Great shape

Indian Bayou was in as good a condition as any course we have played down here! Great staff and pace of play was good. We hadn’t played here for a couple of years so it was on the list to get back to. The price is a little high for the area but the condition is a plus.

Average for the area.

Greens were fast and putted well. Nothing too special about it, more of a local vibe than resort. I thought it a bit pricey at $90+ but overall worthwhile to play..
