Countryway Golf Club

Overview: Tampa’s Countryway Golf Club is an 18-hole executive layout by Steve Smyers, covering about 3,471 yards at par 61 and built for an approach-focused round rather than championship distance.

History: The course was built in 1989 and has continued as a neighborhood public facility. Its executive format reflects a common Florida golf tradition: a complete 18-hole routing that emphasizes approach play and pace over maximum distance.

Did You Know? Countryway’s par 61 comes from its executive design, not from a reduced number of holes. The full 18-hole scorecard still asks players to manage a varied sequence of short par fours and par threes.
