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.

Has gone down since I played about 5 years ago. Lots of weeds and clover in fairways, around tees, and around greens. Greens were in good shape. Confusing starts on Bay and Marsh courses. Not sure why foursome was started in front of us (twosome) on back nine… waited on every hole.

Construction Changes Course(Not for the better)

The driving range has been given over to condo construction. Same is true for #1 and 2 holes. Sad.

New holes not yet groomed @ tee boxes etc. What was a nice place to practice and play has changed, and not for the better.

Terrible

This course was not what I expected there was nothing about it that I enjoyed as it related to the course itself except that my wife and I pretty much had the course to ourselves and since she just started playing she could at least hit the ball and practice. But I would never recommend this course to a group of guys to play.

very disappointed in this golf course, most of the tee boxes grass had grown over the tee markers, this golf course is getting ready to close and it should. this is not a golf course to play at any price, the worst by far since we have been in Florida, no maintenance at all

Sad Day at Bluewater

I would recommend golfers avoid t his course. The staff is really friendly and helpful, but that's the only good thing I can say. The course is in very bad shape and the course routing may be the worst I've ever seen. Overpriced for the product.

Close to Destin, great value and conditions.

Was able to play as a single and had no wait to play. Best value near Destin and Miramar beach area.
