Briar Bay Golf Course, opened in 1975, is an affordably priced executive course that stretches out over 30 acres. The course presents challenges for all players, beginning to advanced. The layout features elevated greens that are small and fast, narrow fairways that are protected with bunkers. Water hazards also come into play on a few holes. Although it is located near a residential area the course promises an interesting layout that goes in every direction. Briar Bay Golf Course facility lacks some of the amenities of a private club, but they do boast a practice green and a clubhouse.

Better options elsewhere

Course condition was terrible. Greens were half sand have weeds. Tee boxes were basically just dirt. Fairways weren’t terrible but might as well go to another course for the same cost. Around $40 for 9 holes at 5 PM. Not worth it in my opinion.

For the price I guess it's OK. Small 9 hole course, mainly par 3.
