Great experience.

We played first round at Seascape (9 holes), it was an ok course. Second round was at Hulburt Field (Gator Lakes) and it was a good course. 3rd round we played at Indian Bayou, it was a fantastic course with beautiful fairways and greens. Staff was very courteous. We will definitely be back!

Great play

Greens were punched this week but I think they lowered green fees??? This place does the best they can to make sure the course is in the best shape possible. Very friendly staff. Fairways were great. Aerated greens will make it better in the future. Pass up those uber expensive places and play here.

Great Destin Golf Course

Indian Bayou has a challenging layout but not to the point of intimidating the occasional golfer. Great driving range and friendly staff.

Nice Destin FL Golf Course

We played on a Monday in early May and the conditions were great. The course was well maintained and the staff were wonderful. There was even a beverage cart on the course.

Destin’s best kept secret

Indian Bayou Golf Course doesn’t advertise as much as other destin area courses but Indian Bayou is ABSOLUTELY the nicest in Destin. The course (tees, fairways, greens) is ALWAYS beautifully maintained. Don’t miss the chance to play the locals favorite course.

Great Course for all Golfers

Play this course with three other gentlemen for the first time. We were amazed at the layout of the course while challenging was definitely playable. The greens and all of the fairways were an excellent condition and the staff throughout the pro shop the starters in the beverage cart were all simply amazing. Would definitely recommend this course to anyone looking to play a great course at with championship type layout again for all golfing levels.

Best Time

Best Course I have played in the area. The course was really nice and the best part was that the staff was super chill and it can be hard to find both of those at any course. Everything was just right. If you are looking to have a fun and laid back time playing golf with some buddies, this is your place.

Typical Florida golf course

First time playing in this course. We played over Easter weekend so we expected the course will be busy with golfers. Surprisingly, the golf course was wide open with no one in front of our family. Staffs at the back drop were very friendly. The person at the club house for check in told us that we can start playing early if we want since the course is wide open. Course is typical Florida golf course yiu can imagine as flat fairways from start to finish with many bunkers and waters. Conditions were not perfect but okay.

Green condition is a bit slow side. I expected great scenery since this is located in the center of Destine but unfortunately all courses were surrounded by houses and no ocean view or some nice memorable scenery. But we enjoyed our family vacation in this golf course.
