Bluewater Bay Resort - Magnolia Course

Should’ve made a call before we played the course. This course runs through a residential area, at one time it was four nines, but now it’s only two nines due to the housing that is moving in. There is no restaurant at our clubhouse at all so there was nothing to eat or drink except water. You have to drive forever to get to the course and holes. But however I did kinda like the lay out in the course itself. It’s narrow and water and sand made for a good day of play. The staff was very nice and of course they were apologetic about the restaurant being shut down and the course situation. It’s not their fault they’re just staff. They say that there’s new owners of the golf course and they’re not sure even if the restaurant will be reopened yet but hopefully they will be able to have some future good news. I just need to remember to call ahead before I go to a golf course since I’m playing different courses around the area.

I already reviewed this course and I stand behind that assessment.

Due to some construction on hole number 1 other holes were changed with good signage, if followed, but if one has a GPS it's not in tune with the way the holes are arranged. It still was a good venue for me to practice and get the feel of Florida golfing again.

The staff was very helpful and friendly. Jack the Marshal was exceptionally helpful with very specific directions to the 1st, 8th & 9th not to leave out the Marsh course since the whole course intertwined in and around the homes. I thought the course played tough given the water and tall pines bordering the fairways. The greens were in great shape. Bring your top course management thoughts to score well! It’s a bargain for the price!

Course needs maintenance but I knew what I was getting into before I scheduled. Good practice course and a good value for the money.

Checking with the course first before booking can save you some money

They course layout was fine. Some very interesting holes, I think they are fun. Unfortunately the GPS didn’t know what hole it was on so yardage and hazards where unknown. Selecting the right clubs was impossible.

The grounds needed attention. Mowing, cleaning etc. No driving range, being developed into housing.

The staff and price of this course was very very good. The course layout as well as the condition of the tee box’s and the fairways did however turn me away from this course. For an average golfer the fairways tend to be a little tight because of all of the surrounding houses which I wasn’t a fan of.
