Golf Course Superintendent

Carrollwood Country Club - Golf Course Superintendent

 

FACILITY DESCRIPTION

Founded in 1972, Carrollwood Country Club was the largest
Country Club community in the Tampa Bay area.

At the time the club would have been considered “in the country” as Tampa had not yet grown north to its current state. The Club was very successful in those years and at one time had as many as 1000 golfing members and 600 Tennis Members. Fast forward 30 years to 2003, the Club underwent an extensive renovation. Not only were the golf courses rebuilt, but they were also redesigned under the guidance of the Dan Maples Golf Design Company. It took two years to renovate all 27 holes.

In addition to the golf course, all new clubhouse, pool and tennis facilities were constructed to create the new Carrollwood Country Club. Today, CCC offers the best in family amenities including 27 holes of Championship Golf, a full-service clubhouse with banquet facilities, a full social calendar, 8 Har-Tru Tennis Courts, and a Jr. Olympic size swimming pool. While the Club has never been in better shape, we continue to reinvest into our facility to ensure it is a relevant and thriving property.
