The Bayou always Impresses
I'm always impressed with Indian Bayou. The course was in great shape for a January round. It wasn't heavily overseeded like most of the courses in the area. The greens were hard and fast and the fairways were in good shape.

IB
We come to Destin every year but I haven’t been out to IB in a few years. This course is in such good condition, and the greens may have been the purest I’ve ever played. Will definitely be back next year! Five stars!

Indian Bayou Grounds Crews
Have to say this course is in great shape. Grounds Keeper and Crew are doing a super job. Greens are fast and roll true. Could use some minor repairs to the cart paths but the golf carts themselves are in very good shape.

first visit
Facility has been maintained well and
all is fresh and clean .
Driving range a surprise . many stations
and though large there enough trees to block the wind .
No limit on warm up balls was appreciated for the warmup of older bones.
Course wide enough for imtermetate players. Its defense is the length of the back tees on many of the holes.
Greens smooth for winter time and not bumpy or too slow . Speed was consistent also.
