Don’t Play in Dormant Season

The course was nice but there was little green grass. Since we came down from the cold north we were looking forward to playing but did not realize how limiting it would feel to play with dormant grass. With the ground so hard it made it difficult to chip. We finished playing at 2:30 and even though the kitchen was supposed to stay open until 3:00 the kitchen was already closed but they did give free pretzels.

Indian Bayou golf

Very nice course. It was winter so the fairway grass was a bit burned out but playable. The greens were challenging as they were fast and undulating. We had a great golfing experience and the discount we got via Golf Now made this good value for the money. Would golf again for the same discount. Given the conditions and time of year I do not think the regular green fees would be worth it especially if you are a husband and wife.

Indian Bayou

Nice course but tight fairway lies due to dormant grass. No fault of the course maintenance staff just mother nature for this time of the year. Nice course layout and would definitely play again and would recommend others to play.

Indian bayou

The bag person was extremely nice. Can’t say the same for the counter guy or the starter. The grill person was very friendly and the chicken salad sandwich was very good. By hole 4 we caught a member foursome that was extremely slow and they wouldn’t let us play through. They stopped at the turn so I was to get around but received ugly looks when they got to the tee seeing I was jumping them . The ground is very hard everywhere. Every lie was a tight lie. The cart girl was friendly and made a good Bloody Mary. I paid $94 for the round on a “hot deal”. Every course in the area that costs that much is way nicer. I would only go back if it was in the thirty dollar range. The club cleaner was very friendly.
