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.

Great little course for a quick 9 holes.

Great playable little course with friendly staff. Hole 3 is the only tough hole. Hitting across water on your second shot to a tiny green that is pitched towards the water. Try and hit past the pin or ball will roll into the water. Forget using a backspin.

Needs a lot of work done

No point in tee times when every time I go, I have to wait 40 mins to play. GREENS ARE GOD AWFUL!!!!! You cant putt at all cause of how awful it’s kept. Nice staff just they need to focus on taking care of the course more often. I would recommend it for beginners but once you try nicer courses you would not want to go back to briar ever again.
