The course was in good shape. It was a very nice course to play. The person in the pro shop was not very friendly when we walked in. The ladies in the grill were not friendly too. The pace of play was very poor. Had a group of four that never let us play through. So with that being said we did not get to finish our eighteen holes. If we could of not had the experience of the pro shop the grille and people not letting you play through. The only goof thing I can say is the course was beautiful
Rough experience on a hot day
Don’t know where to start but I have to say that the ridge is definitely not on the same class as the cove when comparing the two courses run by The Four Seasons. The staff was unfriendly from the get go and at check in the young guy work in the Counter had no personality and was unwilling to give any type of instruction as to what T to start on or what carts to take. Assuming we started on 1 we were instantly met by an employee who told us that we need to be playing on hole number 10 we politely followed his instruction and headed out in a round but after a few holes it was clear that other foursomes ahead of us clearly did not get the same type of instruction as we were getting bunched up quickly. The greens were so so burnt up in many spots and players did not repaired ball marks and spike marks everywhere was very difficult to put it made for a frustrating round on the greens and fairways were not in great shape either
many shots you were penalized due to the course conditions being a 90° plus day cart amenities were nowhere to be found and no water throughout the course due to Covid. Again these are all things that you could inform your paying customers about before rounds begin. The were more concerned with their league than anything else than was obvious from the beginning. extremely frustrating afternoon with so many great options at the lake of the Ozarks it’s a shame that this course was in the condition it was in I can’t see myself paying $40-$80 to play around here when there are many other options they provide greater value greater service and the overall better experience. I have played this course three times now in hopes it would be different. Unfortunately it hasn’t. I hope it does because it could be a nice course with a little TLC
Great Course
This course is a hidden gem in the Ozarks, often overlooked. After playing the Ridge, I probably won't be back to the Cove which I've played 3 times. The Ridge is FAR better for way less. I was pleasantly surprised with how perfect each tee box, fairway, and green were, especially after last year with the green situation. I will be back a bunch.
Great course
We had an excellent time golfing here. The par 3s were beautiful
Enjoyable Course I'd Like to Play Again
We had the chance to play The Cove at the end of a holiday week and had a great experience. Got to the signature fourth hole and took our time as there was no one behind us. To start, three in our group (one passed on the chance) went back to the tips to hit just to see what it was like from the back.
The blue tees were set at 223 yards when we played. For us hackers, that is a big challenge as it is ALL carry over the beautiful corner of the Lake. Hitting driver, I did manage to find the grass between the front bunkers. Then, we all went to our regular white tees and played on. I hit my “real” tee shot (5-wood) to nearly the same place but just a bit closer, chipped on and holed my best putt of the day from about 12 feet. From the white tees, another in our group hit driver hole high to eight feet. All in all, a cool hole!
We settled in and continued the rest of the day and had an enjoyable day. A couple of the fairways run very near close to each other and kind of made things hazardous. On three, one of our group nearly hit someone teeing off on five. Then, when we were teeing off on five, a group sprayed a shot right near us. Signs are there telling you to watch out but our group had two close calls!
The course was in very good shape and the greens were excellent. The GPS on the carts are nice, too. The par 3s are all very interesting and enjoyable. Would love to get back there and play it again, as well as the other track at the Four Seasons, The Ridge. I’d say the price is a little high but expected on a holiday weekend. A lot of good courses are in the area but I’d give The Cove high marks.
Very dissatisfied
I have played here and not happy with the decline of the place. The staff was nice and helpful, but the course was showing alot of problems. We traveled with a group of guys and played other places in area and the courses were well taken care of. The Cove fairways were very long and looked like the the weeds need sprayed. One bridge that we were driving over had holes in the boards and I can't believe our cart did not fall thru.
It poured on us and decided it was to wet to play and it was still raining when we gave up. The would only give us credit and credit was based on holes we played. We were halfway thru 9 and did not even get a full credit.
Would try to stay away and play somewhere else.
Pace of play
I left after the front nine, pace of play was horrible. Took 2 1/2 hours to play the front nine.
Alway a good adventure
Love the layout not easy lots of elevation changes and tricky putts
Avoid this course
Course conditions were very bad. Greens were the worst I have played this year with many bare spots. There was no one on the course, so therefore the pace was excellent. It was the only thing I could recommend about the place. I will not play this course again.
Sorry
This probably was the worst golfing experience I have endured. Had I known the condition of the greenIs I would have not bothered to play. The staff did not honor our Golf Now tee time because we arrived 2 hours earlier than our booked time, even though there was nobody, I mean nobody on the course. Total failure and definitely avoid!
Course was fun. We played bad but we loved the layout and crazy elevations!
Great value
The course was in great shape despite a few rough spots on the greens. The staff was fantastic. I would definitely recommend this course to anyone.
Freedom
The weather is hot and humid but don't let that stop you from golfing. Greens roll awesome, no waiting since everyone chickens out when it gets hot. Only took 3 hours to finish . Definitely going back again.
Thank you for the excellent 5-star review! We're always happy to hear when our guests have a great time, and look forward to your next visit.
Course in Great shape! I’m from out of town and had a blast in this course layout
The Cove
Excellent layout and course conditions. True and fast greens. Liberal width of fairways but traps can be very demanding!
Great course.
Thank you for the great review of The Cove! We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed the layout and the greens. We look forward to your next visit!
Summer months can definitely scare away a few golfers with heat and humidity. We're so happy to hear you enjoyed the course and pace of play. We hope to see you again before summer's end!
