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.

Back 9 was a bit slower but hooked up with another twosome drew and Laura who were first class people and very good and fun golfers. Enjoyed playing with them on this course

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.

Returned to Try Again

First time we played it was too slow and couldn’t finish the back nine. Four years later, still slow play due to a tournament, this course was in great shape. Watered well. Needs all new sand in the traps.
