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.

Blue water Bay

The staff and price of this course was very very good. The course layout as well as the condition of the tee box’s and the fairways did however turn me away from this course. For an average golfer the fairways tend to be a little tight because of all of the surrounding houses which I wasn’t a fan of.

Construction

There's aot of construction (or destruction as the staff called it) going on. The driving range was demolished to make way for more housing. The course it's self is in good shape and the staff is really nice. The normal price is a little high considering there's not much in the way of practice area but I'll go again when GN has a discount.
