Welcome Back Twin Brooks Golf Course
The city of St. Petersburg welcomes golfers back to Twin Brooks Golf Course, 3800 22nd Avenue South, following a $1.5 million, six month golf course renovation. The new course offers larger, manicured platinum Paspalum greens, an expanded, covered, 18-station driving range tee and target greens downrange, as well as a three-hole practice course and two practice greens.
Beginning Friday, golfers will hit the links on a 9-hole, par 3 course, which offers 1,068 yards in length with putting surfaces averaging more than 3,500 square feet, much larger than the former 18-hole, par 3 course. The newly renovated course also offers golfers a 7,000 square foot platinum Paspalum putting green. The course includes undulating mounds, added to simulate play on a regulation course, a hidden manmade lake adjacent to three holes, and scenic views of Clam Bayou and the Pinellas Trail, all accessible by 12 new electric golf cars or on foot.
