Good layout, not so great condition

I was able to play as soon as I arrived. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Course has a good layout, but was in need of routine maintenance - mowing tees, lack of water, some rough spots on greens. It was under new management by the golf community, so perhaps these issues will be addressed.

AWFUL CROOkS

Been playing here every time I come down and this will be the last time. Each year it has the course has went down and it was especially horrible this time. After booking there was no mention of playing the front 9 twice due to the rest of the course being down. No discounted price offered. The course was HORRIBLE a cow pasture would make a better course. The greens were brown and the tee boxes had NO grass. The worst part is I left my range finder there and when I called back the next morning they said they would look for it and didn’t my info so I had to call back and give them my info. This place has went down hill a lot and is in desperate need of staff who are actually clean and are repeatable. I hope this gets to whoever needs to see this and cleans house and gets the place looking better

In need of a cash infusion

Bluewater was in unplayable shape. 6 greens had grass on them, and the rest were awful. Nothing was mowed and the tee boxes are unrecognizable. We feel badly for the gentleman at the front desk who was very welcoming and apologetic for the greens. It is a waste of time and money to play this course at the present time. So sorry to see another potential good course go down the drain.

Disarray

I have played this course for many years. I was deeply disturbed by the condition of the course, especially the greens. I do understand that they are under new management but to let the course get to this point, its disappointing. That's the reason for the low rating. The cost to play this time is not justified based on the condition of the course. Hope they come back soon.

Under Renovation

Course is pretty much a disaster right now. Try back at the end of the season

It is what it is

This course is in reconditioning mode, as they are closing one course and consolidating to one set of 18 - they are even reworking the entire clubhouse. I still enjoy it, and the greens are in good shape. Later this year I think this course will be greatly improved.

Blue water bay

The course is old and in pretty rough condition. Super tight nice layout, but it's a work in progress. They are building a range, and working on the course. I expect everything will improve and will check them out later in the year.

Nice People, Poor Condition

Considering the number of courses in the area, you can definitely do better. Thankfully, it was less than $40 to play. Glad I didn’t pay more.
