My Honest Opinion!

I love Bay Hills. It is beautiful and challenging but not so hard that you can't have a good time. My ONLY complaint are the CART PATHS...They are horrible and have been for years. Still do not understand why the management doesn't start the work on a few of the paths and do a few every few months so in a year or two we could all ride along without losing our teeth!!! Other than that the course has scenic beauty 2nd to none and plays well. We live close by so we play the course a lot. How 'bout starting a go fund me page to finance new cart paths!!! Or collect an extra $5 bucks from everyone who plays and put it towards new cart paths...The course would be in the top ten in MD if people felt they could play it without developing a kidney problem from being joust around on the current cart paths! :) Just say'n...

Getting Better

I have played Bay Hills a few times each year for perhaps the last 10 or 12 years. In that time the course has steadily improved. for example, several years ago there were weeds growing in the bunkers. Now the bunkers are maintained but are not yet raked daily. Of course, at this time of year some areas of fairway are dry. The rough is pretty rough in the sense that it includes a lot of weeds growing near the fairway and that sort of thing. But, the trajectory is positive. Greens at Bay Hills have always been pretty good and are keeping up. if it were my course, i would charge a bit more for a round and put that money into more grooming.

Ouch

Tee boxes are suffering pretty hard. Fairways and greens are decent to stellar. Course is overall very firm. Not my go-it, definitely feels overpriced for current conditions. Has drastically gotten worse since last season (previous visit). Surprised 13 is a Par 3 "temporarily", have seen other courses just mark areas as no play zones/GUR while replacing sod. If they could put the money they put into their strong but slow greens into the rest of the facility, could be a great course....but alas.

A nice course

Overall it was a fun course to play, most of their fairways were in amaxung condition especially considering the heat of this summer. The fairways were honestly my favorite part. One downside of the course in my opinion is that almost all of their par 4's were extremely repetitive, a little over 300 yards each and very straight. It felt like I was playing the same hole over and over. Good for a low score but not that exciting. The course was overall pretty short, good for a low score but didn't take much time at all to play. I enjoyed the course a lot and will go back, friendly staff and a fun place to play!

Greens are in great shape

Greens are great! Most fairways are in really good shape except a couple on the back nine which have always had issues . The rough is spotty. Good little tight course.

Course in good shape

The course is in as good or better shape then I have seen it. They need better communication as although the carts had signs that said no carts on the 11,12 and 13th holes which we followed, the Marshall was yelling at us on the 17th hole that the entire course was cRt path only and that we should have seen a small sign at check in. What does he think the starter is supppse to do?

Bay Hills

Course is in very good condition. The greens are in great condition. Some of the fairways the grass gets a little thin but there's always grass to hit off of. I got a great deal through GolfNow and was able to play 18 holes for $24.

Fairways & tee boxes need attention

Played at 9:20am and came off the course around 2:30 pm. The two-some in front and the three some behind us tried to pull a fast one saying that they were told to play together and attempted to jump ahead of us at the first tee. Spoke to the starter, (who had not told them to join, but then allowed them to play as five), but were now put behind us. We were a 2-some, playing behind a 4-some.

Course was very slow at first. Finished the front 9 just over 2 hrs. The back 9 took 3 hrs! The forward tee boxes and some of the fairways have llittle grass, but the greens were in nice condition and rolled true.

one of my worst golf experiences

I booked an 11:50 tee time through golf now, my group was pushed back until 12:10 because they were overbooked. The course was very dry and in poor condition and the round took 6.5 hours because of how many people they allowed on the course. There was never an apology for delayed tee time, slow pace of play or the course conditions. I will never play this course again

Fun Layout With Serious Pace of Play Issues

I’ve played this course numerous times as it is 5 minutes from my house. It’s a fun layout with some interesting holes. It also has no place to warm up other than a putting green so keep that in mind. The course has been in pretty good shape this year with the exception of the bunkers. For the most part they are full of dirt and not sand, and it’s packed down pretty firm so you have to try to pick to ball clean.

Pace of play here is awful. Unless you are one of the first groups out, expect 5+ hours on the weekend. The staff makes no effort t encourage people to play quickly at the start of a round and you’ll never see a Marshall during your round to try to get the slow groups moving. Holes 11, 12, and 13 are all cart path only at all times so those holes play even slower.

If there were any other options with 20 minutes I’d probably never go back.
