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.

I Recommend This Course
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.

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.
