Great golf value

Challenging course with narrow driving areas that requires accuracy. Greens have been punched but I was warned and they putted better than expected. Great value for the money and the pace was fantastic.

Enjoyable course.

The staff is friendly, pleasant and accommodating. The course is in fairly good shape and enjoyable to play. A couple on the bay holes are very scenic. It is a great value and worth the visit!

This course was in awful shape. The greens were half dirt, fairways were dead, and the tee boxes were not well kept.. It looked like the course was about to close.

Disappointed ☹️

Course was wet from heavy rains the day before. A reality in Florida. Cart paths only, no problem , but greens were terrible, filled in several places on multiple holes with divot sand. No cart services, no mention of that at registration. Saw a marshal twice. Friendly but uncomfortable about the course.

I think this course has great structure and beauty BUT has not been maintained. Only one nine opened of three, and then found the third nine has been closed by developer for more housing.

Very disappointing for our group.

Course layout requires cart almost mile between 9 and 10 holes due to closure of Lakes Course today. Played Marsh and Bay both good condition for season. Much improved from last year especially greens. Only snafu ordered hot dogs in restaurant at the turn took 20 minutes to get order. One group played through while twosome of our group that did not order hot dogs waited. They were great hot dogs but wait much too long at turn.

Feb Blues

We selected a cool but sunny day to play Bluewater. Had a great time. A bit of frost was on the course at 8am so we were an hour late playing but had a great time. Fritz was extremely friendly.

Nice course

The course was in pretty fair shape for the time of year. It was significantly better than the last time I played. It was cart path only; although, I don't think that was necessary. I do understand that some people don't pay attention to low spots, but to cross 90 degrees and return would have made it less time consuming.

Course was in overall fair condition, tee boxes needed work. Also difficult to find your way around, not enough signage on the Marsh nine to get you around or back to the clubhouse.
