Bluewater Bay Resort - Lake Course

I've played here many times. I actually live in the Bluewater Bay and considered becoming a member many times. I mean why not support my local golf course, right? Every time I play here, I'm reminded why i shouldn't become a member. I mean the rates are okay, sometimes. The course is what it is. Not the best, but it's okay most of the time. The management has switched multiple times and honestly i see no difference. The people who work the front desk should honestly be fired first. Its the same people over and over no matter how many times management changes. Don't get me wrong, some are nice, but others act very unwelcoming. I have walked in trying to get a tee time and get the cold shoulder at times like its not policy to take walk-ins. I'll remind you i live on the course and see nothing but tumbleweeds sometimes. Once i showed up with no one on the first 3 or 4 holes. I tried to walk on and was told i had to wait until a group of 16 to tee off. I asked when they will tee off and was told all of their party isn't here yet. I asked why can't i go ahead yet and they were still practicing on the green at the time. I was told they, 16 golfers, are fast and I'd enjoy it more if I went after them. So instead of waiting an hour, i went to Eglin and had a great time. Walked right in too, lol. The course is very mediocre and could be more, but unfortunately after living here for 7 years, it won't. It will likely close down unless something changes. It's okay to play once, but not the best to return.

Great track. Staff was very friendly. Pace of play was great. Will definitely play again when I come back to the area.

The course was a great experience overall, the only downside is a couple of the greens were in bad condition. The staff was very friendly, the price was great, and the layout was awesome! I’ll definitely be coming back.

This could be a really nice track, it just needs additional investment. Weed management detracts from what could be a very appealling venue. Greens were not all good with some having quite a bit of rough/bare sections, and the Ft. Walton public course had better.

What a dump this has become. Wayyyyy over priced. No Range. Fairways look like a pasture. Greens haven’t been mowed, maybe ever. Need a driver to hit a ten foot putt. Check in and ask for couple bottled waters and Gatorades for the round and, of course, the snack bar is closed…. at 9am. Drink cart finally shows up at 9th hole. This course is for you if you enjoy terrible service and hitting off crowned, sandy tee boxes.

The course was in pretty good condition, especially with all the rain. There were double dog legs on some holes, which made it challenging to attack.

I had an nice time playing the course with my friends. The course was maintained well enough. A couple of greens were rather brown and needed watering with it being so hot. I would play this course again

Came to play here on vacation and was very disappointed. The picture online are completely wrong the course only has 2 holes with a cool bay view. Every fairway, tee box and green had dead spots. Every single sand trap was full of weeds. All of the cart paths are tight and in disrepair. Many of the tee boxes were being repaired so the blocks would just be bunched up in random flat areas around the tee boxes

Staff very friendly and accommodating. Greens good condition. Rest of course not what we envisioned. Fairways had many bare spots. Most of bunkers were horrid and unkempt. Tee boxes not mowed and unkempt. Would not recommend in current condition to any of my friends.

Was in town on vacation and wanted to play somewhere that had nice views but wouldn’t be super packed like most places on the coastline. This course was in great shape in general irregardless of its good price and it had several holes with great views along the way!
