This is part of USF campus and I always wonder why they don't use the course as a teaching tool. The layout is difficult and the greens are wrong for the condition. All the greens are raised up and small. Because florida has all sand the slopes are soft and you just can't run the ball up to greens. With small greens this means you will score 10 strokes higher than your average. Can also play real slow since high handicappers lose lots of balls and take a long time trying to get on greens. Has great potential but I would suggest the Babe or Rogers Park instead.
