Golf Courses in Lutz, Florida
Lutz, Florida, is in the western part of the state, about 20 miles north of Tampa Bay. This region of Florida is one of the biggest golf areas in the entire state. You could literally play a different course every day of the week for a month. What better place to spend a golf vacation? Oh, and there's the nearby coastline and Busch Gardens Amusement Park too.

Lutz Executive Golf Center

This small golf center has a par-three executive course and a driving range. The course is surrounded by rolling hills but is itself relatively flat. You'll notice little tree cover, but there are some areas of marsh grass. When you're done with your round, try out the disc golf course, located in the hilly areas, or get some practice at the driving range. You can call the pro shop to set up a 30 or 60 minute lesson with a golf pro.

TPC of Tampa Bay Course

This Tournament Players Club course is designed to challenge the pros but is not insurmountable for the amateur golfer. It is a 5,036-yard, par-71 dotted with wetlands and groves of cypress trees. Wildlife present on this course includes alligators, egrets, eagles and foxes. Their presence helped designate it an Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary. While this course is public, you can buy an annual membership. This could save you some money if you plan to golf there regularly. This course has locker rooms so you can shower after your round and stash items you don't need. It also has putting and chipping areas. Hours are from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m., with the first tee off at 7:30.
