Friendly lady at check in. I asked about where to get the cart and she told me to go down stairs and a gent would give me a cart and directions to first hole. I went downstairs but no one was there. I walked to the other end of the shed , found a guy , and asked him if he was who I needed to see about getting a cart. He gruffly replied the he would help me as soon as he got finished cleaning the cart he was working on!!! After a couple of minutes he gave us a cart. The course has a lot of character but the fairways are non existent. Mostly sand and weeds. Even in the middle of the fairway , it was like hitting out of fairway bunkers all day long. Greens and tee boxes were ok, so I assume there is no irrigation in the fairways. 65 for 18 holes. Should be about 35. Would gladly pay 100 if there was grass in the fairways. Great potential if someone put a few bucks in the place. read more

Man I REALLY hate to give bad reviews, but I also believe you should get what you pay for. You WILL NOT get what you pay for at this golf course! The course layout is great, and it gets pretty tight on several holes, but the course maintenance is atrocious! The entire course looks like it has not been maintained for months and needs water badly! Then you'll find some areas under water! Bald spots all over the place. No grass on the tee boxes and the greens, we'll just call them sandy browns at this course, are nothing but dirt with patches of something green in places. Good luck with your puts!! This course could be great. But until they get their grounds maintenance squared away, this course isn't even worth it at half price. If I were a member at this course I WOULD BE PISSED!! It'll be a long time before I consider playing this course again. read more

Course needs to improve fairways, greens & tees. Course in very rough shape! We will not play again. read more

Marsh course is decent, this place needs sprinklers bad on their greens, the marsh course has better greens and fairways than the bay course. We played 18 holes and still had a good time but most of the greens don't have grass on the edges of em, some of the fairways and tee boxes don't have any grass, but overall a cool course that has potential just needs some work. read more

Great conditions! Had some great views on Marsh and Bay courses. Greens were smooth and quick. Had a great time!

This place is an absolute DOG TRACK!!! The only perk is the carts go the speed of light because they want you to complete this dump in as little time as possible. 0 stars if I could leave 0. read more

Terrible looking course and denied the rental of clubs due to how we look. Never going back again

Great time at Bluewater Bay playing golf. The course was in great shape. Compared to the Destin courses, this is a great money saving option. We paid $27 per person for 9 holes with a cart. read more

Probably one of the worst golf courses I have ever played over the last 17 years. It's looks like there isn't even a groundskeeper. The tee boxes are over grown, the greens are in terrible shape. Each shot you make you don't know if you will be hitting off sand, a rock, or pine straw that they use to cover the terrible grass. Just have some sense of ownership in a golf course. The best part is they actually believe "we are one of the better golf courses in the area" I would only return if they hired a new groundskeeper and the wait staff wasn't terrible as well. I give it 5 years before the golf is turned into new housing. read more

Love the set up here. 3 9 hole courses they shuffle up so you can play a few days while in town. Great people and the cart girl makes several trips by so you don't go thirsty ! Have fun ! read more

Course was not in very good shape. For $45 I expected much more. The course wasn't busy but most of the fairways were littered with sand and weed patches. Landscaping needed work. Short courses. read more

Well we live here so that should say enough. Lots of varied neighborhoods in a large residential community complete with many amenities.

An absolutely lovely gated community in the eastern part of Niceville. Marina, restaurant, golf, and a lot of very nice upper middle class and higher-end homes. Basically zero crime, good schools, and a generally great place to live. Kind of low to the water in a bad storm though. read more

This is for the golf course, not the community. While the course conditions and staff were fine, I felt they deceived us when I asked about their club rental selection. They told me the clubs were Taylormade RAC's but failed to mention that some of the clubs were Taylormade RAC's and the rest where no-name pieces of crap. Guessed they needed the rounds? read more

Will not be returning. Following an afernoon round of golf and a visit to the bar my credit card was charged twice for a round of drinks. I returned to the bar at a later date for my refund that, over the phone, was promised to be quick and painless and to bring my card and bank statement. This was not the case.. they were unable to offer me a prompt and accurate refund even after bringing what they asked. Had to end up disputing the charges with my bank. It is obvious the staff is not trained properly and also careless. read more

Restaurant stunk. Food was OK, but service was worse than horrible. A party of 8 that sat down after we ordered received their food 15 minutes before our group did. Asked for the check and it arrived - 20 minutes later, after two reminders. Server was surly and had excuses for everything. Never going back, which is sad, as we are locals and like the golf course... read more

Positives: Staff were very friendly and they have an affordable bar/restaurant. Carts were pretty nice too. Otherwise, the place is pretty crappy. Looking back, the $32 "deal" wasn't worth it. Cartpaths are bad, greens are rolling about a 6, and it's the most poorly marked course I've ever played. I wish we had known this ahead of time and spent an extra $20 to experience something worthwhile. Do NOT play here if it has been raining in the days leading up to your round. read more
