BayPoint - Course Conditions

Good course layout, friendly and helpful staff. Fairways very close cur and dried out. Greens in poor condition. Overpriced by at least 40% based strictly on the condition of most fairways and especially the greens.

Embarrassed

Been coming to Panama Beach and playing Bay Point for 15+ years and never experienced the course in this condition. Even with the sticker shock I finally convinced my guest to go only to be totally embarrassed with the condition of the greens! It wasn’t just a seasonal aeration and sand but several totally bare areas. A warning that greens were in transition and a reduced green fee would have lessened the embarrassment.

Terrible Greens

Great staff, great layout. Tee boxes, fairways and bunkers all very good. BUT.......the greens were horrible. Some kind of disease, or bug. Every green.

With these types of conditions they should let you know in advance. They need to reduce the price per round with these conditions.

Want to play in the fall but will definitely call and ask beforehand. we don't want to travel here for this again.

Awful greens

The greens are continuously in bad shape when you’re paying a premium. It’s a shame they don’t take better care of this course given it has so much potential.

Greens not good

Played with some friends from out of town. We were unaware of the condition of the greens prior to our round. No one said a word on the condition, including the starter, as to how bad they were (fungus has destroyed them). We were charged full price. Very disappointed.

Needs help

The bones on this course are good but the playing conditions are not. The greens have weeds growing on them, although being treated. Fairways are ragged and uneven. Players should be advised prior to booking.

Greens were awful, no mention of the conditions before we paid or teed off.. Was not worth $50.00 much less the $105.00 we paid.

Poor Shape / Over Priced

This course was in poor shape for the cost of play. My group will not be back

Not what we are used to.

I have played here ,for the past four or five years, every May. Until this year I never had reason to complain and the course had been well maintained. This year however was a completely different experience and may make me change my mind on whether I come back next year or go to another course such as Holiday or Signal Hill courses. For the price of $105.00 per round, I would expect playable greens at a minimum. Most of the greens were in poor to unplayable shape. Certainly not worth what I paid. I would like a reponse to this survey.

Not worth what you pay

Course was a real disappointment. We should have listened to all the other negative reviews but thought we’d give it a chance. The course was in poor condition and is not on par with other area courses that give you a far better experience. Drive to Destin if you want to play golf.

Course

Fairways cut way too low, so are the greens. Greens are too steep, also some greens lean front to back. Not fun. Like the layout of the course though. Tee boxes were very fair but the ground was so hard I couldn't hardly get my tee in the ground. When you pull the flagstick out of the hole, the ball is supposed to come out with it. It doesn't. The metal piece at the bottom of the flagstick needs a flat spot on the bottom to pull the ball out of the hole like other flagsticks.

Unusually poor conditions

I have played this course dozens of times, dating back to the previous layout as The Legends. This is the worst condition I've seen it. Many tees have little to no grass and all of the greens are in poor shape. The new owners, The Sheraton, don't seem to want to spend money on maintaining the course.

They have already decided to abandon The Meadows course after damages from Hurricane Michael a few years ago. This would be a huge loss to the Bay area if the Nicklaus Course goes the same way.

Poor greens

Course had good bones, but there were sandy spots on the fairways and very spotty greens. Paying over $100 for a round of golf, you expect good course conditions, but I felt like you couldn’t putt it on the greens without putting through a sandy repaired area or patches of foreign grass. Overall, we were disappointed in the value for what we paid.

Bay Point

Staff was great. Course layout is challenging but fun to play. Have played this course for years. The condition of the course was the worst in memory and not worth the cost to play. A real shame.

Great Course!

My son and I played this on April 3 and again on May 7. Very challenging course….but a lot of fun at the same time. Great pro shop. Staff is friendly. Range is adequate. Greens had some light weeds to them, but still as smooth and true as any nice course you would play. We love the place!

mixed experience

First impression... The guys outside are a real joy and so helpful. They are almost worth the cost of enduring this course. The guy behind the counter was obnoxious and acted like I was a real bother coming in. He should be fired.

No idea if this course is normally in better condition, but it was really bad shape. Greens were especially bad. Overrun with poa, lots of dead spots that had been filled with sand. Lots of sand...

I have played several Nicklaus courses over the years, and you would never know it if this wasn't the big bragging point. I planned on playing three days, but left the course when slow play backed everything up when I hit #13.

It's a $30 course, not $115.

So sad !

Estoy muy triste por la condición de este campo , es la segunda vez que lo juego y pensé encontrarlo en mejor condición (primera vez en invierno y está en primavera )

Para ser un Jack Nicklaus Design deja mucho Que desear y creo que un poco de más dedicación y amor sobre el campo podría ser mucho más hermoso y espectacular , sobre todo por su localización en una ciudad de mucho turismo y con una de las mejores playas del mundo !!
