Bayou Golf Course

Best bang for your buck! Especially for beginner golfers. This course has helped me tremendously. Simply because it is challenging enough to keep you coming back to work on your fundamental early learning in the game. The staff is awesome, the course has its negatives. Hole 1 gets super muddy with minimal rain, and hole 4 fairway can get the same way. Front 9 has a a lot of water hazards, but the back 9 makes up for it. All In all, it’s a good course and great value. Good course to build on your game and cheap enough that you can go back consistently without breaking the bank.

We had a good rainstorm come thru so we went to the clubhouse to take a break until the rain passed. You wouldn’t meet a nicer group of regular club members than Bayou. They also have very Affordable dine-in or grab and go meals. The chicken salad, and hamburgers were great. The hotdog might’ve been the best I’ve ever tasted. I did not meet one pushy person on this course in a crazy hurry. They were full, but everybody was there to have a good time. All in all the course conditions were really good. The fairways had nice playability and the greens were super fast. Yes, as noted in previous reviews they have had issues with their front 9 when its wet on a couple of holes, which they are very open about and they have a plan to address those issues. If you’re a person that needs perfect course conditions on every single hole, this is not the course for you; but if you want to go out to play and have a great time in a great environment, around a bunch of great people, this is definitely the course for you.

Great course for the money, front 9 is hit or miss back. Back nine is tremendously better. Great greens!!

This is locals go to spot!

The first hole’s fairway is mostly sand.. I played on a really rainy day so the front 9 was basically a swamp.. So much so that the Marshall felt the need to move me over to the back 9 instead of issuing a raincheck. I’m sure this course plays better on a sunny day.. but I ended up shooting extremely well in the soggy conditions. I even surprised myself. I was happy with it because I ended up playing about 27 total holes of golf for $23. And that included a cart. I’ve only ever played this course on a golf now, so I don’t know what full price for a round there is. But I wouldn’t be happy with paying that until the mucky and muddy fromt 9 is back in order. Apparently it’s been like that for years.

Front 9 was not playable due to standing water. Was told to play back 9 twice. Back 9 should not have been considered playable either. 1” of standing water on the majority of fairways mushy greens and tee boxes, standing water in bunkers. Not that its controllable but mosquitoes were horrible, to the point where shots could not be effective played.

While the back 9 was a pleasant part the front 9 was in horrible conditions tons of dried out spot due to flooding from the sea water it made it hard to play in spots due to hard grown,. Had to move ball to sister ground. The club house was OK, small but at least they had a snack bar and snack cart. The only thing that really turned me off is that use well water but there ice was yellow which tells me filters are old and full of sulfur. It smelled and not very good. The only best thing was the back 9. Beautiful sight, challenging enough for an amateur golfer.

The back 9 was ok but the front 9 is in terrible shape. Half the fairways on the front are just mud.

Had a really good time

Good layout. Tough greens, played longer than expected. But had a really good time

We played this course a few times for 4 years. We have gone when the course has good days, and we have gone when it is bad. It has nothing to do with the staff nor the course in general, it has to do with the rain and/or storm surges. A bayou runs the length of the course from the north side, and this drains into Galveston Bay. If there are any storms in the area, there is a possibility of water being on the front 9 of the course. It is playable, but makes the fairways that much smaller. Overall, if you choose a time where there is minimal amount of rain, the course is perfect.

The staff was not friendly. The front nine was a mud pit. The greens were terrible. Nothing good about the front nine. The back no was like a completely different course. The cart paths were asphalt, the fairways were nice, and the greens were decent.

We got behind three young kids and waited over ten minutes between shots. Miserable

Good course, some rough spots that need to grow out on a few holes. Enjoyed the holes with water, Staff friendly.

Course condition is much better than thae last few times we've played it. Maybe because of rain, partly because of maintenance. Not a pristine course, but it's a great value! Pace of play was great. Played 18 and did not wait on a single hole!

This could be a great course with some work on the front 9. The back 9 are in wonderful shape and were laid out well.

The course is my go to spot as I live in the area. I enjoy the challenge and the proximity to my home.

The course is on cart path at certain times due to rain and very high tides but the staff work deliberately to make it known. All and all I enjoy my time there.
