The Walrus

They have new greens which roll true but they are hard(not firm). Could not get ball to stick to Green. Cost paid to play this course was really good.

For winter conditions it's well maintained

I love playing this course and conditions were quite good for winter conditions. The 18th hole has been a bugger for me. It is long over the marsh and I can't quite make it over in three tries. Maybe it' because I'm 77 years old and starting to lose a little now.

I live in Jacksonville, Florida and it makes for a nice day trip. Play this course and have a good.

BEAUTIFUL GOLF COURSE WITH MANY VIEWS OF SALT MARSHES

Osprey Cove golf course is semi private located within a gated development. The development, the course itself and the club house are very well maintained. All staff we met very very friendly, with the bar which we used after a very enjoyable round was very sociable.

The main attraction of the course was its layout with many of the holes being very scenic having views over marshland to the St Marys river. The houses in the development did NOT detract from the 'rural' nature of the course

New Favorite

I was told about this golf course by a friend of mine. When it was available on GolfNow I jumped at the opportunity to play. The course did not disappoint! The layout is challenging, the conditions terrific, and the amenities around the corners are wonderful. From start to finish this is a great golfing experience and I cannot wait to get back there and play again. Osprey Cove is one of my new favorite golf courses!

Don't Play Here When it's a Windy Day

Even though the temps reached 50+ degrees, it felt much colder due to the extreme winds off the marshes. Also, I believe because they intended this course for homeowners, there are few signs to the next tee and no map of the hole/hazards on the card or on the tee box signs. I guess they just expect you to know. Makes for a tough course for a some time guest. Finally, don't play on Ladies' Day Tuesday unless you have PLENTY of time!

Greens hard as a rock

Poor design. Most of the greens have a bunker right front. With the hardness of the greens it is about impossible to hold the greens as every shot is into a green that runs away from you.

Great Golf on a great course

I have wanted to play Osprey Cove for several years and this was my first chance to do so. My regular foursome met together to play and we had a wonderful time. The course was challenging but not punishingly so. Even though I played worse than usual, I enjoyed the round thoroughly knowing that any trouble I got into was my own fault. My group enjoyed the design of the course immensely. The views across the marsh on 8, 9, and 18 are fantastic and the course seems set amid the natural beauty without diminishing it. Pace of play was smooth and the staff was friendly. The only down side of the day was that the greens were very firm and approach shots tended to skip off of them, but the staff warned us about this before our round. I would expect the greens to soften back up in the Spring. I would recommend Osprey Cove highly to anyone in the area.

Some improvements, other things not as good.

We hadn't played the course in a year and a half. Greens had all been replaced and while very hard (only 3 months old) they were in great shape and rolled true. The bunkers were not in the best shape, wet and hard. The course signage was poor and the golf shop staff was very uninformative, glad we had been there before and knew our way around. No cart staff, no starter and driving range was very beat up.

Always amazing

If you are near it’s a must. You won’t be disappointed. From the moment you pull into the gate you will always have a wonderful day. If you miss this great course you’ll be sorry. Slammer and squire has nothing on osprey cove. The new greens, the amazing people the great times. All you have to do is go to believe

Nice course

New greens putting well but hard and fast. Difficult to stop iron shots on greens but should soften in time. Everything else in great shape. Enjoyed the round.

So worth it!!!

Booked even knowing they had renovated their greens and had temporary greens on all 18 holes. Club pro called me Sunday am to make sure I knew this information. That alone says how professional the club is. One of my favorite golf courses I have played on the Georgia coast.
