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
greens poor conditions
like the course and went back bc it was in good condition with good greens. however numerous greens had large unplayable areas and others very much bumpy. was very disappointed to pay that much for greens in that shape
Enjoyed it
Nice course... Wish they would have let us do the back nine... Still a beautiful course!
i wouldn't play agian
front nine conditions were not good. Greens were in bad shape.. A lot to be desired
Wonderful course and will be back again!
The course was wonderful! It was our first time and we were here on vacation from Ohio. We will be back for sure. It was windy and the par 3 holes are longer then you expect.
The staff were very nice and friendly! If you want a scenic, fun but yet challenging course, play this one for sure!
Cheers,
Pintu
This course was rated too high for what was reality.
The greens were half dirt/mud and the fairways were rock hard. The driving range and practice green were the worst I've seen in my last 5 weeks in FL.
The front nine was in especially rough shape with abundant trees affecting your game too much.
The back nine was much better and views were awesome.
Should be charging about $25
It started with a terrible cart I had to return and the 2nd cart wasn't much better. The fairways were mostly in terrible shape. Some were pretty good. I don't know what they are doing with course fees but they need to make a real investment in what could be a "marquee" course.
Pricey for greens with bare spots
Friendly staff with a great course layout. Fairways and greens were not in good shape.
Nice Course
Pace of play was horocious. Followed a group that had no idea how to play golf or golf etiquette. Waited 30 minutes at 10th hole . Nice Course but no Course Management
Poor tee boxes
Greens below average
Fairways need water
One and Done
I’m actually embarrassed to say that I played this sandlot, I have never seen anything like this set up and I’m not just texting this for response from anyone however it’s very overpriced and the staff s/b be ashamed for collecting a check and deceived action, and those on this page who claims that it’s in great shape and it’s very challenging, well it is in great shape for anything but golf and it is challenging especially on the cart path which is worst then pavements in New York and Boston, the tee boxes are horrible I rather hit off rubber mats instead, the greens are just as bad patches here and there, if anything Cove Cay should pay people too play there plus give them a discount. We couldn’t wait to leave this trap and we hadn’t even made the turn, this was the first time that we didn’t stop at the 19th for snacks and beverages that how bad this place is...NEVER AGAIN!
