Course needs to be shutdown for repair

Course badly needs to be shutdown for repair. Greens are completely burnt up and they are using fairway greens with 8” cups for putting. Not worth more than $20. Complete waste of time and money.

Needs Time and Attention

Hurricane Michael definitely left this course an uphill battle to recover from. The fairways and tee boxes need sand leveling terribly bad. They are forced to utilize temporary greens while trying to get the greens back from Michael. The staff was great but until this course has time and major TLC it isn’t worth playing. I am hopeful to return and see how it was meant to be played but we are talking years most likely IMHO.

No mention of false greens

Should be known that course has root rot on greens and they have false greens with 8inch cups.

Not the course as advertised

Course Marshall

The course Marshall sat on nearly half of our 18 holes just watching us as if we were doing something wrong. We had never been there before and made our group uncomfortable when we were trying to play and had someone over watching. We did nothing wrong and played all 18 holes. Also they had temporary greens which is understandable but using 8” pipe as the cup is not. Went to signal hill not far away and had a much more pleasant experience.

Not worth anywhere near $130

The course design is great, but for the burnt greens that are ~50% grass, $130 is more than double what should be charged for this course. The ranger asked us to pick up the pace, with no one behind us, even though our foursome finished in a little over three hours. I’ll take my money elsewhere.

Don’t waste your time or money

Great course layout that has all sorts of challenges ruined by the worst greens I have ever played. The green surface is MAYBE 20% grass and the rest is bare mud. The grassy areas are so bumpy and ball marks everywhere. Looks like the pin positions haven’t been moved in months. Save your time and play elsewhere.

Bad greens

Golf course is great, but GN did not say anywhere during my booking that the greens are eat up. And for $130 I would expect the app would have that information available to us so I don’t waste money. I hope it’s fixed by next year

Greens unplayable

I saw a few reviews on here from the last few days about the greens and they are understating when they say horrible. This is embarrassing from a course of this caliber. We played it last year and it was in great shape. Someone dropped the ball and they should be giving discounted rates. I’m easy going and didn’t want to make a stink, but the greens are unplayable. I would not play here for the next 3-6 months. It’s going to take at least that for the greens to recover if they do. They may end up having to replace. I feel bad for the staff, but someone dropped the ball while maintaining these. We may try again next year, I’ll write another review then. The staff said they were going to temp greens starting next week. Good luck to anyone, it’s a shame...clubhouse, grill, staff were beyond excellent...

Greens

Wonderful routing and layout. It's shame the greens have been lost. A little offended that I was not informed of this prior. Also, should be a major fee reduction.

Bad greens

No notice was given on how bad the greens are until I reached the 1st tee, this is not a $139 round of golf. Pro shop could not offer any kind of discount before or after the round.

Do not play till the greens come back

Greens’ Disaster

The greens at Bay Point were a disaster. No mention of this when the tee time was made online. However, the staff did point this out after I paid for four players. Bay Point should be ashamed to charge full price when the greens are in such bad shape.
