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.

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..

Nice Course in Great Location

I've played Indian Bayou several times over the years, I like that they provide range balls for free so you can warm up before the round. The course is in a convenient location not far off of US 98. Its a good course for my skill level which I would say is intermediate. There are quite a few sand traps, and the greens are pretty fast compared to what I am used to.

Great Choice

This course was in very good shape considering the time of the year (early January). The green conditions and speed were the best in the area. The only criticism I have is the lack of golf balls at the range.
