Love the location!
Fun course to play. They are working on the overall conditions. But a great value for the money
A great course, but wth problems.
I like Bluewater Bay and their staff is always friendly and professional, but had I known the course was in such bad shape, I would have played elsewhere. They have major irrigation problems and the greens have not recovered from their last punch.
Again, I like the layout and scenery around the course, but they will have to make a major recovery before I go back. It's a shame, actually because in past years, the course was one of my local favorites.
Let down by this course
I've been to this course several times over the years. Honestly, it has gone down hill. This course used to be in good condition but several of the greens were in very bad shape, along with the fairways. I was shocked when I saw the condition versus the condition in years past. This course has potential to be a good one. They used to have a unique layout with 3 9 hole courses but have closed one of the 9 hole courses so it has lost some of its luster. The staff was very friendly! If you are looking for a place to play where you don't have to wait, then play at Bluewater Bay. I hope they are able to update the course and get it back in better shape. The area around is being upgraded, so hopefully the course is on the list!
Don’t waste your time or money
This has to be the worst course I’ve ever played in my life. I never thought the course in the Bahamas could be beat as the “worst” course, but today it was over taken. Sad thing, the one in the Bahamas had suffered through a hurricane… this one has no excuses. First, we get there and they didn’t have us scheduled… this should have been a huge clue and we should’ve left. Next, no driving range, they had built houses where it had once been... Should’ve left. Next, we drive to the first tee… the tee boxes are a HOT mess (they have no grass and are all dirt!) when you look down the fairways the overall bones are great but then you realize they look like overgrown cow pastures. Some places the grass is dead and crunchy while other places it needs baling…when you approach the greens they are pitiful. They have crab grass, some other purple grass growing, dead spots, bare spots and sand on them. It became quite comical commentating about this experience. This golf course and playing condition is a total dumpster fire. There is no water on the course, cart girl, lawnmowers, sprinklers or a ground crew. Don’t waste 1 dime on this even if it’s free. Because your time isn’t!!!!
The greens were terrible
Course upkeep was subpar. Greens were aerated, brown, sandy and covered in weeds. Tee boxes sucked. Weeds all over the course. Eglin was better kept for half or less the price of this course.
Course on the Bay
For starters, the course does not have tee times earlier than 7:30. That is a major turn off during the summer when temperatures are pushing 100. Greens were super slow and bumpy. Putts did not roll true. There weee some pretty cool holes but it would definitely help to have played it before. The two par threes on the bay are a nice test in club selection. Overall, it is well worth the money when you don’t want to pay $179 over in Destin.
Bluewater Bay
The course needed a good bit of work. Some greens were good but most have bare spots or remnants of aeration in the last month. The course needing mowing and the greens had not been mowed in several days. The greens were slow for putting. It was a beautiful course but needs to be kept up better.
This course doesn’t look like it’s commercialized
Really poor condition
Spend the more than play here
Great golf!
From the moment I arrived, staff was engaged and cheerful, helpful. Course was in great shape. Pace of play was perfect.
Please go elsewhere
Tee boxes were terrible. Fairways were terrible. Greens, if you want to call them that, were unplayable. Pace of play was great since I assume people do not want to play there. I would suggest going elsewhere to play if you want an enjoyable round.
Spend a little more
Tee boxes were awful, greens were worse. It was worth the $36 but not a nickel more.
Nice views and greens
Awesome views and pretty quality greens, the fair ways are a little rough. Over all for the money a nice fun course
Not so bad as other reviews
Best price in the area. While the tee boxes and some areas of the fairways weren't in great condition, the greens putted nice and 90% of the fairways were fine. Enjoyed the layout. Typical house lined fairways. Would not say it was too tight.
