Course knowledge would help

Well groomed course. the greens were fair and fast but course knowledge would have helped. Some of the greens were extremely undulated and large. Two clubs large! Knowing the greens would dictate the approach. Great course though. Risk rewards were awesome. Definitely score better next round.

Forced carryville!

Better be able to hit it in the air here. Multiple forced carries. Pay attention to the GPS and distances, especially on the par fives to get the best approach. Fun course. Played for $10 on golf now. Flew through the course until I hit a fivesome on the 16th. Fun day.

Just me!

I purchased the $85 unlimited play. I checked Tranquilo's online tee sheet and chose a day that was slow and I could get off first. 6 hours and 20 minutes after I teed off, I needed a par on 18 to break 310. Seventy two holes in under 6 1/2 hours! The fairways and greens are large. The greens are the course's main defense, for me, the greens were slow because of aeration. It took some of the "bite" out of the course. the staff were great! Took full advantage of the free water and fruit. I was told I could order food and they would bring it to me on the course! I didn't do it, but wished I had. I was too busy flying around the course! Played through one deuce and one single all day! Perfect day!

Could be,should be. isn't

Cove Cay could be a nice course. They have some nice risk/reward holes. Some tight fairways and two tough par threes. There are some easier holes too. The course needs attention. Some really rough greens and most of the tees are in bad shape. I don't care about the tees as the ball is teed up but it's indicative of the course as a whole. a few of the traps are unplayable. New ownership needs to dump a bunch of money, short of that, it'll never be as good as it could be. It was really cheap, but you get what you pay for here.

Super Tight from the tips

I played the front from the blues {6300} and shot around par. Switched to the tips for the back {6700} and shot ten over! A lot of slope on greens and the back is tight. 18 has a 230yd fade carry off the tee. Loads of fun. Course was wet after much rain but able to play the ball down for all but two shots. Loads of fun and for 15$...WOW!!

Lots of water and traps. Some nice risk reward holes. Sprinkler heads marked. Greens were still a little bumpy but a very pretty course and lots of fun.

Common....Really?

Common..really? $18.00 on golf now for one of the top 100 courses in the country? What's to say? It's a great course,,a little quirky with tees on a few holes but fun and fair. Nice shape too given the weather. If you can get the golf now rate and don't play this course....I don't know what to say.

They're trying

They have some problems with a few of the greens but I wasn't surprised given all the rain. I saw a lot of work going on trying to repair the damage by heat and water. The course was short but challenging. You can't just spray it around...some SMALL greens add to the difficulty. The staff was very nice and for under $10 it's a must play.

Wow! That's a lot of water!

Short par fives...short par fours....a lot of scoring chances IF you can stay out of the drink! Water on EVERY hole. Lots of fun...worth playing.

Easier from the white tees

Played this course last summer from the golds, A challenging course from there. The fellow I was paired with wanted to play the whites. I expected it to be easier but it took all the teeth out of the course. Still a lot of fun though. Greens were nice. .fairways a little wet but fine. Worth the price.

$14 WHAT!!!!!

This is a very nice course. From the back tees you need to be able to hit a wide range of shots. The greens were being worked on so they weren't great and it is July and rainy but what a fun course! And for $14 bucks! A no brainer.

Nice layout

I enjoyed this course. The layout is fun with some short par fours to tempt you. Lots of water. The greens and fairways weren't the best but that could be due to all the rain for the last month. Great deal on Golfnow.. Absolutely worth playing for the price.

Fun course

For 19 bucks you can go wrong! The course was in great shape after all the rain, No cart restrictions. The greens were a different grass than I had ever played before. Had to play the slope and not the grain is what the pro shop said, I thought they were true and a lot bigger than the greens at home in Ct where I play. Great value. I could play this course every day!

Slicers Delight!!

Wow..never seen so many tee shots that favor a fade! The last two holes are dog legs right. The course gets a lot of play but was in really good shape, despite all the recent rain, and the price was exceptional.
