The Golf Club at Bluewater Bay

Played about a month ago, and course was in great shape. Now, half the greens look like a roundup bomb hit them. Also in the middle of going down from 2 courses to one, and closing the driving range. Golf popularity increased with COVID-19, and you can’t fill a course? This used to be one of the best facilities around… what happened?

This course is closing. 9 of the 27 holes are closed. The driving range is closed and the remaining 18 holes are not being maintained well. The greens barely have grass. This was once a nice course but now on its way out.

Play this corse every year on vacation. Not sure what happened but this course is not in good condition. Fairways in poor to average. Tees very poor. Greens (espically Marsh Corse) extremely poor. Bare spots, covered with sand. Recently punched with no mention of this on web site. Will have to seriously consider if I will play next year.

Tee boxes undefined and not cut.

Edges of fairways untrimmed.

Green had been punched. Too much top dressing, uncut.

Overall not good.

Have you putted in sand traps?

You’ll be putting in sand traps.

Fairways not mowed, greens and tee boxes in port condition. Course layout is fine however maintenance crew seems to be Missing in Action

It's a nice golf course, and awesome staff.

The back 9 was closed today for maintenance.

Over all It's a nice golf course...

Upon arriving I was told that nine of the 18holes were closed. That was not disclosed to me when I made my tee time. I asked the pro shop could I receive a refund and they said no. As you can understand I was not happy. I had booked through an online site. I reached out to them and they declined a refund. I went back to the pro shop and discussed this with the attendant and he was unwilling to help and was very arrogant. I played the course and all in all it was a very enjoyable course. It had its rough spots. But for the money it was fine. But I will not be back because of the pro shop attendant.

A little confusing to get to from Destin, but we’ll worth the trip! Had a great booking experience with very little advance notice. Drove past many high dollar courses to get to this gem. There are a couple holes where you can actually see across the bay. Will play again someday.

Not a bad course for the money but I did expect a little more imagination with more holes where the bay comes into play.

This course can be a real test if you get out of the fairway. The rough was thick and a little high which made the approach shot somewhat trickier. Good pace of play and a friendly staff.

Course layout was good, but the greens and fairways needed work. Greens were slow and fairways we’re spongy.

Once upon a time, I’ll bet this was a great golf course. However, it felt like they are financially failing and have no money to maintain the course. Some of the poorest, and slowest greens I have ever played. The fairways were fine.
