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.

Great Course!!!

I’ve been here 2x and both times the course has been in fantastic condition, the employees have been helpful and friendly, and the food has been excellent. I recommend this course to anyone living or traveling in the Destin/Miramar Beach area.

Excellent Course

Golf course in my opinion is the best in class in and around Destin. Course was immaculate. I have been in Destin for the snow birds seasons for 5 years. Always I keep returning to this course.

Enjoyable round

We had a really nice round. The course was in pretty good shape. The greens were better than most. I would recommend it.

Snowbirds

Very nice course,friendly staff. Conditions were pretty good for mid March. Only negative were many of the holes were similar. Particularly from the shorter tees. Opens up more the farther back you play.

COURSE WASN'T IN GOOD SHAPE

I KNOW IT WAS FEBRUARY AND THEY HAD HAD SNOW THE MONTH BEFORE, BUT THE FAIRWAYS WERE JUST FLATTENED DEAD GRASS. WE PLAYED THERE A COUPLE YEARS AGO AND IT WAS MUCH BETTER. IT WAS IN THE 60'S THE DAY WE PLAYED. I THINK A DISCOUNT ON PRICE WOULD BE ADVISABLE IF THE COURSE CONDITIONS WERE AS THEY WERE.
