Bay Point Resort - Nicklaus Course

Great course, staff was excellent. The pace of play was very good and met some very great people. Over all great experience.

Disappointed to say the least. Was told by the starter that there would be no beverage cart because it broke down and if we wanted anything we would have to go back to the clubhouse and get it. We went back and got what we needed and then after playing a couple of holes the beverage cart shows up..Only 1 restroom halfway through the course and the starter informed us that you couldn’t stop afterward 9 holes that there was no turn around. We wanted to take a short break after 9 holes and wasn’t able to do that. I just feel for $130.00 the amenities were lacking.

Our foursome had a very nice afternoon of golf at the Bay Point Nicklaus Golf Course. We all are super seniors over 70 years of age. The course was tough,4 even from the forward tees, but it was most enjoyable. The fairways are generous and the greens are large and undulating. The large bunkers, both fairway and green present a challenge. Best advice, plan out each shot and do not try to overpower the course. Do that and you will enjoy a nice round of golf.

The course was in pretty good shape. It’s a bit odd set up where you don’t return to the clubhouse at the turn. Pace was pretty good until the last three holes. We ran into a group of 4 guys that played extremely slow. Because there wasn’t a lot people golfing, they had sent the starter/ranger home so there was no one to monitor the slow play.

I had a chance to play Bay Point. The course was in good condition overall. My only complaint was that the greens were very slow.

Everything was going great in to the front nine.

Met up with the Marshall and he informed us that as a twosome the course was wide open ahead of the foursome we were following.

Said we could jump ahead.

What did we find, not one but two fivesomes ahead!!

I have never ran into this before on any golf course I have played.

We didn't even get to finish our round.

HOW IGNORANT TO THE GOLFERS BEHIND THEM.

THIS SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED

Trop cher pour la qualité de terrain et l’environnement d’accueil. Le layout est très beau mais les verts sont beaucoup trop lent.

They need a Marshall on the course to fix the pace of play. Very slow!!

My only issue is with GolfNow itself they sent me 44 reminders all at the same time 1:28 pm today central time the course is fine but I don’t need to be harassed by a reminder

We’ve played Baypoint many times. Love the layout. Course was in typical post seeding November condition. Greens and tee blocks are thick with new seedlings. As a result, the greens were very slow. Pace of play was painfully slow - but it was a Saturday.

My only complaint is with Golfnow selling 1251pm as their Hotdeal time given a Panama City Beach sunset of 449pm. Allowing only 4 hours of daylight to complete a public course round (especially on a weekend) is simply not fair. We played (as a joke) the last 4 holes in the dark - with 17 and 18 in complete darkness.

Come on Golfnow - can’t you get a time closer to noon? You do it for Legacy (another PCB course) so why not Baypoint?

I could not have asked for a better experience. It was a beautiful fall day, the fairways and greens were in excellent shape. I teed off ai 1pm and basically had the course to myself. Lots of water and sand so have extra balls.

The course is in fairly good shape but it is well taken care of. Just not worth the cost because I have played some municipal courses that are in better shape for better cost but it is convenient to the Marriott vacation club.

A Jack course always plays like a Jack course, no matter where you are at in the country. Beautiful layout, bunkers in pristine conditions. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience
