Good value

Course was obviously immaculate in it’s day. But seems neglected now. It needs some TLC but is priced right in the interim. A few greens were very nice and others were not so healthy. Hardly anyone out there so pace was good.

Clubhouse has no amenities. Staff was friendly.

Narrow fairways. Holes are all renumbered due to renovation. So your gps watch is worthless. No reflectors on flags so laser finders won’t work either. Most holes have a plaque at 100 and 150. Only a few sprinklers are marked. So all yardage is guess work.

Good value for the money

Good Value

Course was in good shape….only a couple greens and fairways were not the best. Little odd layout, because the development is under construction to add housing. The work does not impact the quality of the holes, its just the sequence of holes played. Your GPS will not work and there is no driving range.

What’s going on

The club house was empty, wasn’t sure if they were out of business or what? Inside staff personnel were very nice and helped us understand the course layout. NO starter.

Friendly staff at Bluewater

We acknowledged that it was our first time at the course and the staff took extra time to make sure that we knew how to get to hole 1 which is sone distance from the clubhouse. Then he brought the cat to our vehicle for us. The course was in good shape for end of winter and we enjoyed the layout. We'll be back next February.

Excellent Value. Great course.

Loved this course. Excellent value and speedy play. Fairways are very good shape and recovering from winter conditions.. Greens are excellent and put well. Don't understand why it doesn't get much more play

February snowbird golf trip

Course has been modified due to construction related activities but was well marked and in good shape. Staff is always nice and friendly. Very good value in comparison to all the area courses. Fairways didn’t have nearly as many tight lies as several other courses.

A course in transition

This course was probably very nice at one time. However it apparently has been sold and the new ownership has not taken over and the old one isn’t investing in it.

Nice layout

Fastest greens and groomed bunkers. Nice holes but they merged some holes from the closed 18 so you have some long green to tee drives. The best value I have played played in Destin. There are a number of risk reward tee shots that make you think. Really enjoyed the course
