Great layout / but greens recovering from being punched.

Greens were ten days recovering from being punched. Weren’t bad compared to other courses but definitely wasn’t pleased that teeoff.com didn’t have an aerification notification on the green fee. Other courses in the area had the notification turned on. But even with the recovery, the greens were decent just a little slow. The course has very picturesque holes along the marshland. Generous fairways. In great shape. The 9th and 18th green is combined into a huge green. Pretty cool! A def hidden gem in the NE Florida SE Georgia area! When the greens 100% heal they will be incredible.

Course was in good condition but the layout wasn’t anything special and the course was just another subdivision layout. The marshland never comes into play and is only there for a few holes. Much better off playing north Hampton or laurel island which are both cheaper and better conditioned

Hidden Gem in South GA

If you get the opportunity to play Osprey Cove, you will not be disappointed. This Mark McCumber design has something for every level of golfer. The higher handicaps will enjoy the wide fairway landing areas on numerous holes and the lower cappers will have a challenge judging the wind and fast greens. A Great Gem in South GA!!!

What a hidden gem!

Oh man this may be the best hidden gem in the south GA and north FL/Jacksonville area! Such a fun layout. Nice wide fairways, greens in excellent shape, and the marsh views on several holes are amazing! This may be my new favorite course to play. Well worth the drive from Jax. Only about 30-45 minutes. I’ll definitely be back to play it agin. My son and I had an incredible tune. The staff was so friendly. It doesn’t have that “stuck up” feel that some courses have. Professional shape with a relaxed atmosphere. Sometimes you run into courses where the staff is super friendly and relaxed and the course is a little too “relaxed” in its condition, but not here. Great staff and yet so laid back. We played as a twosome at 12:30 on a Thursday afternoon. Hardly anyone on course. Never waited on a single hole. Cant wait to play it again!

Hidden Gem

Arrived at the course. Quick friendly check in at the pro shop. Was given a couple of tips for pin placement. Red , White and Blue. Front , middle and back. Course was in great shape !! Nice par 5’s and 4’s where you can work the ball fade or draw. Beautiful scenery and course. Greens were fast with undulation

Great afternoon at Osprey

3 of us teed off in the afternoon on a perfect Nov day for golf. Course was in great shape and the greens were almost perfect. From the arrival we had very helpful staff take care of us. The man and lady at the bag drop were so nice and the pro shop was very courteous in checking us in. The range balls were a nice bonus. We love this course and will return. Wish my regular traveling Saturday group would go here.
