Great Course

The course is win outstanding condition, has a very interesting design, wide fairways, true greens of moderate speed. Bunkers have plenty of sand but also small pebbles. Very playable, not overly hard.

Osprey Cove is great right now

I had the pleasure of playing this week leading up to their member/guest. The staff was very accommodating, and the course is in as good of shape as you could expect for early April. Tee to green the course is in great shape.

Used to be a gem

What was once a great course has degraded to a low grade public course in a very short time. The bunkers are all mud, not sand. It seems that they have suffered a complete irrigation failure as the grass is brown and dying. Many greens are covered in poa annua with no evidence or any remediation being taken. A couple of the greens also appear to be having sections dying off due to being scalped to tight. There are multiple areas of the course that can best be described as ground under disrepair. The layout is great and the views are great but the playability is very poor at best.

Tricky undulating fast greens

Nice layout

Wouldn’t recommend walking this course due to very long distances between holes.

Greens very hard and won’t hold an approach shot unless you’re a low handicap

Lots of bunkers on fairways as well as around the greens. Many of them very deep

Not a single ballwasher on the course or on any cart

Didn’t see one trash bin on the course.

This should be addressed.
