Tight pin locations

The course was in fairly good condition but the tee boxes were a little beat up. The ball would not check on the greens at all so I had to adjust to the ball rolling out on anything but full short to mid iron shots. I really liked the layout of the back nine, especially the short par 4’s.

Good course, first time I played the course and enjoyed my 18 holes. Fairway turf is coming out extremely well which allows for good lies. Staff was extra friendly which was comfortable. I would play it again and recommend it to others.

Good not Great

The course was a nice mix of straight away holes and doglegs. Greens and tees were in good shape, fairways were a little rougher. Overall I thought the price was a little high, for about the same money I played courses in nicer shape.

Pond Work

Tee boxes, greens and Fairways were above average. However, all the work being done on the ponds was distracting. Charging too much h for current conditions.

PACE: "Thank you" to the starter that realized he had a 2some and 2 singles in a 4some, saw plenty of space on the tee sheet, and sent the 2some out and then the 2 singles out together after that. Pace moved much better than a 4some. Much appreciated!

CONDITIONS: Fairways and rough were still dormant, but the greens, tee boxes and bunkers were excellent. Actually, I played 5 courses in Destin during my visit and Indian Bayou had the best greens, by far.

VALUE: Feels like it's priced a little high compared to other courses in the area, but that's probably why their greens were so good.
