Mangrove Bay Golf Course is a Municipal course run by the city of St. Petersburg. It's one of the best city owned courses in Tampa Bay, which explains why it's usually so crowded. They also have a great driving range and practice facility that's also lighted and open at night. The driving range is always crowded also, LOL!
We've seen a lot of wildlife while out on the course including racoons, snakes, alligators, ospreys, turtles, jumping fish and lots of other birds. Below is a photo of my Dad showing off one of the many "Beware of Rattlesnakes" signs posted around the course.
My 80 year old Dad played well, shooting a 92 and I shot 83 a couple days ago, so be sure to check out this fine Muni course.
