greens were terrible they were like putting on shag carpet and do not get me on the fairway. They had crab grass growing on them and were terrible. I work at a resort on the beach and I well never send our guest there ever. Sorry I gave you one star, but I do not think they would post this. I would not give this even given them one star

The pricing on this course is hard to beat and the course itself is kept in great condition. This course can be used by all levels of golfers and the scenery is beautiful. Management has done a good job making sure the course is always tended to and that the players are happy. I enjoy the golf course very much and would recommend it. Great way to spend a few hours in sunny FL!

Second time in a week my husband played this course and came home frustrated. They are over booking the course so bad that if you play after 1PM you cannot get 18 holes in and they will not do any refund. He should have known when they were running out of golfcarts...all because of greed! All because of greed! He should have know when they were running out of golf carts......

The course is no Innisbrook, but neither is the cost. Staff is welcoming and friendly and greens are playable. Unfortunately East Bay has seen better days and the buildings and property are looking dilapidated. Hope they can withstand the urban sprawl of Pinellas County. Use to love the lighted short course that is now condos.

Well priced exp after noon. Great shape and if your from out of town and on vacation, this is the place. Close to our condo and cheaper than others in the area. If you want to spend more than 50$, of course (no pun) finding Donald Ross isnt hard to find. From Indiana, so flat, fast greens are the norm.

Regular golfer at East Bay so I have seen the good and the bad. I have to compliment them on the improvements on their greens. Played this weekend and the greens rolled the smoothest I remember and had more pace than they have had in while. Very enjoyable round at a great price.

One of the best values in the area. For the cost its really hard to beat. Great staff, always willing to help get a single player out there. Speedy rounds in the morning, GPS on the carts, reasonably challenging layout. Really, for the money you cant go wrong.

Course is in great shape given all the rains we have had for months. Staff is always great and rates are the best in town. Eagles, alligators and tons of wild life too! Oh yes and GPS on new carts. We will be back.

Great course with great value. dont play if you cant keep up. they have driving range for those who are learning. love the layout. conditions could be better but layout is one of my favorite in tampa bay.

Nice open course. The golf carts have gps in them which is a much added bonus. They close early though and they are ready to go at closing time.
