Bay Hills Golf Club

The course layout is ok and the course conditions were ok. I was a member here in the past so I knew what to expect as far as course. The staff on the other hand. No ranger enforcing the rate of play, it took us almost 5 hours to finish our round. The beer cart quit after 12:30! When I asked the bartender inside why the beer cart wasn't seen for the whole day she got an attitude and said it was too slow. For it being the first sunday of NFL season it was not that slow, there was probably at least a group on each hole. As far as I am concerned if I'm paying $50 a round that cart should be on the course even if I'm the only one there.

Bay Hills is an enjoyable course to play. Lots of hills and some water provide a challenge for most of us.

Decent pace of play despite being fairly crowded.

This course measures only 6400yards from the tees and boasts different tee boxes. But the distances are only 5yards in front of the next tee box, so much for variety. This course is an awkward one, landing areas for a drive are usually a hazard or rough. Laying up with an iron leaves you a long iron in as well. Unless you can bomb a drive, don't even bother bringing your driver. A lot of locals and members play here, as a first timer, didn't feel so welcomed by them, an outsider and why was I here playing at "their course". For the price, it wasn't worth the drive or the money, I can find a better deal closer to home with a better layout.

The staff didn't seem to friendly to "out of towners". We had a walk on join us and it was a beautiful course. Pace was slowed on the back nine.

The heat index was over 100. The course staff reminded to drink water, which was readily availabile, and use the shade, also available. I have now played this course a half dozen times and I find it antagoningly delightful. Well placed shots are rewarded and loose ones oftentimes led to disaster. I feel challenged and will be back.

First time playing there. Staff was very friendly and accommodating. They did manage to upsell me on their additional rounds offer. I figured it was worth the price if I play 2-3 times more. Played with a very nice older gentleman who made the experience enjoyable. We both hit some good and bad shots; but enjoyed the round. Course is challenging, but fair.

Overall the course was in great shape, minus the cart paths. Only one Par 5 though so not many opportunities to make up strokes. Staff were very nice and accommodating.

Great day of golf. A bit of rain on the back 9 Course conditions were excellent

could not get used to the fast greens. Like glass.

Upon arriving we were pleased with how friendly the staff was and they quickly got us set up and ready to go. All just so we could wait. The course was horribly overbooked and we had 3 foursomes waiting on the same tee box. Whenever a course is that greedy and I have to wait that long I will not go back. It was a 5 1/2 hour round of golf.

We teed off early but followed an extremely slow foursome for nine holes. The layout with marked elevation changes was enjoyable. The rough was 6 inches with wet grass, ugh. Greens were well kept and some were impossible if you weren't on the proper level; slow but fair.

Nice neighborhood course. Very open layout. Not much elevation. Nothing really technical here.Fairways were in good shape. Greens were in good shape.Staff was friendly and helpful. Cart path needs some help. They are spending $ on some holes and it shows. I had a 4 o'clock tee and ended up in the middle of a tournament. It worked out fine, played the back nine first which locals seem to prefer. Pace of play was fine. One foursome in front was slow. But seem to pick up the pace when they saw us. I played the first nine with a neighborhood local. And the second nine with two younger guys in town for the Preakness. 3.5 hours for 18. Usually how I roll. Would go back. I only really do HDeals on GN because I play 3-5 times weekly. Got it for 14$.

We booked the starting tee time at 2:36, however they failed to mention that there was a tournament going on. Everything went great up until the 7th hole, where a huge back up started. On the back 9 there was huge congestion with people hitting literally on top of us. When we confronted them, they only got mad and said they were in a tournament and that we were the ones who were in the wrong. When we asked the starter about this, they tried 2 squeeze us in between 2 groups playing in the tournament, only to have a 4 sum breathing down our neck clearly upset that we had been put in between them and the next group. Very poorly managed, don't try to penny pinch a extra group during a tournament.

Course is in good shape considering the time of year. Like the layout of holes. White tees provide a decent length course for when your not looking for a big challenge or when course and/or weather will make it play long. Gold tees good for when it is warmer & dryer and course plays shorter.

The course was in good condition given how dry it has been in the area the last few weeks. A few minor brown patches in a handful of fairways, but overall nice condition. The front 9 had been aerated the weekend prior, so putting was a little challenging on the front. Then came adjusting to nice fast greens on the back 9. That being said, the staff made a point to let everyone know about the conditions, and tried to give helpful tips to those that asked.

We arrived ten minutes early for our tee time and were told we couldn't go off for a while as a tournament was finishing up. Not a great start - why accept tee times if you won't be able to accommodate?
Once we got out on the course we found the layout to be very interesting - lots of demanding shots, elevation changes and water hazards but disappointing in that the tee boxes, greens, fairways and rough were very unkempt. I expect to have some inconsistency in the ground cover if I've hit my ball in the woods, but a foot or so off the green I don't expect the main component of the ground to be weeds and crabgrass.
After speaking to our friends who live in the area, we learned this course declines over the course of the summer due to lack of watering and upkeep. It's a shame because it has a lot of potential to be a beautiful course with the right investment.

We started at 3:15pm and did not leave till 8:20pm. Each hole we waited for 10-15 minutes on average before teeing off. The greens were very littered with geese droppings.
Great price and very freindly staff. I will go back again. Hopefully it was just the day and time we went.

Bay Hills is in the best condition it has been in, in years. Fairways are in very nice condition and the greens are the best I have seen them. It also helps that I shot my best rounds since high school 1976, score 86.

Due to scheduled league play all carts had to be in by 5pm, our T-time was at 1:08, we were paired with two others which was fine. There were 6 ahead of us which prevented us from starting on time, started around 1:30; they also were very slow holding us and rest up. Were only able to get to the 15th and were reminded at around 4:15 the carts had to be in and then again at 4:45. They should scheduled less groups on these League Nights or at least have a note added when booking online.

Course was very great and good greens would definitely play there again but only had one water cooler and it was empty and the cart girl only came around once in a four hour period
