3/31/24 - worth it.

11:20 am tt. $138 including taxes for me, $75 for my junior son. Best course so far - greens fast, firm yet receptive. Challenging with some tight driving holes but fair layout. Check your yardage off the tee on doglegs. Cart GPS was crucial . Bunkers were nice. Played Shalimar before this and that was rough all around…. Bluewater Bay was a bit better, haven’t played the other higher priced courses in the area yet, but would recommend Indian Bayou.

Beautiful Course

This was one of the higher priced course is my son and I golfed at while in Destin. By golf standard I would say it was an average price for a beautiful course. It was worth every penny. Beautiful conditions. I was also blessed to watch my 13-year-old son get his first par.

Good greens, friendly staff, good experience

My family and I really enjoyed our entire experience from bag drop off through finishing on #18. Lots of availability online, greens were in great shape, good pace, everyone allowed us and the groups around us to have fun. Friendly staff, good practice facility. Wide fairways, course ranging from 7,000 yds to white tees that were great for my son at 5,900 yds. Super nice beverage cart experience which we saw 4 times during the round. Lastly, they have a lot of branded attire in the clubhouse from multiple brands. As someone who has played some of the nicest courses in this area, I highly recommend it!
