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.

Excellent course!

Came down from Ohio for vacation and was very excited to play this course. All of the staff are very friendly and welcoming. The course has phenomenal views. Also a good challenge.

Ranger was abrupt and rude.

Course is in decent shape for a FLA golf course. Worn out in many areas, especially greens. No starter and the ranger was abrupt and not at all friendly when referring to pace of play. Try a nice greeting, a little courtesy then ease into rules. You’re not a traffic cop who’s having a bad day!

Holes hadn't been moved in a while. Back nine is very scenic I would wait to play it after spring break.

Very slow, Played on a Sunday afternoon. Tee’d off at 2:15 and tried to make the turn at 4:45 to find that there were 3 groups waiting to tee off on 10. Started driving to the parking lot to leave and saw the from nine looked wide open. We went in the pro shop and they let us tee off on the front to play the front again. We made it 4 holes until it got backed up again. We went back and played a par 3 again to kill some time and still couldn’t tee off when we got to the tee box on the next hole. We left after that

Worst round of golf EVER!!!!

Cart packed fairway ground is very hard with little to no grass. Waited at every hole for 5 to 15 minutes. Two Two-some cut in on 10th instead of going to 1st hole with no Ranger assistance patrolling. WORST GOLFING EXPERIENCE EVER!!!!!!!!!
