Rating 70.4

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.

Cool layout, to many short par 3s that are just kinda stuck between holes, fairways are in poor shape but it is winter.

Solid course, Great views

This was a solid overall course. Challenging but not impossible. I was glad to be paired with a regular who was able to guide me around the course for my first time. Awesome views from several holes of Tampa Bay. Definitely recommend and would return again.

Greens were in good shape. Pace of play was slow, but mainly due to influx of visitors to area.

Interesting course layout

Challenging 18 holes with lot of water! Will definitely return. By the way, if you need some second experience balls, go and play in the low tide period! There are plenty of balls in the bay!

1hour 48 min round in am

Booked a hot deal for 20 bucks after using a discount was first guy on the course got to hit some balls on the practice green and then got sent out as a single after the couple I was suppose to be paired with asked to play alone if they could. Finished front 9 in 52 mins. Real unique lay out. Lots of water in play but nothing to extreme you. Short course but they make the greens tiny with lots of slope so you have to be accurate. Will be going back tomorrow haha
