Amazing service

Right from the start I was impressed with this place. As we walked to the clubhouse a staff member asked where we parked and actually delivered a cart to our vehicle as we were checking in!

The course is challenging, but fun. Greens will have you 3 putting if you don’t get it close.

My only concern is the cart paths, so if it’s cart path only be prepared for a rough ride.

Horrendous pace of play

The course was in great shape and has a fun layout. However, the pace of play was absolutely terrible. We played on a Tuesday and thought it was bad, but Thursday took 6 HOURS to play 18!! The course definitely needs a marshall.

Poorly managed. Many of the staff were just standing around talking instead of getting balls to the range and helping with drinks, etc.

Best Hot Deal at the Lake of the Ozarks

I’ve always wanted to play The Cove and it definitely didn’t disappoint. The service in the Clubhouse was fantastic and it was a really fun and challenging layout. I waited till the day of to book on Golf Now and we got $140 for a group of four. You’re not going to find a better deal at the lake period!

Day on the corse

Have played most of all the courses in the area and always enjoy playing. It is not an easy course and even if it does not look long, it have plenty of hard holes and difficult greens. If was in average condition has a nice staff. We did not see a beverage cart, but it might just have been that day!
