Cove Cay Golf Club
Rating Snapshot
About
Cove Cay Golf Club is located along the shores of Tampa Bay, offering scenic views and abundant wildlife. Water is a prominent feature on the golf course, coming into play on 12 holes. The course is tight with narrow, tree-lined fairways and several tricky dogleg holes. In addition to all of the water hazards, there are also deep bunkers lining the greensides. At 6,000 yards, it is not a long course by any means but what it lacks in length it makes up for in shot-making challenges. Thanks to its length though, it can usually be played in under four hours. The layout features a diverse set of hazards that will require the use of every club in your bag. Cove Cay Golf Club's signature hole is the par-5 17th. This dramatic hole runs alongside the bay, making accuracy a necessity in order to reach the small peninsula green.

Cove Cay on Tampa Bay Photo submitted by webbknight on 09/21/2012
Nice people, good layout
Approaching 5 hours is just too long. We'll run, nice people, good layout and maintenance. Just can't do 5 hour rounds. Played twice, likely will not play again.

Cove Cay
Excellent course. Just the right amount of challenge
Cove Cay K. Judd
First time playing this course. Did not realize it had a few beautiful waterfront holes. Looking forward to playing again.
slow, slow, slow
if you want a short course that takes 5 1/2 hours to play, this is the place to go. As a bonus, you might get to tee off 20 minutes late late we did, for a total time of almost 6 hours. No marshalls in sight to speed up play. Very disappointing.
Visitors Fix Your Ball Marks & Rack the Traps
You can always tell the snowbirds are coming back to Florida. Excessive ball marks on the greens and unraked footprints in the bunkers. If you can't bend over to fix your ball mark on the green or rake the bunker, take up bowling, please.
Contest going on
Nice course in good conditions and in a nice hoods whit wiev over the bay.
But we where suprised after 11 holes suddely a contest start whit shotgun start on every hole whit some kids. The pace was horribly and no one mentioned this to us before start.
Challenging course
A great challenge, a bit narrow. Some teebox need some attention but overall is the course in good condition. Suddenly there was an competition whit shootgun start so we have to wait the last 5 holes.
