Bay Point Resort - Nicklaus Course

This is an excellent course and top notch staff. My wife and I play here once a year when we are on vacation and absolutely love this place.

Clubhouse never mentioned temporary greens being used for the week. Would have been important to know when booking. Also, range was closed. Man at counter said the reason was because it had rained that night. Course didn’t seem wet and range was open to instructors giving lessons. Not a pleasant outing. Ask questions before paying.

No greens. Very disappointed. Was told at tee box. The rest of course was in great condition with all the rain.

Very good course. Unfortunately, we were on temporary greens. Other than that the course was great and I would recommend it to anyone playing golf in the area. The average golfer can have a great round from the 2 or 3 tees. The tips look to be really tough. Awesome course.

Booked this course at full price just to find out when we got here that they were only playing temporary greens. No discount and no advance warning when the tee time was booked

The management/staff needs to wake up. This is America and you cannot treat people this way and expect to stay open. We played 5 holes and were rained out. The lady at the counter was rude. She said you paid through golf now, take it up with them.

No notice about the temporary greens and rude staff.. didnt care about our future business . Find another place to play. Read the reviews befotre you book. Gokfnow, when the top 20 reviews are 1 star, why 4 stars????

Do not play with temporary greens. Takes the effect off the course

My only issue was not knowing of the provisional greens at the time I made the reservation I was only informed when I got there. The price is acceptable for the course in good standing but unnacceptable for the provisional greens.

My fault I didn’t pay attention when booking it had temporary tees. Every hole was a circle mowed in the fairway. Took putting away from the experience of golfing in Fla on vacation. I’ll pay better attention next time. Also a homeowner chased down one of the guys in the foursome who was placed with us , for hitting his fence with an errant ball and demanded $30. Solid jerk. Lives on a golf course beside a tee box. What’s he expect? Geez!

Would not have played had we known had temp greens

Make sure you call ahead to see if any surprises are in store. When I arrived I had an excellent Reuben at the bar while waiting for my partner. While eating I asked the cart guy how the course was playing and was told then that the course was all temporary greens. Overall the front nine is in poor shape and temp greens are a joke. The back nine is in pretty good shape as far as the tee boxes and fairways are concerned but once again the temp greens are an absolute joke. Also if you play in the afternoon make sure that you have everything you need, (beer, water, food, etc.) the pro shop and bar close at 4. If the course was in good shape I would say $95 a round is good but as the course sits now $95 is absurd.

TEMPORARY GREENS!!! That is how it should have been listed in the course description but in stead it was hidden in the small print. Total waste of time and money ($60.00) Should be ready for play in 2024 but not sooner.

Played during vacation with the temporary greens. If you go in knowing the course conditions, it still can be a fun and challenging course. Not very busy at all, threesome played in just under 3 hours. Every staff member we met were friendly and courteous. Will definitely play again when we're back in the area.

The staff at this course has communicated that there are temporary greens in nearly every way that they can. If you are not aware of this before you play, that’s your fault, you are not paying attention.

With that out of the way, the course is a great layout, a couple of brutal holes, but a lot of fun. The staff was outstanding at every turn and went above and beyond to accommodate us.

Yes, the temporary greens are not ideal. But when this course comes back, it will be a blast. In the meantime, play it anyway, and work on that long game. Have a chat with the cart girl, who is incredible.

Let me start by saying everyone in the club house to the starter was wonderful. That said, we all should have been notified of the make shift greens. You should be embarrassed to allow us to not only play, but charge that price of the green fee. But to make this probably the worst golf experience I’ve ever had, was the pace of play. There were 6, yes 6 groups back behind a foursome on the back nine, and not only did the lovely cigar smoking ranger not do anything about the situation, he chose to harass a couple of teenagers instead of doing his job. Embarrassing.

Shame on you Baypoint golf course management.

Why? The course was advertised for $75 around with no indication whatsoever that all of the greens were under repair and that temporary greens were set up in the fairway with coffee cans sized flag holes. You were essentially putting on the fairway in front of each green. To pay full price at a weekend rate and have those conditions and not be told ahead of time until you’re reaching the starter at the first hole… And he casually says “did anyone tell you that we don’t have access to the greens when you paid at the counter?”

Don’t get me wrong, if the greens were in playable shape this is a beautiful, challenging course and well-maintained. It just didn’t sit well with me as a patron to not be told on the website when signing up for a teatime the greens are under repair. There are lots of golf courses to play along the panhandle coast. We chose this one and we’re disappointed in the staff and management for their poor customer service.

If you haven’t heard, Nicklaus currently has temporary greens. I saw it noted by GolfNow when booking and saw the big red sign on the counter at check in. It’s also noted in every comment for the last 2 months. Unfortunately it’s a process the course has to go thru to get it back to playing shape but I’m confident they will get there. Overall this is still the best course in Bay County. I paid $60 for a mid-day weekend round which I thought was reasonable given this course is normally $120ish. If you pay attention and realize they have temporary greens, then it is what it is. Just move back a tee box and take the two putt. It sounds like the greens will reopen towards the end of the summer so I look forward to playing here again.

Only thing I have to say is that I wish it was mentioned that we'd be playing on temporary greens when we booked the tee time.

This course was open without the actual greens open. They had “temporary greens” cut in the fairway. The staff was nice but this was horrible. No way we should have had to pay $60 to play here. Very disappointing!
