The Golf Club at Bluewater Bay

Played 18 holes today. I got a golf now tee time for under $50 and to me it was about average overall. I’m from out of town and so it was my first time playing it. I wasn’t looking to spend more than $50 though, so I didn’t have any big expectations. I would say looking back that I think paying $50 is about the most the cost should be. There was nothing that jumped out at me as really beautiful or spectacular. The greens were decent and fairways were decent. It has an old course feel to it. It had that feel as if not much upkeep has been done to it…kinda had that worn out feel. But like I said I was t looking for a $100 green fee here. I enjoyed it and the golf staff was super nice! I didn’t partake in any lunch or snacks while I was there. I did notice that the golf range was not in working order either. It was an average overall experience. I would say that if your looking for an under $50 green fee, this is only a decent round of golf and there is no “memorable experience” to be had here based solely on the course itself.

Had a good time playing the course. Pace of play was great, fairways were in good shape, but some of the greens had some bad spots. Course layout was nice and easy to navigate around. I would recommend for the money especially if your a novice to intermediate golfer. I’m a 10 handicap and played a couple under that.

Good layout. Average course conditions. Would recommend to friends

Not my first rodeo at the course. I grew up on it. We live much closer to a lot of courses. But I always make the trip to play blue water. Staff is fantastic, course is in good shape and unlike the courses in Destin and Santa Rosa Beach you don’t have to wait 10 minutes every time you hit the ball because the course is so backed up. Is it perfect? No, but I’ll put it up to most of the courses in the area.

I've played here many times. I actually live in the Bluewater Bay and considered becoming a member many times. I mean why not support my local golf course, right? Every time I play here, I'm reminded why i shouldn't become a member. I mean the rates are okay, sometimes. The course is what it is. Not the best, but it's okay most of the time. The management has switched multiple times and honestly i see no difference. The people who work the front desk should honestly be fired first. Its the same people over and over no matter how many times management changes. Don't get me wrong, some are nice, but others act very unwelcoming. I have walked in trying to get a tee time and get the cold shoulder at times like its not policy to take walk-ins. I'll remind you i live on the course and see nothing but tumbleweeds sometimes. Once i showed up with no one on the first 3 or 4 holes. I tried to walk on and was told i had to wait until a group of 16 to tee off. I asked when they will tee off and was told all of their party isn't here yet. I asked why can't i go ahead yet and they were still practicing on the green at the time. I was told they, 16 golfers, are fast and I'd enjoy it more if I went after them. So instead of waiting an hour, i went to Eglin and had a great time. Walked right in too, lol. The course is very mediocre and could be more, but unfortunately after living here for 7 years, it won't. It will likely close down unless something changes. It's okay to play once, but not the best to return.

Great track. Staff was very friendly. Pace of play was great. Will definitely play again when I come back to the area.

The course was a great experience overall, the only downside is a couple of the greens were in bad condition. The staff was very friendly, the price was great, and the layout was awesome! I’ll definitely be coming back.

This could be a really nice track, it just needs additional investment. Weed management detracts from what could be a very appealling venue. Greens were not all good with some having quite a bit of rough/bare sections, and the Ft. Walton public course had better.

What a dump this has become. Wayyyyy over priced. No Range. Fairways look like a pasture. Greens haven’t been mowed, maybe ever. Need a driver to hit a ten foot putt. Check in and ask for couple bottled waters and Gatorades for the round and, of course, the snack bar is closed…. at 9am. Drink cart finally shows up at 9th hole. This course is for you if you enjoy terrible service and hitting off crowned, sandy tee boxes.

The course was in pretty good condition, especially with all the rain. There were double dog legs on some holes, which made it challenging to attack.

I had an nice time playing the course with my friends. The course was maintained well enough. A couple of greens were rather brown and needed watering with it being so hot. I would play this course again
