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!

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.

Vacation Golf

Played the course after a heavy rainstorm the day before so it was 90 with some cart path only. The day we played the pins were tucked in some tight areas around the green, but overall the course was in good shape.
