Cove Cay Golf Club

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
Has a ton of potential
Had a great round here, definitely a fun challenging course. Most of the issues were with the course condition they cut the grass and it must have been the first time in a couple days because there were clippings everywhere to the point you were penalized for hitting in the fairway cause your ball was covered in grass. Pace of play was good but its slow season has great views and a sweet layout.
Golf
The layout of this courses much more fun than a lot of the other courses that I play at. Fairways were in good shape first cut rough was a little high lost a couple of balls that way played alone. Greens are in decent shape appeared to be fast even early morning adapted after a few holes Love this course play it and suggest anybody else play as much as possible. Good clubhouse good selection of food and drinks thanks for an enjoyable day
Great golf
This course begs you to go for it every hole. Challenging and fun rewarding you when you’re playing good. Bring your putting skills! Kinda fast slippery greens.
Excellent course
Fun fun fun
This course begs you to go for it. Its dog legs are just far enough to try and make the corner with a good shot. If you lay up though, you’re still good. Semi-fast rolling greens add so much fun.
Courses in great shape
Play Cove K all the time the back nine is absolutely great for a nice local golf course I live in St Pete excellent condition today I played even in some rain Fairways or not beat up greens were fast highly recommend this course
Beautiful Course
I've never seen this course in better shape than it was on this day. The first green had a boo boo on the very front of the green but the other 17 greens were perfect. The greens were faster than what I was used to, so it took me a few holes to dial them in. After that they were a joy to put on. They rolled smoothly with no unexpected bumps along the way. Three things I look for are grass on the tee boxes, grass in the fairways and grass on the greens. This course passed on all three. This course has enough twists and turns to make it interesting and the views of the Bay on the back nine are outstanding. I recommend it and I will be back soon.
Nice course
Great location and some pretty views. Not a long course but a bunch of really great holes.
FUN LITTLE GEM
Not too Long, but fun. Cove Cay has some unique holes like #12 that somewhat mimics #12 at Augusta. The course winds it way through Cove Cay Condo buildings and also along Tampa Bay. Fairways and greens were in good shape. Back nine tee boxes had just been punched, but not a big deal. Staff was excellent and we had a great conversation with the owner, Bill in the bar after the round. Already recommending Cove Cay to friends and will be back soon.
Cove Cay is in excellent condition and a real pleasure to play...it's right on Tampa Bay.....beautiful views, especially from the back 9 ......you will need all your clubs....not too much water or sand hazards on the front, but the back is a little tougher.....lots of water....don't need the driver all that much...just a couple of holes.....looking forward to returning again someday soon....
Very good course even better price
Played with my wife and some friends this past Saturday.. Staff is always great and the course was in really good shape. Cost was 54.00 for 7:23 tee time which is great! It's not a long course only 6000 from the back tees but it's challenging enough even though it's a bit short. You can see the bay from at least four holes and there are two that run right along side it. Just a really nice track for the money. They do a great job at Cove Cay.
Tight fairways
Good layout, tees in good shape. Bad spots on a couple of greens. Nothing you can’t deal with. Fun course.
Cove Cay
Cove Cay beautiful golf course. Love playing there.
Water water everywhere
Excellent course ... you need to plot your way round this course to avoid the water everywhere ... Staff where very pleasant and courteous... Dolphins playing in the bay at the side of the green .... for $55 it was a steal
Thanks
You visited during busy season and a very dry winter. When your business is a golf course there's always something being worked on.
