Nice course, terrible staff.

The course itself is beautiful. The holes are challenging, but fun. The staff were not welcoming. The check in staff enforced a collared shirt for men and women dress code, but then we saw course staff in tshirts along with other golfers in non-collared shirts. Being "Golf Now" golfers also earned us very little respect and poor treatment.

Enjoyable Playing Course

The condition of the course was really good, the layout was challenging and enjoyable! Yes, if you're hitting to the off of center? You'll need a few balls to make up for your aim! But I had a great time playing the holes! Good and Clean and Green Course! I look forward to trying my hand & clubs at it once again..Tahnks

Extremely challenging, even goods shots can be penalizing.

This is a course that I will play maybe once a year, typically when I feel my game is steadily improving. It will demand many placement and highly accurate target shots for it to be enjoyable at all. In my opinion is by far the most challenging course in the Omaha metro. The good points are - each hole is well isolated and the views can be scenic. If you want a challenging round this is the course for you. The bad - this is the only course I've ever played where you can hit a straight drive that lands in the fairway and your ball will still funnel down and end up OB. Good shots are often times not rewarded at all. Shots that end up in the first cut of rough will funnel down into the OB area too often. Outside the first cut of rough is not maintained and the ground is very knobby. The greens are all very small and not well thought out at all. Twice in my last round, my ball would be nearly at a dead stop around the fringe and rolled all the way off the other side of the green. You will not get many flat lies, most of the time with the ball significantly below your feet, even in some fairways. The staff is rude, I had an expired voucher that kept it's "cash value" that I used to pay for my round and was actually owed money back. Henry at the check in counter failed to settle the difference. When I brought it up he stated "well it's close enough" and walked away. At least comp or reduce the price for concessions paid to equal out the difference. I've never felt they appreciated my business.

One of eastern Nebraska's best

I enjoyed a splendid 18 holes of fall golf at Bay Hills. The course was in fine condition, the greens smooth and the layout very stimulating. The staff was friendly and the golf challenging. I consider this course to be equal to better known and more expensive courses. I recommend this course to anyone who seeks a long and wide course with numerous elevation changes, winding fairways and ample mature trees. Truly a golf feast!

For Plattsmouth, not bad

Course is spread out and no fairway is next to another. This requires drives and irons to be accurate. Great place to challenge golfer who often hits from neighboring fairway! A lot of elevation changes. Never think a hole is drivable.

GREENS WERE TERRIBLY UNFAIR

The course was not in bad condition but the greens are a joke.
They have lots of undulation which makes them challenging. When we played they must have been set at about 15 on stimpmeter. On several holes when you attempted a 15 foot putt up hill and missed it would then roll back down off the green. I believe this is why the round took us 5 hours+ to play because we weren't the only ones having problems.

never again

I will never ever play this course again! There are several holes that are of such poor design that a good shot may end up out of position. I also noticed a strong bias against golf now players which begs the question "why allow them if your going to treat them like second class golfers?" The pro shop is second in lack of common courtesy only to the folks at Indian Creek. At least when I leave Indian Creek I know I've played a nice and challenging course.

CAN'T BLAME IT ON THE COURSE

Over the Labor Day Weekend I was fortunate enough to be able to play two rounds of golf at Bay Hills. Just like always, the greens were challenging. But, they were in great shape and I must say, I can't blame it on the course that I couldn't hit a putt! Bay Hills is a great place to test your entire game...tee to green. Thanks for a great weekend

Economy Quarry Oaks

This is a very scenic course. Tree lined with a variety of tight doglegs. NE has been in a drought condition and the tee boxes, fairways and greens were well maintained. I was pleased to see that they did not water the roughs which made for some challenging shots as well as some considerable roll outs! I don't recommend walking unless you are in good shape. Lots of hills and long distances from green to tee. The clubhouse had a decent menu and the personnel were very cordial.

Has quite a few difficult holes, especially for those that don't hit far off the tees.

Average value for the experience. During the week nearly always able to get a desired tee time.

Poor Course Management

Being in Omaha working, I've had the opportunity to play many of the courses here and have been quite pleased. We played Bay Hill and it was a disappointing experience. Bay Hill is a very "quirky" golf course. The greens were inconsistent at best, and the rough was penal only because it was very poorly maintained. The was no attempt by the pro shop to maintain pace of play at all. There were 2 of us ( 6 and a 12) and the course was overbooked, no attention was paid to keep groups moving and the pace proved to be brutal. Overall, during my stay here in Omaha, I won't be returning to Bay Hill.

Average Course

You get what you pay for. Is a cow pasture made golf course. Really dry hard dirt areas,others are drainage mud spots. Fairways need mowed as well as tee boxes. Place has potential but really knew what to expect for the price.

Good greens dead rough

I felt that the course layout was rather gimmicky. Sever 90 degree doglegs and one or two double ones. The course is rather narrow which is not inherently a bad thing but it is if the rough is mostly dead and rock hard underneath. But the greens and fairways are well maintained and the greens are actually quite challenging.

I loved the challenge of the course.

This was a fairly challenging course. It is very well maintained. I thought the greens could have been just a little better. I still highly recommend giving it a try though.

NOT a walking course...

You do not want to walk this course, most tee boxes are 200-300 yards from previous green and there are NO sources of drinking water anywhere on the course, something I had never seen before. Course was in decent shape and price was reasonable but not worth driving 30 minutes to play again.

difficult greens, poor staff

The man in the pro shop made 4 of us who used GolfNow play together as a 4-some even though there were no tee times within 45 minutes of us. We were all hoping to play separately but were told we had to play together. It was disappointing that we couldn't play on our own. I will not be back to Bay Hills.
