The Club at Cheval

Course is in good shape even with the rain mucking up maintenance and plugging balls in the fairways. It may be the least swampy course in the area. Good customer service, nice layout of holes and a well stocked pro shop. Love it when I get discount greens fee.

Cheval is nowhere near its price. Given my friends and I live 15 minutes away we had to try it out, but I have never been more disappointed playing in Tampa. We paid $120 and experienced the following: -Slow play (ended 55 minutes behind pace after the starter bragged about how many groups they got out that morning) -No cart girl until #9 and only saw her once -A cart that lost charge on #7 so we had to walk the last three holes. Not something you can always control, but the shop had zero empathy. No apologies and didn’t even have a cart ready at the turn. Waited a few minutes and snagged one from a group that finished 18. -Asked for range balls twice in the pro shop prior to the round and was told to just go to the range. Range had no balls laid out and we couldn’t figure out where to ask for them, so we just went to #1. For any average $30-45 course I wouldn’t be upset, but given we paid $120, I could not be more disappointed. Although the fairways and greens were decent, I certainly wasn’t blown away by the course. If you’re considering playing a nice course in Tampa, I’d suggest the following over Cheval: -Fox Hollow -Westchase -TPC Tampa -Mangrove Bay (A municipal with better greens than Cheval)

First time here. Got a TeeOff deal for $39 on a holiday. The good. The staff were nice and helpful and the course layout is really challenging. Tight fairways and small greens always make for an interesting day. The bad, this course needs some TLC. Starting with the driving range and putting green. Rough shape. For the most part, the fairways were OK, but the greens were horrible. They had just been punched, but that wasn't the problem, some of them looked like Mortar practice ranges. Big divots without grass, big stretches of mud... just not in good shape. The drainage in the sand traps need to be addressed as well. Lots of standing water. I think with some real maintenance work, this course could be one of the best in town...mostly

Golf course is in good shape except for the last two greens. My biggest problem today was the playing time. Took over 5 hours to finish my round. Needs better course playing management on days like today. In all I will be back to play again. Fun course and challenging.
