Greens haven’t been cut

Must be the time of year.

However, I would play it again for 35 bucks.

The tolls to the course and back are what spoils things!!

Was told at the start it would be slow. It was.

The first mine we waited!! The second mine we were blessed by foursomes letting us play thru!

Overall, course was pretty decent!

So much potential here.

Greens very slow but they looked like they had been top dressed, so maybe a green cut is scheduled soon. Bunkers were okay and fairways need some work for sure.

I understand there is new management here, so I hope they will invest both time and money on the course.

I will be back soon to see what’s happening. The layout is quite good.

Terrible

You had to wait over an hour because they can’t afford enough golf carts. The starter said go play a $100 dollar course if you don’t like waiting. I got a refund and went to a different course.

GN should not be associated with Blue Water Bay.

Very unprofessional

20 plus players waiting for carts no communication as to when any would be available. Left folks standing and waiting for an hour past their tee times and no chance to complete 18 before dark. Management had no idea what was going on with carts not coming in and made no attempt to find out. Most unbelievable level of incompetence I experienced. Asked for and received a refund. Might be a great course but unfortunately I will never know because I won’t be back.

Bluewater Golf

Grass is sparse, greens in poor condition. Not a native of Florida so don’t know if it’s the cold weather. Great layout.
