Indian Bayou Golf Club

I chose this course in spite of a few bad reviews, and have never been more sorry. The comments about weeds were factual, and fairways had bare dirt spots. We ended up moving numerous shots to find grass. For a twilight rate of $125+, you expect something better than pasture pool. BEWARE AND BE WARNED!!!

Indian Bayou offers a layout that allows for creativity off the tee and multiple approach options. The course conditions were good but not quite great for late April. Staff was very courteous, but pace of play was slowed a touch by connected foursomes.

No water buckets on the course but everything is great.

Had a great time playing Indian Bayou. We had so much fun we played it again the next day. First time to vacation in the Destin, Panama City area of Florida. We will be back!

Course was in beautiful condition. We tee’d off at 8:30 with very few people on the driving range (things were much busier when we finished at 11:45am). Pace of play was excellent. The staff were all helpful and friendly. Impressed with the condition of the greens/fairways/tee boxes. The course is not very challenging as a low single digit handicap (wide fairways, simple greens, minimal trouble) and overall felt a bit overpriced at $160. If you can get a ‘hot deal’, it would be much better value.

Beautiful day. It’s April. Course not in mint condition. Greens good shape and enjoyed the good speed. A lot of clean up work going on. Tree limbs everywhere. Course not in the same condition as found in the past.

Played yesterday and the course was in outstanding shape. Tee boxes, fairways and greens was in excellent shape. I play this course every time while in Destin. I highly recommend you play it as well. Thanks to everyone who made my golf day truly exceptional!

Great place to play a round and course difficulty isn't a deterrence. Friendly staff and beautiful course leave you with a desire to play again and again.

I am certainly spoiled by the private club where I normally play so factor that into my comments. The appeal of this course (based on reviews I have read about other Destin-area courses) is the higher price probably contributed to the faster pace of play. We came in at just over 4 hours on a picture-perfect Friday morning. Greens rolled true; the bunkers had consistent sand and the course featured tight fairways. On the down side, the grass was a bit thin and the layout was pretty ho-hum. Staff was friendly, though I didn’t look at any amenities.

Best greens I've played on this season. Multiple fairways edges were covered in pine branches from maintenance. That probably could have been handled better. Layout was good but not great (a few memorable holes). Pace of play was excellent. Staff was excellent.

Staff was very friendly, greens were in great shape. Fairway turf was not up to par for a $150 round, IMO.

We were on vacation and the course was just 5 mins from where we were staying. The staff was great, guy met us at our vehicle with a cart and loaded our clubs. The pro shop staff were friendly and helpful. The course it self was fun to play with narrow Fairways and small greens. The only down fall was we made the turn and the club house had no food. Would definitely play this course again.

The layout is good. I played the course 2 days in a row because of the ‘intrigue’. The greens are small

and fast. So after ‘missing’ by just a few feet, i learned to putt from the fringe (6 feet of fringe on all greens).

Had a blast playing this on a random Tuesday afternoon.

Had to rent clubs for $40, which seemed fair compared to what some of the other local spots charge.

Got a hot deal so round was reasonably priced. Had the course to myself and had a blast.

Not very tough right now as it is still pretty soft from recent rain. Greens were tough for a first timer but nothing crazy.

Super fun experience will be back if I can get a discount off rack rates again.
