Great course! Got a hot deal. The weather was beautiful, but a little windy. Overall the course was in great condition. The greens were fast. Good shape due to being cold.

Great Value

Bay Forest consistently has their greens in great condition. The rest of the course is typically in good condition as well. Fantastic value for the green fee. Clubhouse and bar personnel are friendly as well. You'll enjoy your round here.

Great municipal course!!

This course is very reasonably priced and maintained well! Soo much water but very fun! The staff and other golfers were very friendly. I highly recommend this course and I will be going again soon as my home course is closed on Mondays.

The course is in very good shape considering our current drought state. The greens are very good. The USB ports on the carts need to be repaired

Good Shape in Drought

Course is always in fair shape, but it was pretty exceptional for the drought we are in now. Staff was great and always there when you need a cold beverage.

Bay Shore

Golf course is in great condition and at a super low rate for courses comparable.
My only complaint is no a/c in the restrooms.
I’ll be back for sure.

Love the course conditions

For the draught we are having the course was in great condition. I love the course layout. I have always liked the fact that they keep the course in great shape. The greens are consistent and fast. I was so happy to see Melody was still working there. She is such an awesome person. I have known her for a long time. What I really liked about yesterday is that we were left alone to play golf. We didn’t have anyone checking to see if we had a cooler or if we might be doing something wrong. In the past there has always seemed to be a sense of that. So if you’re leaning on what course to play in the surrounding Houston area this is the best public course around.
