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.

Too expensive for the course

I can play other just as nice or nicer courses in the Miramar Beach and Destin area for less money.

Great Course

I had an amazing experience at Indian Bayou Golf Club! From start to finish, the service was top-notch, and the course was in pristine condition. The fairways were lush, the greens were fast and true, and the layout offered a perfect balance of challenge and enjoyment for all skill levels. The staff was friendly and welcoming, and the pace of play was excellent. Whether you’re a seasoned golfer or just starting out, Indian Bayou provides a memorable experience. Highly recommend it for anyone looking to play in the area!
