Coach Hank

The staff is super friendly. The fairways were nice except for a few spots. The greens rolled nice! They do have a weed problem on many of the greens. Overall the course was worth the money!

Slow play

We were at twosome that played the first nine in an hour and a half, made the turn and there were three groups on number 10. Took us 2 1/2 hours to play the back. Starter was very friendly and nice. Pro shop staff were not friendly at all. Greens were OK. Very slow. For the money, it was worth it.

Slow

Greens were super slow, and pace of play was not monitored at all. Waited for atleast 5 mins on every tee box and greens to clear. Course was in decent shape though, just needed to cut the greens down to up the speed.

The links

The golf course itself was very challenging. If you’re looking for a course with beautiful views and a lot of water - this is the one. I booked during a few weeks after their aeration period was supposed to be over yet the greens still weren’t grown in. A couple holes had water leaks and so tee boxes were moved up which wasn’t an issue. I would definitely come back once greens were grown in and water issue fixed.

Mostly good round

First time playing this course and for the most part it was great. That said, I’d expected the course to be a little better than it ended up being. Tee boxes were a bit sparse in some areas and the greens definitely need a bit of work. None of the shortcomings were make or break by any means, but given the 100 something dollars I paid to play, I thought it’d be a little bit better. Nothing against the course and I’d definitely play there again, just might look for a hot deal.

Very pleasant, great shape

Course was in fantastic condition. Greens well kept, pace was good. Course design had some interesting challenges without trying too hard to be gimmicky. Very friendly staff. Good pro shop selection. Would play again

Good layout. Good flow

Baytowne is a good layout. Greens had been recently aerated so can’t pass judgement there. Fairways good. It’s a fair test of golf and a reasonable value. I’ll continue to play it along with the other two.

Would like to see a course Marshall monitoring pace of play.
