Tarpon Springs is an 18-hole golf course located in Tarpon Springs along the Gulf of Mexico shoreline on the west portion of Florida.

It was another of the courses we inspected during the Tampa Bay Championship.

The original nine holes of the golf course was designed in 1906 and with the second nine finished in the late 1920’s.

The course plays to a par 72 and measures 6,243 yards from the back tees with many doglegs that make it play longer than the actual length.

Tarpon Springs boasts four par fives – the third, 11th, 13th and 16th holes.

Dominating the area around the 1st, ninth, 10th and 18th holes is the Tarpon Springs Hospital located immediately across the road from the golf course.  And that leads to an old golf pun that your golf game is not so poorly you need to pay a visit to the hospital.

But all jokes aside, the golf course looks a very enjoyable course to play.  Not too hilly and with a number of challenging holes.

Tarpon Springs Golf Course is owned and operated by the City of Tarpon Springs for the golfing enjoyment of the public.
