Great Course

If you can get out there you won't be disappointed. Greens roll true, fairways are actually green and have grass unlike other courses in the area.

Awesome Course in excellent shape!

Always love playing Osprey Cove. It's in excellent shape right now. Greens aren't in credibly fast, but are run moderate speed and are in great shape and roll true. Fariways were close to perfect. A few tees were a little sandy, but it's been incredibly hot in Florida. Take your NoGnats spray, you'll need it on the holes near the marsh. The day I played it was a bit breezy so that helped keep them away. I recommend having a fan on your cart if you can bring one. Overall the course is a great one to play. Hope they have it fixed by now, but the security gate treated the neighborhood like Fort Knox. Even showing them my Golfnow tee time email didn't get me in. I had to call the pro shop and they had to send me an entrance QR code for them to let me in. First time that has ever happened but hopefully they will get that worked out. Otherwise, come early or you could have 20-30 min wait at the gate. But overall I love this course and it's one of my favorites in the Jax area and is definitely worth the drive to St Marys, GA. Beautiful marsh views on several holes and a fun layout. (restaurant inside is currently closed down and not sure when it will open again - so bring snacks or hit up the cart girl as often as possible.) But you won't be disappointed playing Osprey Cove.

Almost no clubhouse.

Clubhouse is in practice out of business because the Fire Safety Inspector closed them down last October, '25. So, no kitchen, no food, no beverage, no clubhouse amenities.

The pro shop is open and the young man in charge gave me bottled water.

Now, the course itself is in very good shape, especially considering the current heat.

Fun track, worth the time/cost

Excellent practice area near the first tee. Putting green was reflective of the course greens. There are a couple water stations on the course. (Important because restaurant/bar is being remodeled and no Sunday beverage cart). Friendly Professional staff. Course in solid shape. Looking forward to playing again. Awesome finishing hold!

Very poor course for the price

Expect a 6 hour round, greens littered with divots, and a very simple course layout

Should be a $30 course charging country club pricing

Great Experience

Really enjoyed this course

Very friendly helpful staff

Nice facilities

Very nice course layout, with generous fairways, which made it very playable.

Course on great conditions, tees fairways and greens. Not sure why a previous reviewer that the greens were super challenging- they aren’t.

Much better course, than courses back home for this price point in England.

Fully deserves the 5 star rating - thank you Osprey Cove

Good course-Recently aerated greens

Fun course and great layout. Challenging holes, but wide fairways, make this course a lot of fun to play. Staff and starter very friendly, offering water bottles before teeing off. Ice machines and water also available in various places on the courses where the bathrooms are located. Due to the heat, a staffer drove by and offered some additional ice water during the round. Played in afternoon, so no issues with pace of play. Greens had been recently aerated which did affect putting, Would definitely recommend.

Tee boxes and fairways were in great shape. Some of the greens were a little bit rough making us think that maybe they had been recently aerated.
