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.

nice

Bay Hills is a nice course. Not high end, but worth what we paid. Fairly short course. Many trees. Many tee shots down hill, so in a way, made the course a little shorter yet. Fairways had some bald spots. Greens were ok. Really not a course for a low handicapper, but for the average player it's a nice course.

Phones not answered to book tee time. Golf now collects fee-NO TEE TIME BOOKED :(

Phones not answered to book tee time. Pro shop forwards to Golf now anyway. I booked, i paid and confirmation, they collects fee. Got to the course and NO TEE TIME BOOKED :( Nobody cares, no refund for fee and nobody at Golf now to speak to. And cart path only holes 10-13. Too slow.

Better Shape than it gets credit for

The course itself was in better shape than others generally give it credit for. Here in Annapolis, we have not had much rain in August and the fairways were firm and fast. They have done a nice job on the greens, some of the tees (black) were rock hard, particularly on the back 9.

I had a tee time at 7:50am but some dudes wanted to play in a foursome with one of their guys who apparently was too lazy to book the tee time with the rest of his group. I generously agreed to go off as a single (it sucks), but the starter should never allow this to happen.

For the time of year course was in good shape. Holes 11, 12 and 13 were cart path only and didn’t look like they needed to be with the exception of 11.

Save the carts by fixing the the cart path.

The course and challenge of playing it was great all around. To avoid costly repairs of golf carts, the cart path does need work as it was pretty bad in a lot of areas.

Greens were very slow, fairways were in great shape. T boxes terrible. Staff needs to be a little friendlier.

Had Been a While

It had been a while since the last time I played Bay Hills.

I have always enjoyed the layout. I felt like the condition was a bit better then I remembered, especially on the front 9.

We did catch up to a 5some walking on 7, but they let us through at the turn.

All in all, it was a Nice return visit and we will be playing there more often again.

BAy Hills Maryland golf review

Course is ok. Fairways and greens are in great shape but cart paths, roughs and tee boxes are a mess. Also, they are incredibly understaffed. No starter, cart refreshment, or Marshall’s to keep pace of play under control. It’s kind of like playing out of a vending machine. Pretty much it runs like a self-service facility once you pay.

I play the course on Monday and Wednesday in a Mens league. It’s challenging and well kept. I would like to see the cart path only rule on holes 11-13 and during the winter. It really slows down play when it’s not necessary

Not Worth the Money

This course should be in the $25-$35 range, not $54.

The starter put the foursome scheduled behind us, in front of us simply because they were 'regulars'. They were awful and with no one in front of them, we had a 5.5 hour round as a result. Ranger came by on the back 9, but not to help with slow pace but yell at people to keep it cartpath only.

Tee boxes and fairways were ok, but the greens were horrendous. The first cup wasn't even set in all the way and some pin locations made me think it was Greenskeeper Revenge day. On top of that, the green speeds were all over the place, very frustrating to deal with.

As for the course design, most of the holes were pretty good but it was bizarre that there is only one par 5, three par 3s, and fourteen par 4s.
