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 and Great Service

Highly recommend. Very friendly staff and the on and off course amenities are very good. We would definitely come back. A little pricey, but still a good value given the location of the course.

One of my go to courses as a local.

Played in a foursome and finished in 3:15. Course is in great shape right now. Dry conditions have sped things up considerably. Greens are fast and true.

Roll Tide

Had the best time with my best friends. When they provided range balls its nice to have all the balls you want to hit. Nice putting facility. Service with golf cart was perfect putting my bag on cart that was brought to me in parking lot. See you next year.

This course was long but fair.

Paired up with three great guys one a local who made it easier for a first time player here. Course long for me at average 200 yards driving. But most holes still very playable and reachable. Water and sand hazards are there but not too much even for a Midwesterner like me. Greens fast. Fun challenging course. Will definitely play again.
