Par 72
Length 7248 yards
Slope 131
Rating 74.9

Originally opened as the Eagle Course at President Country Club, Banyan Cay Resort & Golf was renovated by Nicklaus design in 2017. The fairways are lined with coquina and pampas grass and there are also water hazards and sand bunkers coming into play throughout. The layout offers interesting par 3s that offer particularly nice scenery and a mix of par 4s that range from having ample room to being very tight and requiring more careful course management. The golf course opens with a risk-reward opportunity, a dogleg-right par 5 with a strategically placed lake.

Disappointing ...

I haven't played here in over three years. This a great Robert Trent Jones Jr. designed course that used to be beautifully maintained. Not so much anymore.

Tee boxes and fairways are not in bad shape ... but ... they have a definite weed problem. Greens have been recently punched and are extremely spongy.

The $29.00 GolfNow rate is appealing but there are plenty of other options at a similar price. Their big promotional push is a two-for-one, all-day every-day, drink special. I'd rather see them take the money they're investing in alcoholic beverages and spend it on weed control.

Nice Location, Great Layout, but Poor Conditions

I played this course a couple of years ago, and was looking forward to playing it again. However, the tee boxes, fairways, and rough were not in good condition.

This course is fun and challenging

Very challenging and fun course to play. Tight fairways first few holes but fair if you put it in fairway. I enjoy this course, greens in great shape and the pace of play was great.

Professionally Challenged

The course is very tight your shots need to be precise. Amazingly the greens were in excellent condition after this busy winter season. If you want to put a challenge in your game this course is for you.
The only bad part for me was some of the short par fours. But I have to play my game and just use a hybrid or Fivewood to give me a challenge. Because I play from the back tees.

Greens were not in very good shape

The course had an excellent layout, but the greens were very slow and bumpy. With good greens this would be top quality course.

Personnel courtois et beau parcours

Très beau parcours avec beaucoup d'eau. Les allées sont assez étroites avec souvent un étang d'eau tout le long du trou.

Je le recommande!!!!

Used to be nice, but not anymore.

People that I played with said that this used to be a nice course, so that's what I had to go on. It was not in good shape and appeared to be going even further down hill.

nice course

We arrived a little early and no one was on the tee but they would not let us start before your tee time. They would not even give keys to the cart until the tee time. You had to walk to the range with your clubs and you had to walk even farther to the chipping area.

Great value

We were three from Canada. Mid teens handicappers. Have played several courses in the area and fount this course to be the best value...even though bit more than the runner up. Greens were slightly slow. No big deal. The esthetics of the vegetation, water, waste areas were very appealing. We played 36 holes a day here for three days. Never a complaint. Dining area is quite nice and food better than most courses. Across the road from a new outlet mall if someone in your party would rather shop.
