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.
Excellent staff
The course was much better than last year, but their was a lack of grass on the fairways and we got rained on,drenched. The staff was excellent and still had a good time.
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.
Lost
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.
Not a pleasant experience
Only 2 of the three courses are functional, lake course is not being used. Overbooked, 3 and 4 groups stacked up at tee boxes,no clear signage on getting from one course, front nine to next course which is back nine. Dangerous getting btwn courses on highway.
Poorly marked
We took 5 hours to play 18 holes,
We became lost between the Bay front nine and the Marsh back nine. Had to ask people on the street for help.
They need to do a better job with signage.
Niceville Golf
Played the course for first time today. Great value, condition were good, bunker sand was excellent!
Signature holes had stunning views of the bay.
blue skys
Very few on course but weather was good. Course was in fair condition for the winter months. Greens and Tees are looking better than last year at this time. Price was good and my wife and I enjoyed the day .
Sad day
Remember playing here a long time ago and it was the premier golf course in the area. They have changed from 36 holes to 18 and they need to call it a day. Unfortunately the place has turned into a disaster and no deal is worth playing here.
Bluewater Bay
Course was a lot of fun. Conditions were great, warm and slight breeze, but cloudy. Course conditions could have been a little better, but at this time of year yellowish grass is to be expected.. Really want to play it again.
Nice Day to Golf
First time golfing this year. Had more than a little rust to wear off. We are from the midwest and have been coming down to the panhandle area the past four years. We have golfed this course five or six times. The Lakes portion of the course in no longer open. We played the Bay and Marsh sections. We love their lay out. The course was in average condition. We finished our round in 3.5 hours. Staff were very friendly. Will play this course again.
