cold day on the course

Course was in good shape for February. Greens rolled well, fairways a litlle thin, tee boxes ok. Bunkers were not consistent. Too much sand in some and then some had not much sand. Cold and windy day for sure.

Regatta Bay is in great condition

With the rain we have had this course is in excellent condition. Driving range and practice facilities are some of the best around for a public course. Great sand to hit out of and all around good value

Jim's Feb 2026 Review

The staff was so nice. Very helpful. The course was in great shape. Greens are elevated in most cases. Greens have great turf and putt true however there are many slopes to navigate. Bring lots of balls. Water everywhere.

Windy but what did you expect on winter

Good day with 20-40 mph out of Southwest made a challenging course even more so.

Greens are really good considering it is winter.

For winter the course was great in great shape, especially the greens. Cart path only resulted in a nice walk. No crowds so the pace was notably fast.

I love the layout, but the greens were not good!

I really like this golf course and have played here many times over the years and will continue to come back. Their range is decent, they have a good amount of space but there aren’t enough targets. The short game area and putting green are excellent.

This is one of my favorite layouts in the area I always enjoy playing here. This time however, I was very disappointed with the greens. I’m hoping it’s because they have over-seeded with rye or something because the greens were very hairy and bumpy. Putts bounced all over the place, you couldn’t keep anything on line. The cups also look like they hadn’t been changed in a few days.
