Good course

Scenic hills and valleys make this course a great place to spend a day in the country, and an interesting golf experience. Some areas show bare ground or dead grass, but the course is in overall excellent condition despite recent extreme heat and lack of rain. It is equal to more-expensive courses in Northwest Florida.
I noticed many divots that have not been filled with sand by golfers, despite sand being provided for this purpose on each golf cart.
If we spot someone leaving unrepaired divots, would it be rude to throw pinecones at them?

Review

A very good course, especially at the price booked through GolfNow. Some parts of the course, including the practice range, were under repair today, but this was only a minor inconvenience. The greens are especially challenging, due to undulations and pin placement . The snack bar closed at 2 pm - too early for afternoon players.

Michael,
Thank you for playing with us and providing the review. The winter played a toll but the worn weather is really making a difference for us and those areas are healing quickly now. Grill sometimes stays open later depending on the amount of play we have. Hope to see you again soon!
Thank you,

Convenient

This course is close to my home, and therefore is the most convenient place for me to play. The waterfront scenery along some holes is inspiring.
Staff are friendly and professional.
Course conditions tend to vary according to recent weather, and some parts of the course, such as cart paths, need repair or upgrading, but the staff is aware of this and working on it.
Fairways are rather narrow - a bad tee shot will put your ball in someone's backyard.
Bluewater Bay offers a better value for price than many more expensive courses across the Mid-Bay Bridge.

Much improved

I played this course last year and again this year, in February both times. This year the course is in much better condition than last year. This year's greens are super smooth, the fairways are in great shape, and the overall condition of the course is excellent. It is a bargain at the price they charge, compared with similar courses in the Kissimmee area.
