Great Course Conditions. Friendly Staff!

Michelle in the club house was so nice and had a great music playlist going! The bar was very cool with sports memorabilia everywhere and a serious Masters atmosphere. The course played great, most every fairway had good grass and the greens were smooth, just a little slow. Quite a few leaves out from the recent wind/rain storm. But other than that it was a perfect day on Bluewater Bay, HIGHLY recommend!

Affordable course with above average conditions!

The course overall is under prior year renovation and is currently in above average condition. All putting greens with the exception of one is in excellent conditions, some fairways are better than others and you can tell they are growing back from the prior year renovation. I would highly recommend this course for the cost, location, layout, and excellent pace of play.

Diamond In The Rough

This course has vastly improved since I last played it several years ago! Most of the fairways are improved and there are a couple of magnificent views of the bay! Some fairways require improvement along with tee boxes. It appears the greens have been over-seeded. I would definitely recommend playing this course since it is good for the value!

Getting better

I hadn’t played her in over 25 years. Last several years the reviews said it was TERRIBLE

It is getting better. Greens are good and fairways are spotty. I would say it is a good $30 course now.

First visit and first game with my son

I read this course is trying to make a comeback. This is true. But it was a great trip. Yes. There are improvements needed, but none of you are on the PGA Tour. These courses are dad's, sons and friends to visit and have a good time together and enjoy being outdoors. I rated the pace of play lower because we were being pushed by groups behind. Overall, this is a great course and we will be back.

Shaping Up

This course has tremendously improved since last played several years ago! It is evident that the new ownership is making progress on course improvement ! The tee boxes require sprucing up but overall enjoyed the scenic views and the round! Will definitely play this course again!

Don't bother

We only played 9 holes, for $30 I guess it wasn't too bad but the course itself needs a lot of work. The greens were like putting on shag carpet, absolutely horrible.

Stay in the fairways, the rough is rough!

Fairways and greens are in great shape. Greens aren’t super fast but roll well. Tee boxes could use a little attention.

Staff is very friendly.

Thanks for a great outing!
