2020 is behind us. A year none of us will soon forget. After making the very difficult decision to close the course back in the spring, so much has happened that it seems like 8 years, not 8 months. On behalf of all of us at Cordova Bay, I would like to take this time […]
As we have always done, the golf course will be open on Christmas Day. A small group of Cordova Bay employees volunteer their time to greet golfers and facilitate play on December 25th. . 100% of fees collected will be donated to local charities, The Mustard Seed Street Church and The Shelbourne Community […]
2019 was the year that the USGA and the R&A, the self-proclaimed Supreme Commanders of Golf, decided to turn the world of golf upside down by allowing you to putt with the flagstick in (or out).
