Tides Golf Club

Recently played this course and had a great time. The greens were in excellent shape. This course is on the intercoastal with pretty water views, and very close to the beach. The pro shop and restaurant staff were friendly and helpful and even the owner was on site mingling with the staff and guests. I highly recommend this course. more

I love Florida and will miss it when it's gone.\r \r Somehow The Tides Golf Club has survived 50 years of relentelss water front development even though it occupies a rolling meadow of grass fronting miles of water front property overlooking the Intercoastal waterway. \r \r This place is literally a mile from the beach and convenient enough to uor condo in Indian Rocks for my wife to drop me off and not strand her without a rental car.\r \r Aside from the views, this place is just simple old Florida with inexpensive eggs and grits for breakfast, grilled food for lunch, and a full service bar and beverage cart all with a view of a lush green golf course reaching out to the shiny blue water of the bay.\r \r Only problem is it is distracting which is why my score had 3 digits. But I will be back. more

Needed a location for a guys golf outing and we decided to try The Tides. We were all concerned given the recent storms about the shape of a course so close to the water (great views by the way) but to our surprise, it was in terrific shape. All fairways were high and dry and the greens were immaculate. The staff at the club made us feel welcome with breakfast before we went out and put up some pretty amazing (large) scores. Pace of play was good and the wildlife that you could see due to the location made an extra benefit for my out of town guests. I will definitely be back! (Great deal too!) more

Everything was great! The greens were...well, so green just a few weeks after a big frost. They putted great even if I didn't. The staff was nice and we really enjoyed the breakfast that we had before we played (it was cheap too). My buddy rented clubs that were really nice for inexpensive rentals! The views of the water are fantastic. I gave it my highest rating! We talked with some regulars in the bar after our round and they all said the course was in the best shape it's been in in years. I'll be back to play. It was well worth the money. more

This course was lots of fun to play. It wasn't too hard and my score was pretty good. The view from the holes on the water was really nice as we saw all kinds of fish jumping and birds on the shore. We played another course in the area (I won’t say the name) and the greens were burnt up, but the Greens at The Tides were very nice. It is also much closer to the condo we rented on the beach so it all worked out great. They were running some kind of weekend special so it was really pretty cheap, no surprisingly cheap. The people working there all were very friendly and fit us in. I’ll definitely come back when we rent the same condo on the beach next year! Pros: Greens were great but the view was better. Cons: Worst part of the course was my swing! more

Minus a driving range, this golf course is worth every penny. Speaking with the PGA Head Golf Professional Darryl Spelich, he mentioned by November, they will be building 3 hitting cages(into nets to warm up). Very picturesque, golf course sits along the intercoastal waterways. Tides Golf Club where everybody knows your name. Pros: Price, Value, Friendly Atmosphere Cons: No Driving Range more

The tee boxes and fairways were in good shape but I have stayed at some beaches that had less sand than these greens had on them. more
