Diamond Hill Golf Club - Dover, Florida

Played golf here a few times now and you can definitely tell they are putting money into the course. All carts are brand new with built in GPS which definitely saves you from having to pull out your range finder every shot. Staff is always friendly and seem to enjoy working there. If it’s been a while since you have been I definitely would suggest you checking it back out.

Last weekend was my 1st time playing here and I will definitely be back again. The course staff was great and the beverage cart was available numerous times during our round. This is a decent course for higher handicappers but can also be a challenge from the back tees if you're good enough to accept the challenge. The layout is a lot more hilly than your typical Florida golf course which I really liked the most. The course could use a little better maintenance in some areas and the greens were just ok. Hopefully they can make them better but as long as the price doesn't skyrocket like everything else seems to be nowadays, I'll keep coming back to play.

Sorry I didn't take pictures. Played this course many times over many years. This was the worst experience I've had in a long time anywhere! First, the course should be embarrassed to charge $86 for a course in such horrible shape. Lots of bare ground in fairways. On some holes moving the ball to the rough would have given a better lie . The greens may have been redone but they are still in need of lots of work; irregular surface, bumpy, patches around the holes making putting a crap shoot. Plenty of courses in the area in better shape and a lower cost. Diamond hill owner/management should be ashamed. we won't be back anytime soon

Not a bad golf ⛳ course for condition but I don't like how the holes can run together. A couple of the greens were in pretty bad shape but the course was fun to play in a tournament environment.

Taking a week from work for a "staycation", and day one had to be a round of golf, right?

Booked our tee time for 3 online with no technical issues.

Arrived early to get some warm up time in and get the lay of the land since it is our first time.

Have to say the staff is very friendly and helpful.

Starter did a great job of pacing the groups, even though it wasn't extremely busy for a Friday morning.

Pace of play was perfect on the front nine. Back nine, we did get a little stacked up from a slow playing group 2-3 ahead of us, but where is there a place that this never happens?

Huge props to the regulars in the group behind us that gave us some tips, and for noticing that two of us were southpaws.

Overall the course is very fun to play. Front nine does lull you into a false sense of security with some wider forgiving fairways and receptive greens. The back nine will bite you in the tail if you aren't careful. Nice mix of challenges though.

One improvement I would recommend is on the course mapping. Card and tee placards are a little deceiving for direction. There were a couple holes that we weren't exactly sure where to play, especially number 10. Number 10 isn't a dog leg right, it's a freaking 90 degree right hand turn. Luckily, I hit what I thought was a bad shot, and ended up with a decent look.

Course was a tad on the dry side. Also to be expected for this time of year in Florida. I don't know how the Hillsborough County irrigation rules apply to golf courses, even though the course states they use reclaimed water.

Bunkers were in decent shape. I was fortunate enough to test 3 of the out (yes, that was sarcasm on my part).

There was some general landscape and tree trimming work being done on the course.

Beverage cart passes were on par (nice). Did grab a couple dogs and a double Maker's Mark at the turn. Snack/bar prices were reasonable.

In fact, green fees were fine, in my opinion. I see so many people bashing businesses for the prices. It cost money to run a business, chill out. These were reasonable for the type of course, time of year, and under the current economy.

Overall, we enjoyed the day and will definitely play the course again.

Nice job!

The most anti-family-friendly golf course I’ve ever experienced. On two separate occasions, the assistant manager has gone out of his way to prevent my family from enjoying a round of golf. The first time, my wife—8 months pregnant—was turned away. The second time, I was refused when I brought my kids along to ride with me. The excuse? ‘Not enough carts for riders,’ despite more than 20 carts clearly sitting idle out front. If you value a welcoming atmosphere for your family, avoid this course at all costs. Their treatment of families is absolutely unacceptable.

Glorious weather for our game at Diamond Hill. Really busy but friendly staff in pro shop and the starter. Took about 5 hours from 2pm start. Very good layout with some lovely holes esp par 3 hole 15. Greens excellent. Would recommend a visit.

There is no excuse for charging people $70 a person for a course that is burnt to this extent. Cost of the round should have been $ 40 or less for the condition of the greens. First time at this place and the last. They knew what they were doing and pulled a bait and switch on people knowing they were starting renovations and killing everything off. On top of this course layout is not the best and staff could be a little less cranky. Take your money elsewhere.
