Bardmoor Golf & Tennis ClubSeminole

Bardmoor Golf & Tennis Club in Seminole is one of the Pinellas peninsula's most storied golf venues - a former PGA Tour event host (JCPenney Classic) that now operates as a well-maintained semi-private club available to outside guests. The 6,912-yard par-72 layout plays through the mature trees and water features of a classic Florida golf-community design, offering one of the better values on the Gulf Coast for a course with genuine tournament history.

The course dates to 1974, when William Diddel laid it out, and it has been revised twice since: Ed Ault and Tom Clark in 1983, then Gary Koch -- the tour player and broadcaster -- in a 2001 redesign. Through its tournament years it was a fixture on both the men's and women's professional schedules.

The layout has four architects on it. William Diddel drew the original in 1974, Ed Ault and Tom Clark revised it in 1983, and Gary Koch redesigned it in 2001. What that leaves is a 7,015-yard par 72 that reads as a traditional Florida parkland course rather than any one designer's statement. It is also one of the few courses in the state putting on bent grass rather than a Bermuda ultradwarf, over Bermuda fairways.

Bardmoor has hosted enough professional golf that the list of players who have competed here reads like a hall of fame -- Palmer, Payne Stewart, Couples, Kite, Norman, Azinger, Nancy Lopez and Juli Inkster among them. It remains a semi-private club you can play, at a fraction of what that history would suggest.
