Really nice course.

Great course especially for average golfers. Mostly open except a few holes that have trees making the landing area seem a little tighter. Greens rolled great. Will play again.

Good Day

Indian Bayou was great. Course was in great shape and the greens rolled very true.

Only piece of feedback would be investing in some new range balls. Other than that it’s a great course for a good value.

Fun, Beautiful Course

Indian Bayou is a beautiful golf course. The course was in excellent condition all around - pristine bunkers and the fairways and greens were in amazing shape. Staff were very friendly and helpful. We ended up having to rent clubs due to issues with our golf clubs making it on the trip and the clubs they provided us were good sets of Srixons. Balls are provided at the range and the practice green is nice and big. Very impressed with this course all around. Well worth the money. Saw the cart girl 4 times during our round as well, which is always a plus, particularly on a hot day.
