Bluewater Bay Resort - Marsh Course

Course needs a little attention, overall the views were great and layout was fun!

We played here 2 years ago and thought it was on its last leg, having pared down from 27 holes to 18 and needing a lot of TLC.

The reason we played this time - my wife decided in the morning that we should play and this was one of the few courses in the area that had a tee time at a decent price.

Our expectations were mildly exceeded when the course marshall drove a new cart to my wife while I checked in. The staff made us feel welcomed and took extra time to explain the layout and the signage.

Agreeing with other reviewers that this place still needs TLC (especially the Bay 9 fairways and greens), someone has recently put a lot of effort into making sure players know how to get around the courses, not easy if left on your own.

Overall we were pleasantly surprised by the improvements and the condition of the courses and will look to play here again.

I moved to the area two years ago and have been trying to play all the local courses, private and public. Besides the Golf Garden of Destin (now closed), this is one of the worst local courses I have played.

Currently, the homeowners association is in talks to sell off the course to a developer. The driving range has already been sold and currently being developed.

The course itself was brutal to play. All the tee boxes had serious damage. Sandy and very little grass if any on certain tees. The greens were hammered with dry sandy spots, dead grass. Most of the fairways were in decent shape but overall the course is a 2.5/10 maybe. You'll have to play for yourself to understand the significant damage out there.

DO NOT WALK. It's about a 2 minutes drive by cart to the Bay Hole 1, and a 3 minute drive to Marsh Hole 1. Significant driving between holes.

They are better off selling the land. They are trying to raise 2.48 million to keep the course open and realistically need about 5 million to make significant improvements to the course to justify it staying open.

Great, friendly staff that was super helpful. The course however needs some help; the layout has you away from the clubhouse the mine you leave the putting practice area. No water on the course for you to drink, and the tee boxes and greens need a little love.

Super friendly staff but the course leaves a bit of attention. Takes a while to get to the 1st & 10th tee boxes and there isn’t much assistance on the course. No water, certain holes were changed without much/any information

This is the course you play when you haven’t played since October.

I think the track has some potential. Tight fairways and some good potential for being a good track when it is in better shape. It does need some work though to get there.

Fairways were very rough-(not maintained) and greens were shaggy, bumpy and SLOW.

No grass on greens or fairways. Worst course ever played down here. 1 good thing nobody's on course so I flew around the course.

Temporary green in the fairway that could have been mistaken for a waist bunker. Such a nice neighborhood, a shame they have let the course rot.. way over priced $40 but should be $10. Teed off at 10AM no cars in the parking lot and didn’t see another golfer on the course until 1pm weekend Saturday.

Dried bumpy greens. Played 9 holes—quite a drive to the new 9th hole.

Nice course but not worth $40 in it's present state.
Hardly any grass on the fairways and the greens were not any better.

Staff very pleasant. Understand the course has lots of construction going on around it. It was a pleasant day for my wife and I to play. Number nine replacement green was different. I was on in two and five putted lol
