First, let's review the course. You drop your bags and load them yourself. The proshop attendant was cordial. The starters were amazing and friendly and full of information. Because of them, we'd come back. Our round was 4 hrs and 40 min. The guys in front of us had no one in front of them, and no ranger around. It was brutal. Yep we're beginners. The course is in pretty good shape. It's challenging enough if you don't have an accurate shot. It's nicely laid out and scenic. The fairways were in really good shape The restaurant opens at 11. We stopped on the turn. The two we played with called in their order, which we didn't think to do for a hot dog. The bartender let us know that there is a big sign on 8 that says to call in. She did get us a hot dog anyway. A server was filling pitchers of water and wasn't happy about it. We asked for one to fill our water bottles as the water on the curse was empty. She gave it to us and said she wasn't filling pitchers all day we could go to the water station on one. Wow. Ok. She must have been having a bad day. The grill, was more of a restaurant, which would explain no ready hot dogs. Our mistake.btw, the hot was good.

Just played the front 9 at cove cay. Good enough course, it has been drive and they have worn out the tee boxes we were playing on but I guess we could have played different tees. But I had an emergency and got called away after 9. Playing partner said go to the front and they should give a rain check. Pretty normal and I have done it a couple times. Seems pretty normal. Guy behind the desk said unless it rains we can’t give you a rain check. Pretty crazy as I know many other courses would do it, if nothing else to get you back to the course to pay for another 9 and drinks and food. Well won’t be coming back even if it does rain. **** response to the reply “all courses are that way”. You are 100% wrong, many courses will give a curiosity rain check when something happens in life and you have to leave. And those courses get their customers back to the course. I’m a local and I play golf all around Clearwater and I probably would have came back as my friend plays there a good bit but not if there is zero customer service ****

Good course. Good condition. Slow pace of play. Cart died on the 17th hole and we had to walk back to the clubhouse in the rain. Staff didn’t seem to care or offer any apology. Besides that it was an enjoyable round.

Extremely challenging.. No cash, card only No hot dogs or soda at the turn around? This would be a perfect course for a roving Snack cart with beer,, sandwiches etc

Enjoyed this course. Very getable, great views of Tampa Bay and course was in good condition. Had Ping G430’s for rental clubs. Tee’d off at 7:37, was done in under 4 hours.
