It was okay and had good bones. But, and perhaps it was early season, it needs conditioning from tees to greens to paths. Just looked tired and old and a but unkempt I would play again to see how it is in season. A lot of the surrounding houses also looked dated and hurt the overall view of the course

Fun challenging course

We played in a foursome in the fall and moved along without having to wait. The course was in good shape considering we were in a near 2 month drought. The roving terrain presents a challenge on several shots. The greens were in good condition considering they had recently been plugged.

Course in great shape, nice and challenging

Staff in pro shop are not nice they are rude but club workers ,restaurant very pleasant and nice

Greeting attendant, cart attendants very cordial .

Pro shop not accommodating for golfers golfed the Ridge in July with 12 golfers and golfed the cove twice this week with 12 golfers in our group.

Everyone in our group would rather golf somewhere that appreciates our business

Good course experience

Greens had recently been aerated but greens were still pretty fast and receptive. It’s a fun and challenging track and you couldn’t beat it for the money. The fact that we got around in under 3 1/2 hours and it was 72 degrees and sunny made it even better. Staff has always been super friendly and accommodating.

I hate to give away the Lakes best kept secret but....

Absolutely, without a doubt, the best place to play at the Lake.....the course is always in great shape, the staff is amazing, and the price is right. I hate to give away my favortie place to go when I'm down there every year in October, but I can't help but to give The Cove a 5 star review.

Great Cove course experience

Third time playing the Cove. Course was in great shape. A good challenge but not over tough. If you can control your flight you have a chance to score well. Fast greens for our group but enjoyable.
