Marriott's Legends Edge at Bay Point

Arrived early and the pro shop had no record of my Golf Now reservation...a Hot Deal rate. Would not honor the Golf Now rate and charged 130 for round. The course isn't in 130 condition.

There are not many quality courses around Panama City, so the price of a mediocre course is more than you'd find in other warm climes. $100 after noon is not what you’d normally expect to pay. First 5 holes were tricked up - lots of angles and water. After that the course is fairly normal. Greens were a tad slow with lots of poa which made putting more difficult. Plus, we crossed roads between holes often. Overall it’s an OK course with few other options in the area.

First 9 was too much carry over hazards. Back 9 was better. Greens were fair but challenging

It’s also very nice to meet other golfers. As much as I don’t mind golfing as a twosome, I think that a foursome helps increase the speed of the game.

Greens were packed with tuffs of thicker grass and had a lot of debris. Fairways were hard and made it hard to know if a shot hit where to wanted would stop on fairway. All said, I learned that if a course is named after a famous person,it doesn’t mean that it’s kept up to any standard.
