Sorry can't recommend

Played this course with two friends. Course was in bad shape, from greens to tee boxes, fairways were average. There were chunks of turf out of some of the greens. Tee boxes only gave you 12-15 feet of spacing, and beat up. There was a group of six that played behind us. At the turn a twosome was added. Extremely slow play five and half hours to finish...nothing good to say about this course.

Nice course!

Well maintained course, more challenging than I had realized, as it a bit short. Pretty much everyone playing in front of us were super inexperienced golfers, but knew enough to let us play through, so pace was just fine. We found it odd that the cart girl drove up on the green, but she was very nice! Staff were all very friendly!

Short but Fun

Bay Hills is an affordable course with no driving range, but fun track to play. It's a shorter course, Par 70, with only one Par 5. However, it can be challenging due to trees, hazards, etc. Great place to learn the game of golf and the course was in great shape. A lot better than I expected. I'll be back.

Just Visiting

Course was in good shape with a few area of construction going on that did not bother my game. As I find other courses in the area to play I will keep Bay HIlls in mind for a replay on any given day.

Good course, condition and play

Overall good course. Tee boxes were maintained. Fairways were great. Greens nice and fast. Can't help the oak tree strings all about but still good putting. Most holes are semi-straight, so leaves a bit to be desired. But still a great course to get a round in.

Consistently Disappointing

Booked a 2p.m. tee time. Did not tee off until 3. This was partly because of slow play, but mostly because the course doesn't have enough carts. They have had this problem for several years and apparently don't care about it. The staff, which is pretty good, is put in a position to deal with unhappy customers. The course is nice, but plagued by painfully slow play. Wanted to play 18, but only ended up playing 9 because it was almost 5:30 when we got to the 10th and found the group in front of us loitering on the tee with no one in the fairway in front of them. It was crowded, but this course isn't difficult enough to justify having to take more than 5 hours to play. Before we teed off the staff gave us coupons for a free 9 holes. I won't be back.

An average day

I haven't played this course in 5 years. It wasn't a course that really stood out for me, but I had a Hot Deal and thought I would give it a try. Fairways and greens were in good shape. Greens were fast and firm. I was somewhat dissapointed with the rest of course maintenance. There were many tree limbs, mostly in the roughs laying around. Cart paths were in disrepair with pot holes, parts were missing and replaced with gravel. It just gave an impression that course maintenance didn't have high priority. I wouldn't pay regular green fees to play. Maybe another Hot Deal, but there are other courses in the area much more appealing.

Nice course, great day

This course is my favorite near Annapolis. Well laid-out , only one par 5 hole, and well-maintained. Relatively wide fairways but lots of adjacent trees to provide an in-bounds challenge. Nice day (~70 and sunny). Friendly staff. Good value for the money.

Good value, fun course

Bay Hills is a fun yet challenging course. Hills and some narrow fairways mean accuracy off the tee is crucial. But even if you miss a fairway you typically still have a shot and not a lost ball. Fairways are in good shape this time of year even with dormant turf. Greens roll true and a little faster than many public courses. The back 9 plays a little longer than the front. Staff is always friendly and accommodating.

Very nice course. Challenging for every hcp level.

It´s a well mainteined course. good fairways, rough and greens are fast and hilly. Played front 9 and the non Championship ones because at the back 9 were working on every green from the botom. Something happened to them... I´ll be back surelly.

Respect for the Game of GOLF

I get a mixed message from any golf course which allows a player to wear "JEANS". My question is WHY?

Plan to play again

This time of the year I was pleased with the course. This was the first time I played the course. I played with Bob, whom is plays the course regularly. His advice with the course played dividends for me. I will play it again in the spring.

The greens were true to role.

Worth the money

It's nice to try different courses and that was the idea this past weekend. Given the large amount of rain on Friday/Saturday, the course was in surprisingly good shape. The greens were awfully slow though as I'm sure they were unable to cut/roll. Nice course and layout, but I do prefer more than 1 par 5 and 3 par 3's.
