Outstanding, but hard to buy a Beer

Outstanding course, pace of play could’ve been better. Easier access to beverages at the turn would be helpful. Too much distance between #9 and the bar

That view though!

The course brought back memories of my low country home with all of the amazing marsh views. Also one of the best if not the best laid out courses for my eye that I have ever played. And range balls were free. Staff was very friendly.

Unfortunately the condition was average at best. Greens were Hard, inconsistent and unresponsive. Putts were impossible to read and a well stuck wedge would roll for days.

If it hadn’t been for the condition of the greens and some of the tee boxes I would have given this course 5 stars. Told my wife I thought this course could be special if it had just an average superintendent taking care of it.

No cart girl!!!

nice day of golf

The round was excellent until we caught up with a slow moving 3 some. The course got backed up by the time we hit the 4th hole and there was no staff to keep the pace moving forward. Additionally there was no cart service the entire day we were there. We were offered the chance to replay the front 9 again to avoid having to wait on the slower group ahead of us. We chose to stop for a 9-10 hole break at the turn and some of the others choose to go back to the first tee and finish their round. We came to play the entire course so we continued to play the back 9. Because the others made a different choice it actually made the speed of play normal for us completing the round. The fairways were in excellent shape, but greens looked great but were extremely fast. I usually love to play fast greens but these were like rocket fast. To put in prospective on how firm they were you could hit a 56 degree wedge shot straight in the air toward the green and leave no depression so you better play the ball to roll an additional amount depending on shot and club selection. The wonderful staff did inform us that the greens had been replaced and were very fast prior to the round but I didn't expect this kind of speed. I wish I had internet connection that was that fast. Otherwise I loved this course and I will most certainly play again. This place has some wide fairways and is very inviting to play. Scenery is nice but the no see um's that the driving range are not so nice. I hope my review does not sound negative because had it not been for the slow group ahead of us, the day would have been as close to perfect as I could ask for at 70-74 degrees sunny and slight wind.

Wide open challenge

No tree trouble to be found here, but there's plenty of length to make for a nice challenge. Staff cautioned that new greens are still very hard, and they're right, they won't really hold a pitch.but they putt beautifully! Also enjoyed watch ospreys land in their nest.

No see ums

Nice course, very nice facility, range balls included in your green fee and the staff was extremely nice.

Only issue was it would have been nice if they had warned about No see ums, for people not from this area

we had no idea they would be bad this time of year or ever for that matter, got bitten up pretty bad and no see um

bits are a real pain to deal with and can last up to 2 weeks.

Course in good shape for early February

Second time I've played the course. Greens are a bit of a challenge. They all have undulations. I like the combo options on the scorecard. My 73 yr old body played the Gray/Green combo at 5583+ yards. There are 6 options ranging from 5386 to the tips at 6778.

I'd recommend this course.

The Walrus

They have new greens which roll true but they are hard(not firm). Could not get ball to stick to Green. Cost paid to play this course was really good.

For winter conditions it's well maintained

I love playing this course and conditions were quite good for winter conditions. The 18th hole has been a bugger for me. It is long over the marsh and I can't quite make it over in three tries. Maybe it' because I'm 77 years old and starting to lose a little now.

I live in Jacksonville, Florida and it makes for a nice day trip. Play this course and have a good.

BEAUTIFUL GOLF COURSE WITH MANY VIEWS OF SALT MARSHES

Osprey Cove golf course is semi private located within a gated development. The development, the course itself and the club house are very well maintained. All staff we met very very friendly, with the bar which we used after a very enjoyable round was very sociable.

The main attraction of the course was its layout with many of the holes being very scenic having views over marshland to the St Marys river. The houses in the development did NOT detract from the 'rural' nature of the course

New Favorite

I was told about this golf course by a friend of mine. When it was available on GolfNow I jumped at the opportunity to play. The course did not disappoint! The layout is challenging, the conditions terrific, and the amenities around the corners are wonderful. From start to finish this is a great golfing experience and I cannot wait to get back there and play again. Osprey Cove is one of my new favorite golf courses!

Don't Play Here When it's a Windy Day

Even though the temps reached 50+ degrees, it felt much colder due to the extreme winds off the marshes. Also, I believe because they intended this course for homeowners, there are few signs to the next tee and no map of the hole/hazards on the card or on the tee box signs. I guess they just expect you to know. Makes for a tough course for a some time guest. Finally, don't play on Ladies' Day Tuesday unless you have PLENTY of time!
