Challenging yet fun

Bay Forest has been a fun course to play. Have been here 3 to 4 times now. Only suggestion would be for the marshalls to reiterate to those teeing off if they are slow to play to be mindful and considerate and let smaller groups or faster playing groups play through. This seems to be a recurring situation at most courses these days as younger players have not been taught to play ready golf or be considerate of others playing behind them.

Fun Course

Played here twice in the last 2 weeks. Greens are pretty quick and roll true. Price is reasonable. Course layout is a lot of fun. I recommend playing here.

Greens and fairways were in great conditions. Hazards and elevated greens made it challenging and enjoyable for the average golfer.
