Course Highlights
The course layout earns consistent praise for its elevation changes, water hazards, and well-conditioned fairways and greens. Friendly pro-shop staff and food that outshines most courses add to the overall appeal.

Better Shape than Ever

There has been a lot of work put into this course. The fairways and greens are in the best shape I’ve ever seen them in. If only we can get people to fix their divots and pitch marks 🙁🤞

I’m a ‘play and leave’ guy, so I can’t speak to the off-course amenities.

A local coarse

This is not a long coarse but the hills and texture create a good challenge. There is nothing here but the coarse and golf shop. So no 19th hole. But it is cheap. The golf carts are very cheap. There is new management

Course is in great shape

As I’ve said in other reviews of Bay Hills, the course has come a long way and continues to be in the best shape I’ve seen it in (moved to the area 2.5 years ago).

As far as the off-course amenities, I’m neutral because I’m a “play and leave” kinda guy. My rating does not reflect the actual amenities.

Pace of play

My only concern w/ Bay Hills is the pace of play. It is a good chance when you play the pace of play will be very slow. This tends to take some of the enjoyment out of that round. The course, especially on busier days, should have a Marshall on the corse who might be able to help move things along. Otherwise the course is in very good shape and the staff is very friendly & professional.

Course Review

Overall, the staff is very friendly and the course has kept well. For those high handicap golfer, it would be a good course to play to practice; for those low handicapper, the course may be too short for you. The course design and pin position are well planned out.

Much improved

I have played this course weekly over the last two years. They purchased new carts, continue to repair the tee boxes and remove damaged trees. It’s challenging and a fun place to play.

New Management!

This course being under new management brings hope. So far the cart paths have be paved in areas that needed it. Bunker work is next from what I’m hearing. And for the first time in 3 years of playing this course, a beverage cart was out.

Average round

Price was very inexpensive for 18 with a cart. Greens were in tough shape with some ball marks, but fairways were in decent shape. Pace of play pretty slow finished the round in about 4 hr 40 min on a Saturday.

Great Shape, Fun Round

To be honest, I’ve played this course in the past when it wasn’t in the best shape. Not anymore, the course yesterday was in fantastic shape! The fairways, the tee boxes, and the greens are all in great shape right now. If we can only get people to fix pitch marks and fill in their divots, it will be even better for all.

I’m impressed with the improvements and I’m looking forward to playing at Bay Hills again soon.

Excellent weekday round!

I enjoyed my Tuesday morning round and recommend Bay Hills to anyone.

The greens are very nice (though a touch slow). Fairways are good, tees are decent too.

The staff is very friendly.

Since management changed a while back, things are looking better here!

Course in pretty good shape

Played here earlier this year in the off season, definitely much improved conditions. Our only issue experienced was with a very impatient group behind us hit into our group 3x. We ended up getting in a heated exchange, keep in mind it's a very busy Saturday afternoon. We were maybe 5 minutes behind pace of group in front, often had to wait ourselves to shoot but the group behind was extremely impatient and dangerous. They continued to curse and complain loudly everytime they had to wait on any tee box (again, BUSY SATURDAY, God forbid you wait 3 minutes to tee off!) Would've complained if we saw the ranger. I know bad groups aren't the courses fault but would've liked to see the ranger out once as we would've said something about the group behind. Cart guy was very friendly though and all the other staff interactions were pleasant.

Course Condition

Condition and maintenance have improved since last year. Fairways are still very firm but nos. 11, 12 and 13 are much improved. Bunkers are improved and can be played from but there"s still room for improvement (expensive and time consuming I know). I'll continue to play at Bay Hills.
