Chi Chi Rodriguez Golf Club

About Chi Chi Rodriguez Golf Club

This Clearwater municipal track carries the name of the charismatic Puerto Rican legend who made golf entertaining with his sword celebrations and rapid-fire one-liners, and while the course itself won't dazzle you with championship conditioning, it delivers exactly what you'd expect from a solid public facility - honest golf at a fair price. The layout takes advantage of Florida's flat terrain without relying on artificial water hazards or forced carries, instead presenting straightforward holes that reward accuracy over power and give you plenty of chances to work on your short game around relatively forgiving greens. What sets this place apart from other municipal courses in the Tampa Bay area is its walkable design and the fact that they actually encourage it - rare for Florida golf where cart fees are usually built into the economics. The 4.2 rating from nearly 450 reviews tells the real story: this isn't destination golf, but it's the kind of unpretentious, well-maintained track where you can play a quick round after work without breaking the bank or your spirit on overly penal design choices.
