I know it’s early in the season, but……

Course was pretty scruffy - water in several bunkers and it’s not like we’ve had much rain.

They need new management.

The greens are just terrible. T boxes the same. It’s really to bad because that course has some of the coolest layouts I’ve played. And I’ve played everywhere. But the conditions on and around greens make it just about unplayable. If you want go just to practice shot making you will like it, it’s a players course very narrow. But don’t expect to score. Greens are like first cut of rough only worse. Bumpy and slow as it gets.

Nice course Friendly staff

Enjoyed the course, pro-shop staff was friendly. Decided to get food when making the turn but staff was slow, had issues with payment system and couldn't seem to get the order right.

Decent Course

The course is fun. Fairways are nice, greens are fast. Course is a little rough around the edges. No complaints based on price. Would play again.

Just ok for an outing. Not as much goose nastiness on the course s usual.

The course charged $5 more than the online fee.That’s bad.

Too many Bay Hilks

Unless you hit the narrow fairway the ball rolled off a hill. Tee boxes were awful. The grass had not grown in yet, but the fairways were hard as rock. The young lady in the pro shop was very professional and delightful to talk to.

Needs Additonal Management

We are just coming out of winter in Maryland, so we cannot complain much about limited rough grass, wonky greens, etc. Now, the critique. Low pace of play score is due to the management allowing two fellas to wait 15-20 minutes after their scheduled tee time for their LATE buddies to show up. The WHOLE round was backed for the rest of the day for everyone else, this was VERY poor form by the club. Off course amenities are all but non-existent (no driving range, kinda a sad putting green with almost no space around it to chip/pitch). One last thing, this club has no rhyme or reason what color flag is on the green with respect to pin placements. So you are guessing all day long where exactly the pins are. I looked through the score sheet at it was not printed there either. There are definite improvement Bay Hill CAN and SHOULD do, lets see how they respond as we come into the season.

Bay Hills

A great time. Course is in good shape and looks good without the trees. Some greens were fast and others weren’t. Food is always good. Only course I have played that has hamburgers ready at the turn. Still need a driving ranges

Thank you for playing Bay Hills. We would love to understand why you provided a low rating. Our GPS system shows that average pace of play was 3:34:31 for 33 groups that played on Tuesday, December 17th. We also understand that cart path only further reduces enjoyment. Any additional information concerning your round would be appreciated. Please write us at info@bayhillsgolf.com
