Course Highlights
Indian Bayou consistently impresses with beautifully maintained fairways, true-rolling greens, and a tight tree-lined layout that rewards accurate ball-striking. Exceptionally warm staff, smooth rounds under three hours, and outstanding value make this a top Florida Panhandle destination.

Enjoyed the course

I played the course within a week after the hurricane in Destin and found it to be amazingly good shape. I like the layout and the options on the tea boxes. I found the greens to be fair and overall good condition. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. I will definitely play it again when we return to Destin.

Indian Bayou Review by Eddy

Very enjoyable round of golf. Wide fairways and the rough was about 1" deep allowing me to find any wayward shots and play at a fast pace.

Great Value

I played this using a hot deal and added a $10 coupon so it only cost me 66 and made it absolutely worth playing. I don’t think it’s worth over $100 though.

Course was decent but I believe a little overpriced for what you get. However, the staff were all super friendly and welcoming.

Ellis review of Indian Bayou

Ive been coming to Destin for 30 years, but never played Indian Bayou. A fellow golfer recommended it. Im glad he did!! The course is excellent! Beautiful layout. The fairways are remarkable. The greens were sandy from a recent airification, but they rolled fast and true. I have played Kelly Plantation and Regatta Bay many times, and Indian Bayou is as nice and is a much better value. It will be my go to in the future.
