Enjoyed this course. Very getable, great views of Tampa Bay and course was in good condition. Had Ping G430’s for rental clubs. Tee’d off at 7:37, was done in under 4 hours.

Extremely challenging.. No cash, card only No hot dogs or soda at the turn around? This would be a perfect course for a roving Snack cart with beer,, sandwiches etc

Good course. Good condition. Slow pace of play. Cart died on the 17th hole and we had to walk back to the clubhouse in the rain. Staff didn’t seem to care or offer any apology. Besides that it was an enjoyable round.

Short course, but definitely the most difficult course in Pinellas county. Bardmoor comes in second. You better be a single digit handicap if you plan on playing here. Lots of trees and ponds will cost you strokes unless you hit a laser straight tee shot. Also, every green is a raised bowl shaped green guarded with two or three bunkers each. Tee boxes were terrible dirt patches peppered with weeds. Fairways are hard pan with very few patches of good grass to hit from. Bunkers are cheap dirt and not sand. Greens are Bermuda and are lightning fast. They were in meh, shape, but very difficult. If you are used to shooting 100-130, then this course is for you. Course definitely needs a facelift. Take the time and spend a little more money to play courses in Bradenton or Sarasota, you will be much happier. On a positive note, there were some nice views of Tampa Bay and the Bayside bridge on the back nine. That was a stress reliever. Overall, I don’t plan on ever playing here again, as I’m sure you surmised, especially for $78 in April of 2026.

Just played the front 9 at cove cay. Good enough course, it has been drive and they have worn out the tee boxes we were playing on but I guess we could have played different tees. But I had an emergency and got called away after 9. Playing partner said go to the front and they should give a rain check. Pretty normal and I have done it a couple times. Seems pretty normal. Guy behind the desk said unless it rains we can’t give you a rain check. Pretty crazy as I know many other courses would do it, if nothing else to get you back to the course to pay for another 9 and drinks and food. Well won’t be coming back even if it does rain. **** response to the reply “all courses are that way”. You are 100% wrong, many courses will give a curiosity rain check when something happens in life and you have to leave. And those courses get their customers back to the course. I’m a local and I play golf all around Clearwater and I probably would have came back as my friend plays there a good bit but not if there is zero customer service ****
