Captains Cove is a friendly and relaxed private club located on the eastern shore of Virginia just outside the Maryland state line. The course was in immaculate condition and features a lot of water hazards and bunkers making it one of the most challenging 9 hole courses I’ve played. The staff and members treated me as if I was one of their own and made playing here a memorable experience. I highly recommend this course as it’s a lot of fun to play and is a fairly priced challenge for golfers of all skill levels.

Golf review: Fun, tricky, and well-kept course. Hole #1 is a doozy, with water on either side and a very small landing area for your second shot. Giving you a taste of the many hazards you'll encounter during a round. Be prepared to address fairway and green side traps, mounds, and ponds and bring your precision shots. Consisting of only 9 holes, there are different tee boxes for the front and back 9 for a full 18. I'd recommend taking a cart because the walk between holes can get long. I had a great time at Captain's Cove, only a short 25 minute drive from Chincoteague.

A friend brought me here, he is a member. There's a lot of water on this course. I think I found most ponds with my balls. 9 holes with multiple sets of tees. Greens are in pretty good shape and the layout is challenging. It was early April so the rough was probably shorter than normal. The fairways were fine. No driving range and small practice putting green. Carts are fine no GPS. GPS would have helped a lot with distances to water.

I was part of a group of beginners attempting to play golf at captains cove today. We were harassed by the ranger who was condescending and aggressive. Pro: they reimbursed us after telling us the ranger would not stop harassing us, and suggested we just stop playing. Con: ranger was rude and made fun of beginner’s swing/attempting to play golf. Note: one of our crew was a more seasoned golfer that had been here before and was not given this same treatment with a group of guys. Based on other posts on yelp it sounds like the Cove may have an issue with women?

This place openly discriminates. Look at the reviews on yelp and see other experiences. We had security called on us for letting our dogs out of the car and letting them use the facilities in the grass next to our house as soon as we got out of the car after a 6 hour drive. There were no signs posted and we cleaned up after the dogs. Mind you this was a vacant lot next to our home not a resident lawn. Security came and immediately revoked our guest passes that we lost out $300 on because we walked in the grass with the dogs. Once we entered the home and saw the sign we realized the error. We explained that we had not been in the house to even see the policy but that didn’t matter, despite multiple residents allowing their dogs to use the vacant lot and even wander into our property. The residents are friendly until they realize you are a renter. Once they know you rent they treat you terrible. I can’t speak to the golf, but food we had was equivalent to some you might get a mall food court. The rental company was great and even commented that they have these problems often. The house was great and the owners had taken great care to make sure the home was accommodating. For those that think this is just sour grapes take a look at the policy that we were greeted with….doesn’t give you a warm fuzzy feeling on a relaxing vacation.
