Perfect first nine. Wet back nine.

Course under some construction but all holes open. Detours around construction led to a lot of golf cart driving would be impossible to work this course now. Friendly staff, starter reviewed detours which were well marked. Brown fairways typical for season. Greens choppy but ok for season, Tee boxes fine for season, First nine weather perfect back nine drizzlw off and on and no sun. Overall fun round. Offered twosome to play with us on back nine and were friendly visitors from Wisconsin so went well.

Snowbird 18

Nice course. Some beautiful holes on the water. Greens and tee boxes in very good shape for this time of year. Fairways in decent shape but I am sure they are better later in the year. Only disappointment was at the 19th hole where we went for a beverage after golf, about 3:30, and nobody was working, closed up.

Should of called

Should’ve made a call before we played the course. This course runs through a residential area, at one time it was four nines, but now it’s only two nines due to the housing that is moving in. There is no restaurant at our clubhouse at all so there was nothing to eat or drink except water. You have to drive forever to get to the course and holes. But however I did kinda like the lay out in the course itself. It’s narrow and water and sand made for a good day of play. The staff was very nice and of course they were apologetic about the restaurant being shut down and the course situation. It’s not their fault they’re just staff. They say that there’s new owners of the golf course and they’re not sure even if the restaurant will be reopened yet but hopefully they will be able to have some future good news. I just need to remember to call ahead before I go to a golf course since I’m playing different courses around the area.

Construction

Due to some construction on hole number 1 other holes were changed with good signage, if followed, but if one has a GPS it's not in tune with the way the holes are arranged. It still was a good venue for me to practice and get the feel of Florida golfing again.

Bluewater

The staff was very helpful and friendly. Jack the Marshal was exceptionally helpful with very specific directions to the 1st, 8th & 9th not to leave out the Marsh course since the whole course intertwined in and around the homes. I thought the course played tough given the water and tall pines bordering the fairways. The greens were in great shape. Bring your top course management thoughts to score well! It’s a bargain for the price!

Good practice course

Course needs maintenance but I knew what I was getting into before I scheduled. Good practice course and a good value for the money.

Transitioning

They course layout was fine. Some very interesting holes, I think they are fun. Unfortunately the GPS didn’t know what hole it was on so yardage and hazards where unknown. Selecting the right clubs was impossible.

The grounds needed attention. Mowing, cleaning etc. No driving range, being developed into housing.
