Bluewater Bay Resort - Magnolia Course

We have not played for a long while, but after hearing about the big improvements, we gave Blue Water Bay another look. We had a wonderful 9 holes (Marsh Course), which has done a 180 from over a year ago. Our spouses enjoyed it and my brother and I, who are avid golfers on the panhandle, had a blast playing, because of the good conditions. Bunkers were groomed, the rough was thin, but the tree lined fairways helped with that, no breaks:-) Fairways could not be blamed for bad shot, for the most part were ok. The greens were the most improved and rolled very nicely! $30 for nine holes is definitely worth the time and effort to drive to Blue Water Bay. Did not play the Bay 9 holes, so I will not comment until we do! Nice carts and friendly staff! No driving range but very nice practice green in front of the club house. Carry drinks and snacks with you from the clubhouse before you play!

This course is a great find. Greens and fairways were in great condition. It is a very unique layout, short course and have to plan each tee shot. Couple holes by the bay have awesome views. Would definitely play again.

Even though we played this course cart path only twice...Our Golfing experience was great! Course layout and maintenance was good...Thanks to everyone for a great day on the course

Course was in great shape, including fairways and greens
Easy check in with friendly staff. First time playing loved the layout and design.
Great job Bluewater bay.

What an excellent turn around this course is making!!! Had a blast with some buddies as the golf course is really starting to take shape with the overseed. Looks amazing and the greens are starting to roll better. Some holes are stuggling but I'm sure they will turn around as well. Would recommend this golf course in its current condition. Price was just right =)

Most of the greens were of average speed. Only a few of the greens were not smooth with defects. Fairways and tees were well maintained.

Really nice layout and friendly staff. However, the front 9 greens were in horrible shape. Back 9 greens were in better shape but just ok at best.

Honestly, im not sure what was worse. From the tee boxes being nothing but sand hardly any grass, or the greens that may or may not have grass on them at all. This place would be fun if they cared about it. Sad

Fairways and greens were terrible . I know they just arriated but this was not worth the time or money. Hopefully they will get their act together.

So unfortunate that this course is in such terrible shape. Not worth the $50. I am a local. I will never go back.

Course has great potential but no one bothered to warn us of the nearly unplayable conditions. Aerated/plowed fairways and tee boxes then the greens had not mowed in weeks? With bare dirt patches on them. I sincerely hope that they are able to turn things around and survive but duping people into playing the course in current conditions doesn’t seem like a promising business model.

We used to golf here years ago & it was one of our favorites. The whole course has went downhill. We were so disappointed!! Some of the residential yards were in better shape than this course! The tee boxes hardly had any grass on them. The greens were shaggy with big patches of sand all over them leaving it almost impossible to putt. The fairways were mostly sand and scrub grass. This course needs some serious attention!! We felt like we should have been paid to play instead of paying for these horrible conditions. We do not recommend unless you want to waste your money.

This corse is not worth the money. If staff had been forthcoming about the course condition we would not have played here!

This course has been neglected, the tee boxes , fairways and greens are in terrible shape, appears that the owners are not watering the course. Save your money and go some place else to play your golf game because you will be disappointed if you play this course.

Fun course to play. They are working on the overall conditions. But a great value for the money
