Nice course. Not the type of Nicklaus course that I have played in the past. Being from the North, I am not a fan of the grasses in Florida, but hey… it is golf in December!! Nice layout and the greens had nice, consistent speed. The tee boxes were a little rough and some of the fairways were as well. The staff we dealt with were AWESOME. My kids and I had two wonderful experiences.

Great place to play

I played the course twice on my vacation to PCB. Both times were completely different staffs working, but both days were exceptional. Very friendly, extremely helpful and great attitudes. The course itself was in great condition. Greens were smooth and fast as well as difficult which makes for some fun puts. Bunkers were in good shape. Tees and fairways were in very good condition. Will definitely play again and recommend to anyone of any skill level.

Stay Classy

I’m highlighting the amenities that were once there but are no longer. Breakfast sandwiches are only available on weekends, there may or may not be a cart attendant after 12p depending on their mood or circumstances. The club just purchased a fleet of new carts, the sun goes down at 4p but you’re lumped in with strangers sharing carts & rounds even if you’re tee time is after noon. There are friendly marshals making you share times/carts with others, whilst reminding you that you’re playing too slow when your sandwiched between members playing from 3’s & 4’s all while they monitor your group from each hole. Seems to be roughly 5 seconds between tee times & the practice range hosts a whopping 5 or so golfers outside of member area. Oh, and if you’re interested in membership to make your experience a bit better, those are suspended. I work nights & spend most of my days golfing (usually here) at the course closest to me but this last experience has driven me to other courses regardless of the drive for the foreseeable future.

FANTASTIC!

I have played this course many times in the past, but this was absolutely the best condition I have ever seen it in! The greens were perfect, fairways and tea boxes were great! Met in the parking lot by an exceptionally friendly gentleman to help me with my clubs, starter was very personable!

Everything from start to end was an A+ experience!

Great Layout

Bay Point is a challenging course complete with well placed obstacles and hazards. Staff was very helpful, offering tips and information to make navigation and play enjoyable. Minor damage on a couple of greens. Other than that the course was in beautiful shape. New cups were cut each day we played. One more shout out for the staff. They were awesome!

What Nicklaus designed this place?

This course is a decent municipal level course , but Nicklaus would b embarrassed to have his name associated w/ this place .

Tee boxes, fairways and greens were in average shape , with the green rolling very roughly; akin to putting on a bumpy indoor /outdoor green carpet.

Signage was minimal and the route from 3 green to 4 tee was very poorly marked .The Oregon Trail was shorter!

I was guessing all day on yardage despite having my range finder .

Pace of play was great . I was a single in a cart and was able to play multiple shots around the green and still finish in 3 hours . There were very few memorable holes ; 0 in fact .

The 1 bright spot was the staff. They were friendly and very helpful.The range and putting green were adequate .

I would not play the course again . $100 for a $45 value
