Dream 18: Share your thoughts


Published October 10, 2007

ADVERTISEMENT

You didn't ask us, but we did it anyway. We created a fictional golf course comprised of the best holes from the top courses  throughout the Tampa Bay area.  We call it the Dream 18. Others might call a nightmare. Now that you've seen our course, we'd like to hear your thoughts. Do you agree? Disagree? Which is your favorite hole? Which did we leave out? Tee it up, and take your best shot.

No holes from Southern Hill? There are three holes on the Innisbrooke Property that can easily go ahead of #3 at Feather Sound. That hole is not that great. The Par 5 5th is though. I dont know how you compare? Conditions, scenery, what?

FYI Mitch -- That is the 15th hole at TPC. Read the item carefully. It says it's the 15th hole at TPC but in the Dream 18 it's the 18th hole.

Hey Joe. Just FYI -- The Claw, Westchase, Fox Hollow, World Woods, TPC of Tampa and Innisbrook are all open to the public. Several of the private clubs also allow public play.

Just FYI, Mitch, that is No. 15 at TPC of Tampa Bay. It is No. 18 on our Dream 18, but the real hole number is in parenthesis next to the club name.

Rodney, you might want to let Joe (comment 10/10/07 @11:44 am) that Fox Hollow is not private.

YOU HAVE THE WRONG PICTURE OF THE 18TH HOLE AT TPC, THAT IS ACTUALLY A PICTURE OF THE 16TH HOLE, NOT THE 18 AT TPC.

Rodney, Nice job! I agree with some. I also realize you wanted to include as many courses as possible. Make a best 36 and include: # 8 World Woods Rolling Oaks #'s 4, 15 World Woods Pine Barrens #'s 7,9,18 Islands Course # 11 Lake Jovita oos

great article! Just one thing, I've only played two of those holes - The Claw and Westchase. The rest of the courses are private. Maybe you could follow up with a hardest public holes in the Tampa Bay area

Hole #8 at WorldWoods Rolling Oaks is one of the most beautiful holes around. Short Par 3 downhill over a babbling brook. Breathtaking view when standing at the teebox!
