Sheraton Panama City Beach Golf and Spa Resort

Arrived early for our tee time. Starter checked us in and sent us to the driving range.

He was letting walk on groups tee off ahead of us. My daughter asked me to go over by the starter. When I did he had just let another group in line in front of us.

He forgot that he already checked us in and asked for our starter sli again.

He then moved us in front of the group he just put in front of us.

We proceeded to play the slowest round we’ve ever played.

We were on pace for a 6 to 7 hour round. We had to quit after 14 holes to make to to my daughters (who was playing with me) birthday dinner.

We’ve always enjoyed playing here but not this time. My daughter plays college golf and was looking forward to returning here for a birthday round. Needless to say she was very disappointed - as was I.

Great layout, and the course was in pretty good shape!

Course and staff are great. Can’t wait to go back!

Really liked everything about this course from the layout to the multiple tee boxes. Greens rolled really true and were challenging. Opportunities to score if you kept it in play off the tee.

Greens had clumps of dirt as they weren’t mowed the day we played. Staff very friendly and helpful.

I really Enjoyed the course. The staff were very nice and friendly. I used A TeeOff discounted tee time. No problem….nice driving range. The food was good too at the grill they have….Riders are $25. They had a cart Lady for refreshments. .

Course was in good condition but to pay $130.00 the amenities were disappointing. After we were met by the starter he told us the beverage cart was broke down and we would have to go back and get snacks and drinks if we wanted them, We went back and got what we needed which was a hassle because we had to buy all our drinks at one time. Then after we got back to the starter he informed us there was no coming back to the clubhouse after 9 holes that you had to play straight through and there was only 1 restroom on the course. I guess what irritated us the most was as soon as we get on the 3rd hole here comes the beverage cart, For the money it just wasn’t a good experience. Nothing against the course condition it was fine but to pay that price everything else just seemed out of place. Won’t come back for the price we paid.

Great course, staff was excellent. The pace of play was very good and met some very great people. Over all great experience.

Disappointed to say the least. Was told by the starter that there would be no beverage cart because it broke down and if we wanted anything we would have to go back to the clubhouse and get it. We went back and got what we needed and then after playing a couple of holes the beverage cart shows up..Only 1 restroom halfway through the course and the starter informed us that you couldn’t stop afterward 9 holes that there was no turn around. We wanted to take a short break after 9 holes and wasn’t able to do that. I just feel for $130.00 the amenities were lacking.

Our foursome had a very nice afternoon of golf at the Bay Point Nicklaus Golf Course. We all are super seniors over 70 years of age. The course was tough,4 even from the forward tees, but it was most enjoyable. The fairways are generous and the greens are large and undulating. The large bunkers, both fairway and green present a challenge. Best advice, plan out each shot and do not try to overpower the course. Do that and you will enjoy a nice round of golf.

The course was in pretty good shape. It’s a bit odd set up where you don’t return to the clubhouse at the turn. Pace was pretty good until the last three holes. We ran into a group of 4 guys that played extremely slow. Because there wasn’t a lot people golfing, they had sent the starter/ranger home so there was no one to monitor the slow play.

I had a chance to play Bay Point. The course was in good condition overall. My only complaint was that the greens were very slow.

Everything was going great in to the front nine.

Met up with the Marshall and he informed us that as a twosome the course was wide open ahead of the foursome we were following.

Said we could jump ahead.

What did we find, not one but two fivesomes ahead!!

I have never ran into this before on any golf course I have played.

We didn't even get to finish our round.

HOW IGNORANT TO THE GOLFERS BEHIND THEM.

THIS SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED
