Needs Work

Challenging course due to water & sand, but condition of tee boxes, fairways were subpar for the price and the bar personnel were rude, yet on course staff were wonderfully helpful and personable.

great course and friendly staff

It was a great course and extremely friendly staff. I have never been there so I parked me truck and was walking over with my clubs. a staff member rode a cart over to great me, put my clubs on the cart and then let me know where to go and what to do. Everyone I interacted with was very friendly and made my trip enjoyable. they allowed my boy to ride in the cart with me at no extra charge. some of the other courses charge for a rider. The course was challenging for me anyways, and well taken care of.

Nice course but the greens are shot

Baypoint used to have actual grass in the fairways, now it is dust. Their greens used to be great, now they have so much Poanna that most of the greens are totally un-puttable. No true lies anywhere, like putting on a mattress.

Gimme’s

Not rewarded when making shots to the greens what with obscure mounds or large mounds protecting the greens …add in rock hard greens and a flop shot is 20 feet off the green…lol

Greens are starting to show a need for some herbicide to stop the “little green patches” showing up to make a putt look like it’s a basketball being dribbled

Bring extra balls as there are some tee shots over water that will intimidate most low handicappers

Add in lightning fast greens you putt strength need no more than 1/4 of the way to the cup

Still laughing at the tee where you go over marsh in one way, only to cross back over in the opposite direction to get to the green

The putts that are close have to GIMME’S lol

Mediocre resort attractiveness.

Staff very disorganized upon arrival. No starter at first as well as no scorecard on cart or in pro shop. Course was okay but below most Nicklaus curse standsrds.

Great Round

I have been playing golf for 50+ years. This was the most pleasant, friendliest staff of any course I have ever played. Pro Shop employees, starter, marshall and beverage girl. Good course for players of all skill levels.

Okay round

We have played Bay Point a dozen times over the last five years. It’s a good layout with a great staff. This was our first time there this year and I have to say we were a little disappointed. The greens have a little different grass growing in them that made putting a challenge. It was busy but we got around in 4 hours which is fine. All the golf in the area has went up in price. Bay Point is no exception.

Just as I remembered, nice course

Nice layout, some gettable holes as well as challenging ones.

Greens were firm and semi-fast (especially downgrain).

Pace of play was awful. On the 12th hole we saw a ranger just 2 minutes after the foursome finally let us through,.

Fairways, bunkers, and teeing areas were all consistent and in good shape. The range was closed.

Great

We enjoyed the course. The only problem was that the foursome behind us almost hit one of us twice. If they could not see us, before hitting their ball, one of them, should have come to check whether or not it was ok for them to play.

However, we are playing again on Tuesday and are really looking forward to it.

Nice condition but flat !

Forgiving fairways with the usual Florida raised green structures. Water everywhere but drivable. Most interesting holes were 4 and 17. St. Mellions in England is worthy of the Nicklaus name, this not so much.
