Bayou Golf Course

Booked this course as it was the best deal in the area at the time and I was playing with a new golfer. We get to the course around 25 mins before our tee time to discover that they aren't selling drinks of ANY KIND. In the middle of a record-hot summer in Texas. So I had to leave the course to go buy water and Gatorade at a gas station. Made it back just in time for tee off, and we struggled finding the first tee. This was my 3rd time playing here, but it's been several years since my last visit. There is absolutely no signage of any kind showing you were to go. We encountered another golfer who was also trying to find the first tee.

Once we teed off, things went smoothly for about 2 holes. We then had to let 3 SINGLE GOLFERS IN A ROW play through our threesome. 3 in a row! Why was this allowed in the first place? What kind of course allows that many singles to go ahead when they know there are multiple groups ahead of them?

Course quality is ok for the price, but a few holes are laughably bad. GIANT mud pits in the middle of fairways. I mean huge. The greens were all ok.

Overall, I definitely understand why it's so cheap to play Bayou. I hope they can turn things around soon.

Greens were good. Fairways were mediocre at best. Allot of dried mud. But for the price. Can't beat it.

Bayou is a decent place to play for the price. Lots of grassless dead patches where there should be fairways, but the greens are in good shape. I appreciate that they put the money into the renovations a few years back. It’s a fun little track, but could really benefit from having a nice cafe/snack bar and other amenities. I’m guessing they just don’t get enough traffic to justify it. The only problem I’ve had is booking early morning tee times and the pro shop attendant shows up late on a daily basis, which doesn’t give you time to hit the driving range, and barely allows you to get a cart key before you’re supposed to be teeing off.

It’s not a great course, but it is the cheapest around. Just wish they would give notice somehow about not having food or drinks for sale.

I recently played at Bayou Golf Club and had a mixed experience. The front 9 fairways left much to be desired – they were quite rough with a lot of dirt areas, which affected my shots and overall enjoyment. However, I was pleasantly surprised by the front 9 greens, which were in amazing condition, providing a satisfying putting experience.

The back 9 at Bayou Golf Club was a different story. The fairways were noticeably better maintained, offering a smoother and more enjoyable round of golf. Just like the front 9, the back 9 greens were also impressive, with a consistent and true roll that made putting a pleasure.

Despite the inconsistent quality of the fairways, the outstanding greens on both sides of the course definitely stood out. If the front 9 fairways could match the standard of the back 9, Bayou Golf Club would be a top-notch destination for golfers of all levels.

Fairways for 3 holes are always a work in progress due to nearby gulf. However the course is always in good shape. Definitely worth the cost.

Staff is the best!

Everything was great!

Whoever placed the cups that day is pure evil!

Keep up the good work!

Have played here many times & this is the worst I’ve seen it. Front 9 fairways had little grass, back was better. All greens were lumpy & slow. No food or drink available & water on course was brown & tasted bad. We won’t be back anytime soon & don’t recommend it at any price.

Play the back 9 twice , front 9 pointless because of damaged fairways. Back 9 in great shape currently, greens were nice. Great value for 20 bucks !

The restaurant and grill was closed. So you had to bring your own food and drinks. Which wouldn’t be an issue except the fact that we didn’t know about this till we got to the course and read the note on the entrance door. At the least have a cooler with water and ice available in the club house with it being in the mid 90’s. The course looks a lot better than it did the last time I played there.

Tee box - fine, but hard

Fairways - dried out but got extra roll

Bunkers - some not great

Greens - way better than expected

Paid $24 and had my kids with me. We were the only people out there so tons of time to run around and take our time.

It’s also quite windy there so the heat want too bad.

Good round of golf for 9 holes until rain & thunder arrived.

I’m not sure why people hate on this course so much. Is it the best? NO. It it worth a hot deal, absolutely! It’s a decent spot. Its also byob at the moment.

It’s a good course to go enjoy a stress free round at a decent course. The rough patched in the fairway on the front 9 are there due to the ocean ride rising at times, and they are in places where you shouldn’t hit your ball.
