Bay Point Resort - Nicklaus Course

The course was in good shape. The greens had just been punched and were covered in sand. Do yourself a favor and go somewhere else like Windswept or to Destin for the next few weeks while the greens heal. Overpriced and not fun in their current condition.

Staff was great. Course was CPO on 1st 3 holes and last 3 holes. No big deal if keep ball in fairway. We played in wind gust upto 40mph and it was challenging to say the least. PCB got hit with a ton of rain that morning and the day before, so I could not believe how well the course drained. You don’t want to miss the opportunity to play this course!

From the parking lot attendant, desk staff, and rangers the course was AMAZING! Took my nephews for a round and we were very impressed with the conditions, layout, & pace of play! This will definitely not be our last trip!

I don't think I would play there again if I did t have 4. My son and a buddy had a 4th drop out and they paired us up with a nice kid but couldn't break 200. Miserable for the money we spent. Nice place but have a foursome.

Course was in great shape. Tees, fairways, and greens.

Course layout is great but needs attention to greens

Greens had been recently sanded but were better than expected

Was very disappointed at how poorly the greens putted. Been playing here for years, guess the drought has had an impact, but they were very slow and very bumpy

Course had just been airiated and sanded, not bad , enjoyed the course,

Traveling back north to Ohio from Florida, had to stop in Panama City Beach, this course is at the top of my list

This was my mine and my 16 y/o sons first time playing this course. $165 for 2 people riding 18 seemed quite expensive for a round of golf, but we had never played it and what's vacation for if you don't splurge, right? We quickly realized why it cost what it did!! Going through a security gate was our first impression, actually had to ask the guard if we were in the right place. After a friendly conversation, we were assured we, in fact, were in the right place. The clubhouse was your typical clubhouse with super friendly staff who answered all our questions and needs. We arrived early so we grabbed lunch from the bar. Shrimp tacos were so delicious, sweet tea was perfect and the bar tender was awesome! After we ate it was time to grab the cart and check in, again we were early so we hit up the range for FREE! All the balls you wanted to hit, at no extra cost. After a nice warmup it was time to golf. The staff did inform us, PLENTY of water and PLENTY of houses throughout this course, which made it extremely tough to navigate. We played the #3 tees which were not the easiest nor the hardest, but man what a challenge! The layout was absolutely gorgeous, a plethora of sand, water, trees and houses along with roads everywhere! The course was designed by the GREAT, Jack Nicklaus himself!! By the 4th hole my son was ready to quit golf forever but I talked him into sticking it out. There was a beverage cart which provided whatever we wanted, which, for us, was simply Gatorade and ice to restock our cooler. She was extremely friendly as well. We ended up catching the group in front of us, who had never played the course either, they offered to let us play through, which we kindly declined because there was another group in front of them and we were in no big hurry. The entire course was so beautifully put together and laid out. If you're looking for a great round of golf and want a challenge, Bay Point is DEFINITELY the course you need to play. We will be back again and again for sure. Thank you for such a pleasant experience for my son and I!!

Our group played this morning without knowing thar the greens had been created and sanded. They were not even close to smooth. They also had clumps od dirt and grass in places.

The whole place is in great condition. Everybody was super friendly and we played in under 4 hours.
