About Us

The Coves at Bird Island on Grand Lake originally began as the site of a private hunting and game reserve. The property was acquired for the purpose of real estate development in 1981. The developers were committed to retaining the natural beauty of the area, and yet provide leisure, comfort, and privacy for the homeowners. Today the concept of a natural lake environment is blended with our public 18 hole championship golf course, 16-acre practice facility, welcoming community clubhouse, swimming pool, tennis and pickleball courts, private boat ramp and community boat slips. The Coves unique 24-hour security is provided by EMS trained personnel who are just minutes away in an emergency.

    Today there are 355 homes located on the 662-acre peninsula featuring 5 miles of prime shoreline. The golf, the amenities, the location, and the security are just a few of the reasons The Coves at Bird Island is the destination of choice. Nearby you will also find two major yachting clubs that offer formal to informal dining, four major marinas, sailing regattas, water skiing, fishing and the famous 4th of July fireworks display at the Cherokee Yacht Club.
