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 Course a little pricey

Always love playing this course, but for a mid week round with clearly not many people playing, the price is the same as a peak season premium.

I don’t usually do reviews but I am this time. Very nice course. I’ve been playing this game since I was 7 years old. Grew up on country clubs. The pro shop is a place of customer service. Two gentleman in there should probably learn that. Awful customer service. For 40 bucks more go play Regetta or Kelly to get a friendly service experience when you are down there for vacation. The persona of that you are better than somebody doesn’t really work.

Cheers!

Very nice course.

Friendly staff. Nice grill with greatstaff. Course in very good shape. Only issue was several greens were sanded and rate could have been reduced to compensate..

Great course!

This place is a first class establishment. Always friendly people working the pro shop and clubhouse. Course is well manicured and the food in the clubhouse is banging. Range has a secluded woodsy feel, similar to a lot of the holes which makes you feel alone out there. The course is one of my favorites in the areas, if I had one crtique would be I've seen the greens rolling better.

Wow only a Wow!

This was the best course I've played next to El Capion in Kissimmee this year. Beautiful layout, very well manicured greens, quick but not stupid fast. Fairways just super green and NO bad lies. Make this one A go to course after playing other places and you will see what A means.
