Bay Palms Golf Complex: What to Know

Apr 21, 2023
Katie
About a month ago, I signed up to volunteer with the Tampa Gator Club - go Gators! - during their 2023 Scholarship Golf Tournament. This is their biggest scholarship fundraiser of the year, which they hosted last weekend at Bay Palms Golf Complex. To no one’s surprise, this was my first time on the course, but it was gorgeous! They have a great setup there, and I honestly think it’s a bit of a hidden gem for all you golfers out there. If you’re ready for tee time, here’s what you need to know.

Here’s how our costs broke down, and approximately what we’d plan to budget for our 2023 anniversary trip.

One of my absolute favorite things is when a friend asks for travel recommendations. I love sharing my love of travel and the great experiences I have had across the world. And most of all I love sharing the food I ate while traveling.

On my most recent cruise, we visited a new port; Costa Maya, Mexico. While this is a popular cruise port this was my first time ever visiting. While the port itself offers your typical dolphin tours, beach breaks, and Mayan ruins, we were interested in a visit to Bacalar Lagoon.

We may be preparing to leave for Sweden shortly, but it got me thinking about what a great month we had exploring locally here in the Tampa Bay area. Having a toddler has definitely forced us to get creative with our weekend plans, and we've uncovered some awesome new places in the process. Here are a few from just this past month...

Planning for Sweden, Estonia, and Finland

Mar 13, 2023

I can hardly believe that we are leaving for Scandinavia this month! When we went to New Zealand in November, we had the luxury of being there for close to two weeks, so we were able to space out a lot of our activities. That is definitely not the case for this trip. Similar to when I went on a girls’ trip with my mom and sister, we will have six days to cover three countries. That’s right, three countries! Because of that, we’ve had to be very strategic in our planning. Here’s what’s on the books...

It’s Strawberry Season in Florida!

The last time I went to Parkesdale Market in Plant City, I was sorely disappointed to find that they weren’t offering their “world famous” strawberry shortcake, as it was out of season. This year, I was ready. Parkesdale Market definitely goes all out during strawberry season, but there are some other options you can capitalize on if you’re in the Tampa Bay area...
