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.

I like the layout of this course challenging most of the time sometimes forgiving course is in decent shape considering the in and out of weather that we've had lack of rain doesn't help. Lots of fun and a great clubhouse to end your day have a wonderful time

Nice greens

The course is tight due to the limited acreage available but I thought it was a nice little course. I was told by the starter that they had lost around 95 trees after hurricane Milton 4 weeks ago but not having played the course before, I had nothing to compare it to. I thought they did a good job for having things in good shape so soon after such a destructive storm. The greens putted true and fast and were in good condition. If you’re spraying shots off the tee, you’ll probably want to leave the driver in the bag on this course but it’s an enjoyable course. Overall, friendly staff, nice, short course with nice views of the bay.

Feedback

We have played this course in the past and had a good experience but this time around they they had pot patch marks on the greens and did not advertise that when we showed up. We would have wanted to know that first before we teed off. And also on the back nine on the turn people were going off on the back nine that were not part of the front nine that cannot happen at a golf course. The the superintendent needs to know this and make sure it does not happen again in the future. I am moving to Florida soon and I will give his course one more chance but you're only getting one more.

Amazing Recovery

Course was in great condition. Fast and true greens. Front nine was more difficult than the back nine.

Very Slow Play

Had about noon tee time today with threesome. Tee off’d 10 mins late. We waited on just about every shot. Just ridiculous how slow play was. This course needs a course ranger badly. Greens were fast and very heavy used with several small gouges and cups hadn’t been changed- very hairy. Fairways good. Tee boxes only average and torn up with divots . Took 3 hours to complete front nine and so sign of getting any better. We decided to quit and the clubhouse staff apologized and gave us 9 hole rain check to use in the future. We thanked him and told him mgt needs to hire a ranger to keep play in good pace. This course is noted for slow play. Other then that, we may return, but early am from now on.

For first time players, they had no course map or hole layout available, so it was sometimes difficult to know which way the doglegs turned, or what might be around the corner. A few times we made the wrong turn on the cart path from one green to the next tee box

second time playing this course, and it is in great shape. Greens are in great shape rolling true. some tight spots, and shots in the blind, from the fairway. most tee boxes in good condition. Clubhouse dinning has beautiful views of the course and I believe it is the Bay. Service was very good. Will play again.
