Had a really fun time here, love AJs restaurant nearby, going back tomorrow! That's AJs first and then the golf course next! Lilly and Ashley are awesome! I'm at the restaurant golf course now, it's great!

Quick pace. First 2-3 holes still recovering from the hurricane. Can’t beat the value in peak season

Played there on 12/17/24. Course condition was good. Greens are small. Lots of water. Staff was nice. I see a lot of folks griping about the pace of play, but we teed off at 10:45ish and got around in a little over 4 hours. The hot dog I got at the turn was one of the highlights of the day. Big all beef dog perfectly grilled. So good! Met Pat and she was very friendly.

Course was in good shape. Some greens were a bit bumpy and inconsistent. Pace of play decent for a 10am tee time on a Saturday.

Unique layout that I found challenging, water is in play for many holes. Nice water views on the back nine

Staff was excellent. Everyone from the guy in the clubhouse, starter lady, beverage cart lady, April the bartender and Dan the waiter were genuinely nice and friendly. Really enhanced the experience

Food was good at the restaurant. Great place to hang out after the round with excellent views of the bay

The greens fees were reasonable I felt like I got my money’s worth. F&B fairly priced too. I would absolutely return for a future round without hesitation

Nice ⛳ course.played her last Friday. Layout is a little challenging but makes you tighten up 😉.
I love it's by the water 👌. The fairways are pretty good but on a few holes the Greens could use a little TLC. But still overall a good place to play
They have bar and great menu breakfast lunch and dinner. Staff all around are great !! Pro shop has all kinds of goodies & They offer $20 golf clinics on SAT.just show up definitely great way to improve your game. They have Ladies leagues "Divot Divas"🏌️ and men leagues too.
Cart girls available and I loved there was plenty of bathrooms thru out the 18 holes

The course is nice and the staff was friendly but that's where it ended. They do not accept cash at all which is an inconvenience for customers. I was stuck with 2 three Somes on vacation from Jersey, they had rented 2 bags between the 6 of them and they shared. There was also a 6 some on the couse. We teed off at 7:08 and finished at 11:35. Doubt i will be going back.
I posted this a week ago and no response, they know they have problems there and have no intention on fixing them because they are OK with it. I will tell evey person I know and show them the pics which have a date and location stamp on them.

8/29- adjusted to 1 star as no response from anybody there. A beautiful view of the bay does not give you the right to treat paying customers this way. When your staff allows to happen what happened to me, it doesn't just effect me, but everyone behind the group I was stuck with and you not doing anything about it.

Used to play here a lot in the summers of 2022 and 2023, haven't played here at all this summer until recently, and i wish I hadn't. It was very upsetting seeing it in its current state compared to the Cove Cay I used to know and love.

For $50 (in the summer, will probably be $90~ in the fall, spring, winter), you get greens that look like this. They're patchy, often barren, dry, bouncy, neglected, sad. I can name about a dozen courses within driving distance from here that are a better $50 round of golf, some even closer to $35.

The driving range is actually a wedge range since it's not big enough to be able to hit driver on, and even a bucket of balls seems awkwardly overpriced.

There's no rangers anywhere on the course, but it was mostly empty when I played, which wasn't surprising, given the aforementioned details.

When the food and beverage cart came around, I asked what she had for sandwiches or other foods. It was just chips and other snacks. I then asked for just a Gatorade. She only had 0 sugar Gatorade left. At 2 o clock. It's not that there's anything wrong with any of that, but for $50+ I expected just a little more.

And I think that's the best way I can sum it up in general: for the price they're charging, there are better places to golf. Simple as that.

Old course, short (6000 from the tips) but it was challenging. There is an overall roughness to the course, it could probably a good overhaul. Many of the greens had issues, but it seems like many of the courses around are having green issues. The most egregious infraction had many of the sand traps filled to the rim with water, like mini lakes. Need to work on the drainage. Not saying I didnt have fun and like I said it was challenging with it's a abundant water ( not just in the sand traps. They do have a driving range and putting green and the cart person came by several times.
