The 18-hole Tarpon Springs Golf Course is owned and operated by the City of Tarpon Springs. The original nine holes of the golf course were built in 1907 and followed the architecture of the time with small, elevated greens and quite a few doglegs.
In 1927 the course was redesigned and made into an 18-hole facility by Wayne Styles and John Van Kleek. Par is 72 and the course plays 6,200-yards from the back tees with many doglegs that make it play longer than the actual length. In the summer of 2014, the club underwent a renovation to put in new Seashore Paspalum greens as well as all-new tee boxes. In 2015 the club also renovated the driving range to offer more hitting areas on both grass and artificial turf.
Tarpon Springs Golf Course is the oldest municipal golf course in Florida and is currently featured on the Florida Historic Golf Trail. The Florida Historic Golf Trail is a collection of historic courses throughout Florida, that golfers can still play on today.
The Florida Historic Golf Trail is a program of the Florida Department of State, designed to enhance public awareness of Florida's historic golf courses and increase an appreciation for historic preservation and Florida history. Some courses on the Trail have retained much of their historic character, while others have been modified over the years. Golf has been played for more than a half-century at each of these sites.
Tarpon Springs Golf Course prides itself in offering a fun, yet challenging course to players of all skill levels as well as top-notch customer service to everyone who walks through the door. Other amenities at the course include a fully stocked Pro shop with competitive pricing and a snack bar with sandwiches, snacks, soft drinks, beer, and wine.
