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.

Comfortable course

The design and layout are really nice. Not a long course, but tight in spots where you need to concentrate or you can spend a shot recovering. Need to play a couple of times to know how and where to play your shot. Tee boxes have always seemed to be an issue. Greens for the most part had a good roll, but some had noticeable bad areas as did some fairways.

FUN!!!

Simple, old school Florida golf course. Narrow fairways, small greens, lots of water and sand. David in the pro shop was professional and helpful and Chelsea on the beverage cart was super sweet and friendly. I would definitely play here again.
