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.

Shirt and fair

Nice little track greens were in excellent condition. Not alot of difficulty playing the track not much to derail the game as far as fairway bunkers. Designed for fast play which it delivers in spades. Bit pricey co sidering some of the other top end courses in the area.

This course is over booked and charges too much for its conditions and layout. Not a good value for the money.

Great experience, was met in the parking by a staff member who delivered a cart to us before we ever got out of the car. Then met us in the parking lot again and returned the cart after our round ended. From the cart guys, to the desk person to the Marshall, all excellent!
