Bay Point Resort - Nicklaus Course

Course was in good shape. Getting a lot of Po in the greens. Greens are super-fast.

Baypoint used to have actual grass in the fairways, now it is dust. Their greens used to be great, now they have so much Poanna that most of the greens are totally un-puttable. No true lies anywhere, like putting on a mattress.

Not rewarded when making shots to the greens what with obscure mounds or large mounds protecting the greens …add in rock hard greens and a flop shot is 20 feet off the green…lol

Greens are starting to show a need for some herbicide to stop the “little green patches” showing up to make a putt look like it’s a basketball being dribbled

Bring extra balls as there are some tee shots over water that will intimidate most low handicappers

Add in lightning fast greens you putt strength need no more than 1/4 of the way to the cup

Still laughing at the tee where you go over marsh in one way, only to cross back over in the opposite direction to get to the green

The putts that are close have to GIMME’S lol

Staff very disorganized upon arrival. No starter at first as well as no scorecard on cart or in pro shop. Course was okay but below most Nicklaus curse standsrds.

We have played Bay Point a dozen times over the last five years. It’s a good layout with a great staff. This was our first time there this year and I have to say we were a little disappointed. The greens have a little different grass growing in them that made putting a challenge. It was busy but we got around in 4 hours which is fine. All the golf in the area has went up in price. Bay Point is no exception.

While the golf course is outstanding, the staff is even better.

My wife and I played the course for the first time and expected better. First off, no GPS on the carts which was really needed as they were a couple of holes on the front nine that were difficult to figure out where to hit to (layup fairway landing over march etc) and having to play 6 holes "cart path only".. Because of this pace of play was extremely slow for groups ahead as we constantly waited on every hole. It became so slow that when we got to the 12th tee, we were the 4th group on the hole. We called the proshop and they sent out the "golf ambassador" as they have no oncoure ranger. He told the group holding everyone up to let us go ahead. We skipped the 12th hole and found that there were 3 holes open ahead and played pretty quick. Them we got stuck on 17 behind a 5 some and waited more to play the last two holes. The layout is challenging, and the greens have a lot of undulation. They were made even more difficult to putt as most were bumpy due to spots of poa annua
popping up all over. Without having someone on the course making sure pace of play is maintained, not allowing 5somes and adding GPS to the carts, we probably won't come back.

Nice layout, some gettable holes as well as challenging ones.
Greens were firm and semi-fast (especially downgrain).
Pace of play was awful. On the 12th hole we saw a ranger just 2 minutes after the foursome finally let us through,.
Fairways, bunkers, and teeing areas were all consistent and in good shape. The range was closed.

Fun course . Wind and water a tough combo.

Big time greens.

Multiple tees very helpful and essential.

Would definitely play again.

This is the nicest of the 3 local courses in the immediate PCB area. Quite challenging at times. The yardages can be deceiving and the course seems to play long. Fairways in good shape. Greens were so-so with some sort of grass sprouting on them that can affect your putts. Staff was friendly and accommodating. I will be back.

I have been playing golf for 50+ years. This was the most pleasant, friendliest staff of any course I have ever played. Pro Shop employees, starter, marshall and beverage girl. Good course for players of all skill levels.

My wife and I played 18 holes, booked through GolfNow.
Course was in good shape for winter. Greens very fast.
More water than I remembered!
Staff very friendly and accommodating
Enjoyed ourselves thoroughly

We enjoyed the course. The only problem was that the foursome behind us almost hit one of us twice. If they could not see us, before hitting their ball, one of them, should have come to check whether or not it was ok for them to play.
However, we are playing again on Tuesday and are really looking forward to it.

Forgiving fairways with the usual Florida raised green structures. Water everywhere but drivable. Most interesting holes were 4 and 17. St. Mellions in England is worthy of the Nicklaus name, this not so much.
