Treasure Bay Golf and Tennis
Today's GroupGolfer Florida feature is perfect for the vacation golfer looking for a break from the water, the determined golfer looking for real-world practice and the working golfer looking for a convenient way to enjoy the game: $15 for Two 18-Hole Rounds of Golf at Treasure Bay Golf and Tennis in Treasure Island near St. Petersburg ($32 Value. Good Any Day, Any Time until May 15, 2014!)
If you're one of the golfers described above — or just another golf lover that can't resist any excuse to get out and play — let Treasure Bay Golf and Tennis show you the way to your next round.
Situated on a small peninsula of a man-made residential island in Treasure Island's piece of the Intercoastal Waterway, the nine-hole, par-27 executive-length golf course here was opened in 1976 and offers an interesting perspective of Florida coastal living.
Measuring just over 900 yards from the farthest tees, this course is not the longest course you'll ever play, even for a par-3. But what it lacks in length it makes up for in value: If your weakness lies in your 100-yard-and-in game, this is the ideal spot for you.
Repetitive wedge shots under real-world conditions to a real green — not just a flag on a driving range — can do miracles for your short game. And, if you happen to be a fan of the other country-club sport, tennis, this facility offers excellent conditions on its lighted hard and even clay courts, which are available for great rates daily in two-hour chunks. So show up to Treasure Island Golf and Tennis and get to work!
