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.

It is what it is.

I understand it’s a very cheap public 9 hole course so I don’t expect much and honestly I have a decent time when I play here. Fun little course.

But my last round was pretty bad. People were jumping around to different holes and 9 holes took me 2+ hours. Green were worse than normal with deep holes and roots that throw your putt off line pretty severely. Try and show the greens some love and maybe have a ranger ride around to make sure pace is decent and then everything will be better.

Terrible condition

The tee boxes are mostly sand and Bermuda roots.

The fairways are in god condition.

The greens are horrific. Basically a Warzone and impossible to put on. You have mini sand traps. Chunks of grass missing, uneven cut grass and bumps all over.

Stay the same away from this place

I’ve played this course since i was 3 years old and its always been kinda decent. But over the years I’ve seen a complete decline in conditions. Played today after not playing here for a year or so and i wont ever be coming back, tee boxes are nonexistent might as well be teeing up on the surface of mars, fairways? What fairways? I know nothing about maintaining a course but i honestly think id be able to do a better job if i gave it even the slightest thought. Just complete lack of maintenance. And to think you can go to west palm and pay 15 dollars more and play a course that rivals even the nicest Miami courses. The county needs to do something.

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.
