I am an elderly gentleman with a very slow swing speed. I was curious about senior club shafts so…read moreI went to the Clearwater Golf Galaxy store. Pete Peterson in the Golf Club section had me hit a few shots with my current clubs and then had me try a senior graphite shaft club which added 10 to 20 yards to my shots! He gave me the the shaft weight and Torque that he thought would work best for me and took me over to the tech fitting department. The tech help me sort through the dozens of shafts that are available. I tried them over the weekend and now I'm as happy as a dog on a bone. Thank you Pete et al!

I spent parts of two days last winter working with Natalie at the TPC of Tampa Bay. I had hoped to…read morefix some bad habits and fine tune my swing as I approached my 70th birthday as a 10 handicap hacker. She changed my grip, my stance, my head position, my alignment and my putting approach. By the second day, I wasn't sure all the changes were worth it but I stuck with them and eventually the strange sensations became a comfortable routine. Bottom line: I shot my age last month. Thank you, Natalie!

Came here for a wedding actually. As a rule I have a great distaste for country clubs because of…read morethe snoot factor. This place is no different. It has a well manicured 18 hole golf course, nine more holes (27 total) gym, two pools, tennis courts and all that. It also has a clubhouse which is the focus of my review. First off, this is the ugliest clubhouse I've ever entered. Think Little Rascals He Man Woman Hater's Club if you're that much into club houses. Ugly brown crown molding, ratty carpeting, ugly beige walls and exposed wood ceilings. The lobby looks like a mausoleum too. After the ceremony in a non cool room (idiots turned on the heat by mistake), we were sent into the reception area, which was the south room and adjoining spaces. At least they actually had on the AC in here. Open bar and passed canapés as one would expect. Some of these canapés including bacon wrapped scallops stand out because they were AWFUL!! I almost spit out the spinach pie; I should've known better when I saw them drizzled with heaven knows what. Scallops over cooked and lousy...at least there was an open bar. After two dark rum and colas, I even had enough of that; cheap lo-rent swill. Salad was simple mixed greens with a slice of cuke, some red onion and a couple of CHILLED cherry tomatoes. Well, there was the next sign that the kitchen doesn't know what it's doing. Tomatoes are supposed to be room temperature; period. Dressing stop said salad was nondescript. For entrees the Queen Bee had crab stuffed grouper and I had filet mignon. Filet was bland but had a halfway decent demiglaze with it. Queen Bee didn't care for her grouper. Everyone else at the table seemed more or less okay with it. To be fair, I didn't try the stuff. Both entrees were accompanied by overcooked asparagus and bland rice pilaf. Blech! I'm sure the wedding party paid good money for this stuff. If this is any sign of how their dining rooms are, then kindly include me OUT of this club. I'd rather graze on the grass from the 10th fairway. The desserts you see are provided by an outside bakery so nothing to say here. Not really much worthwhile or positive to say about having a function here, either. Have it at Chuck E. Cheese or a bowling alley instead! Eh!!

I sought out Rick for his successful college coaching credentials. Our first lesson showed he was an impressive and fast observer, and based his coaching on my game, physique, and basic flaws, which he made most understandable. In 5 more lessons, he gave me simple drills, much encouragement, and the order to "remember the good ones, not the bad ones." My accuracy percentage has improved impressively. My former persistent tops have become (mostly) airborne shots with about +8 yards per iron, and 10-15 on woods. I now have a clear idea about how and why proper posture (a big focus) and sequence work together. My short game have improved greatly, with more up and downs. You cannot be disappointed by practicing what he tells you!

Cove Cay is essentially my "home course" in central Clearwater. This course has amazing potential…read moreas it is set right on the Bay with stunning views on multiple holes. The staff is accommodating, though not necessarily friendly. The driving area is pinched between the first and tenth fairways but is adequate. The track of the course is ok on the front, winding through condos and dumping you out on hole 9 with the first great view of the day. The back 9 is much more fun to play with water on almost every hole, 2 par fives and 4 par threes. The course consistently struggles to be in great shape with the greens patchy and sandy quite often. However, when the course is in good shape it is one of my favorite courses to play.

Called the pro shop and they didn't offer any help. The halfway house was out of beer and the worker said it would be too much work for them to get anymore (walking across the street). Tee boxes are uglier than my mother in law. I had high hopes and unfortunately they were let down. I won't be coming back. I'll drive an extra 30 minutes to play anywhere else.
