Beautiful Course

Course was in excellent shape. Somewhat challenging. Greens were fast and true. Had the misfortune of going out after a shotgun start tournament so pace was a little slow but not terrible. Private Course but allows GolfNow users, so it was really a great value.

How far to the hole????

Way too many 1- and 2-somes! The groups ahead that have 3 or 4 players obviously are aware of this and "WILL NOT" acknowledge you refuse to let you play through so ... Hotdogs were $6 plus (and was told plus a gratuity), come on!!!! The price of the golf was cheap, including the cart, but the pace of play and price for a dog make this a no go for me in the future. The restaurant is for people way better off financially then me. Lastly, how bad are the score cards and signs at the holes? Having never played this course it would be nice to see the hole layout and not the mention yardages. I had no idea of how far i was on the majority of the holes; geewiz how about a 150 yard marker somewhere in the fairway. So if you live there you probably like it the course, but i bet not love it. So i rate "ALL" the other courses around there better, period, no question!!!!!

I am sorry to hear that you did not enjoy your round with us. We try our best to pair up singles and twosomes, but ultimately it is up to the group if they would like to play together. We do have yard markers at 100, 150, and 200 yards in the fairway. We would love the opportunity to have you come back out and see if we can offer you a better experience, as we believe we offer the best value for golf in southeast Georgia. Please email rellis@ospreycove.com so we can have you back out some time soon!

WOW!

This was my first time playing here and it has jumped to my top 5 favorite courses to play! Loved everything about this course. Greens are small and do require accurate shot to get on. Was a windy day and the fairways still help a pushed or pulled shot from the tee box. Will certainly be coming back soon. You can only get on the course after noon, as the course is semi private, only open to the public after 12. Worth a hot afternoon to play here. Loved it!
