Bay Hills Golf Club

Unless you hit the narrow fairway the ball rolled off a hill. Tee boxes were awful. The grass had not grown in yet, but the fairways were hard as rock. The young lady in the pro shop was very professional and delightful to talk to.

We are just coming out of winter in Maryland, so we cannot complain much about limited rough grass, wonky greens, etc. Now, the critique. Low pace of play score is due to the management allowing two fellas to wait 15-20 minutes after their scheduled tee time for their LATE buddies to show up. The WHOLE round was backed for the rest of the day for everyone else, this was VERY poor form by the club. Off course amenities are all but non-existent (no driving range, kinda a sad putting green with almost no space around it to chip/pitch). One last thing, this club has no rhyme or reason what color flag is on the green with respect to pin placements. So you are guessing all day long where exactly the pins are. I looked through the score sheet at it was not printed there either. There are definite improvement Bay Hill CAN and SHOULD do, lets see how they respond as we come into the season.

New owner and you can see the changes....all good. They are putting in sprinklers and I hope all the upgrades don't mean a price increase...

Amazing golf course, I live 1 hour away and it was my first time playing here. Amazing layout, the greens were perfect. I’m already planning for next week.

It’s an older community course. Lots of extremely old overgrown trees. On several holes, what appear to be good tee shots turn into tree trouble. The course played firm and fast. Based on the season an recent weather, the green were extremely firm and very difficult to hold. Most of the greens were very large, but if you short sided yourself, you needed to have tremendous touch to get it close. The course definitely played tougher that appearance the scorecard gave. Again, a lot of that had to do with the fall breezy and dry conditions. If the greens and fairways were a little softer, I think the course would have played a lot different!
