Osprey Cove Golf & Country Club

This course has received praise as a very user-friendly course, offering a variety of tee boxes to accommodate virtually all ranges of golf skill. The greens are relatively small and surrounded by small bunkers. It is likely that golfers will stray into sand bunkers rather than water hazards on this course. Overall the course is very fair. The fairways are tree lined, but not tight. The signature hole is #18, a 500-yard, par 5, which requires carrying a marsh area in front of the green. The course has ranked among the top in the state for six consecutive years. 123 Osprey Dr (off St. Marys Road) St. Marys, GA 31558. Call (800)352-5575 for more information and tee times.
