TPC Tampa Bay is an 18-hole golf course located in Lutz, Florida.
Opened in 1991, TPC Tampa Bay was designed by Bobby Weed in consultation with tour professional Chi Chi Rodriguez and is part of the Tournament Players Club network operated by the PGA Tour. In February 2008, the facility was sold to the Heritage Golf Group, but retained its TPC branding under a licensing agreement.[1]
In 2015, TPC Tampa Bay opened up a new modern restaurant called ¡CUATRO. The inspiration for ¡CUATRO not only came from the word “Fore!” shouted across the TPC Tampa Bay golf course (which provides the restaurant’s lush backdrop), but also from the four culinary influences Chefs Michael Toscano and Wes Morton bring from their own family tables: Mexican, Italian, Cajun and American home cooking. Chef Michael Toscano has been recognized as a James Beard “Rising Star Chef” Semi-Finalist and winner of the StarChefs.com “New York Rising Stars Award”.[2] ¡CUATRO is open to the public 7 days a week for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. ¡CUATRO set a record at the second annual Tampa Bay Vintage Beverages Tailgate Taste Fest in October 2015, taking home three of the eight awards given winning...

• "People's Choice Award for Chicken," also with Jerk Chicken Wings
• "Judges' Award for Sides" with Chef Michael Toscano's delicious recipe for Reuben Eggrolls [3]
