Beautiful Course

Indian Bayou has always been known for its great course condition, and it continues to impress. Fairways and greens are simply beautiful. The grass height is clearly managed daily. The staff is quite good, friendly and responsive. I’m a big fan of Indian Bayou! I’d highly recommend it!!

Very Nice condition

Enjoyed the course and outs challenges. Best to keep it in the fairway or close to the first cut. Some great greens and faster than I expected. They had been sanded this week but nothing adversely affected the roil of the ball. I would recommend it and we had to wait on one hole. Two minutes is all.

Fun course.

Not much to say other than this was a really fun course that was in great shape. There were a few greens on the back 9 that looked to be recently sanded, but that didn’t stop the ball from rolling. I enjoyed it and would recommend giving this course a shot.

Good round overall

Good course overall. Greens were a tad inconsistent but could have been the weather. Only complaint is rental clubs. $50 per set for subpar clubs, made me hand over my drivers license which I of course forgot to pick back up at the end of the round as we were in a hurry for a dinner reservation. Had to drive all the way back out there (from Rosemary) to get my license. There has to be a better way, credit card seems sensible.

This course is good for all golfers

The course is not too long but still challenging. The only delay we had was a turtle slowly crossing the green while we were trying to putt.

Great!

Staff was great and course was excellent. I’ve played most of the courses around here over the last 10 years and somehow overlooked this one till now. Definitely one of the best and looking forward to playing it again! Nice layout, greens roll well and course overall in great shape.

Solid course, over priced

Solid course in very good condition. Lot of holes with similar looks, not much “wow” factor, especially considering the price. Because of that, if playing in the region again on vacation I would pay a little more for another course.

Starter was friendly and informative.

Would be a good home course with (assumed) Membership or local rates.
