Cove Cay Golf Club
About
Cove Cay Golf Club is located along the shores of Tampa Bay, offering scenic views and abundant wildlife. Water is a prominent feature on the golf course, coming into play on 12 holes. The course is tight with narrow, tree-lined fairways and several tricky dogleg holes. In addition to all of the water hazards, there are also deep bunkers lining the greensides. At 6,000 yards, it is not a long course by any means but what it lacks in length it makes up for in shot-making challenges. Thanks to its length though, it can usually be played in under four hours. The layout features a diverse set of hazards that will require the use of every club in your bag. Cove Cay Golf Club's signature hole is the par-5 17th. This dramatic hole runs alongside the bay, making accuracy a necessity in order to reach the small peninsula green.

Cove Cay on Tampa Bay Photo submitted by webbknight on 09/21/2012
Hidden gem
Just off the interstate you’ll find this hidden course. Average course conditions with incredible views. Looking forward to coming back when we are in town. The cart paths are in poor condition but the views alone make up for it after a chiropractic visit. Both par-5s on the back 9 were unforgettable. Equallly challenging and beautiful.
Fun Afternoon at Cove Cay
The course is challenging. Lots of patience required. Just under 5 hours. 3 hours for the front is just too long!!
The course overall is very playable, the greens are in good shape. Played with a very nice couple from the area. Thank you for the fun afternoon!! My wife and I will be back!!
T Box
Layout and scenery is fantastic! T Boxes could use a little work but really enjoyed the round.
Coy cove
The greens were in very good condition. The fairways were bare in places so need to be GUR or winter rules for pick and place.
The bunkers were made wet so the sand was heavy.
The clubhouse and food was nice but the visitor WiFi was broken on the day.
Good price, nice staff, average course
I would recommend this course if you are an average golfer looking for an economical round of golf. Slow pace, but did tee off in the afternoon behind a golf league.
Slow Play
Everything about this course was very good except the pace of play.
Fairways are thin and very sparse. Greens were the best part of the course.
Good Course
Best course we found in the Saint Petersburg area.
Beautiful Course
Friendly staff, challenging layout, nice fairways. The greens were in great shape. Nice 19th hole!
Good day!
It rained.on and off throughout the day but still had a very nice time. The ponds were a fun challenge.
Great course - but difficult
Really nice course in great condition. Some challenging holes, for sure, and it's fairly long. A good challenge — especially four us four mid-high handicappers. It kicked our butts.
So sorry about your back and the cart paths. We definitely have repairs on our to-do list but have been focused on tee boxes and putting greens this season. Thanks so much!
