Bay Forest Golf Course

Great course would definitely recommend it to a friend

great course to play, everything works as it should.

form the staff at the counter to the starter at the first tee. the golf course is in excellent shape! and the other golfers on the course are a pleasure to play with.

Been playing here for years, got a golfnow deal I could not pass up, staff as always friendly & nice to see us return. Although the snack bar was busy, we were allowed to call in a lunch order for pick-up on the turn, great lunch! Beer cart made quick rounds & checked on us every time, so we did not starve or go thirsty!

greens are rolling good, fairways are well watered right now, bunkers had water but overall course was playable due to all the rain we are getting, thanks again BF!

Called ahead to see how the greens were and was told they were good but they were actually poor (w/ some weeds and lots of bumpiness. Love the layout but prob wouldn't play again til greens are improved!

I play here as much as possible. Quality of the course for what you pay is amazing. Have been playing here since the early 90's.

The greens are coming around, but are still a little less than 'true'. The layout always provides a different challenge. If it's too windy or dry, your ball will find water. Bring an extra sleeve--at least. On this day, it was waterlogged which made it play much longer than normal.

All that being said, at the end of this round, I signed up to keep my handicap at this course. While I like the course and the way it's well managed, I 'joined' there because of the other golfers I've met while walking on. The regulars take their golf seriously, but not too seriously--if you know what I mean...

I could feel Harvey Penick's spirit at this course and his most famous quote, "If you play golf, you are my friend."

One last tip...if you bring a banana to eat during the round, don't leave it in the cart on the first tee. There's a fat little banana stealing squirrel there and he'll have it peeled and gone!

Local course in good playing shape and at a fair price.

nice layout, weather kept the course from being in the best condition. pretty wet.

The course was not in good shape. Pictures are not accurate.

I like this course due to the water hazards being everywhere. Makes you work the bag, instead of just grabbing the next longest club. I've played it several times. This time I played, however, the greens weren't in the best of shape, some bare spots and they were sanded. Sand made the speed of each green different and unpredictable. Hopefully, it's just the growing pains as the course prepares for further in the season. On the other hand, the fairways were in great shape. Tee boxes were well mowed. Only complaint is the greens. Food was fantastic, and I was glad to see a beer cart out on the course.

I played my first round of golf at Bay Forest and have gone back because I enjoyed it. The course itself is in good shape and fun to play.

They do a great job maintaining course. Most greens on other courses are not so good but Bay Forest does a good job even in Fall season. I have grown attached to course because always meet friendly golfers. I love the fact they have a marshall on weekdays putting groups together.

Mizunoman Approved!

This is one of my favorite public courses in the area. It offers a challenge for the better golfers but is also not too difficult for someone who is average like myself and just looking to have a good time. The greens are in pretty good shape and the fairways are nice as well. Some other courses in the area have fairways that are like hitting off of dry, cracked mud so I appreciate that this course is in pretty good shape.

A little tough because it's a bit narrow in spots but a good challenging course. You have an extra par 5 and an almost drivable par 4.

Course was in decent condition for this time of year. Fairways were pretty hard, but that is normal for Houston in the wintertime.

Greens were decent and rolled ok. There were some greens with thin spots and a lot of greens had Poa in them.

Staff is friendly.

If you have not played the course, it has a lot of water to deal with but the landing areas are fairly generous.

Good Course with interesting layout and very good greens, Has 5 Par 5s and 5 par 3s. A bit of a drive from western side of town but worth a return visit in the spring and summer.

The greens were pretty good with speed but some greens had nut grass on them.

One of the best values in the Houston area, this course has all the water that you can stand.
The greens can really get rolling, although they are a bit hard.
The staff is friendly enough, and the cart attendant is usually on duty through the week.
This course has a few short par 5's so you can make up some ground on your buddies if you have to press.
Number 9 is a short par four. It is as narrow as a hallway, lined with trees.

Have played this course more than a couple hundred times probably. Love this course. It never disappoints. Greens in excellent shape. Fairways a bit bumpy but they are working on that. Water on 15 of the 18 holes ensure you don't get too confident. If it becomes too easy from the whites, move back to the blues... One of the best courses in Houston area for the money.

Overall great course to play plenty of par5s and hole 5 and 16 are exceptional. Nice greens too
