Cheap Tee Time for a Reason

The $48 rate is because you’re directly after the women’s group. Everything else was great but the rate was “good good to be true.”

What All Development Course Should Be

Without question Osprey Cove is the best course in the North Jacksonville area. It is as good if not better than the high priced courses on Amelia Island and parts of coastal Georgia. Tough to choose between Osprey Cove and the Lakes Course at the Walker State Park in Waycross GA., but the edge goes to Osprey Cove due to proximity, at 1/3 the driving time.

Love this golf course

I love this golf course. I live 50 miles away and tee times are only available in the afternoon but I still try to come play it at least once a month. Fortunately in the afternoon there aren't a lot of golfers playing. The members usually play in the morning. The course is always well maintained. The practice areas are excellent as well. So please don't come....I want this gem to myself..

Golf round 10/24/2024

Although the greens were punched earlier in the week it did not affect putting. fairways in great shape. Cart paths could use a little attention as spots were very bumpy. Overall had a great time and met some local residents that played with us for several holes.

Good course, needs updating though.

Great course! Need to update carts, need a beer cart, 13$ for a hotdog and fries, needs to fix the cart path and the tee marker need to be changed to something less confusing. We had a great time though. Greens were excellent staff was friendly and helpful. Starter Bill very helpful. We will definitely play again.

Terrible conditions

The course is a great design but is close to unplayable. There isn’t a bunker on the course that is playable, there’s no sand and the faces are all about to collapse. No other course in the area is in such terrible condition and they are all a better value. Don’t waste your time or money here.
