I know it"s a bad time of the year, but the greens are going to need some immediate attention. I think it is poana grass that starts growing instead of the normal grass. It causes the ball to hop like a bunny towards the hole. The usual greens are moderately fast but true.

The drought is bad for all golf courses. The front nine has a lot of fairway issues.

Course was in usual winter condition. Some fairways were pretty bare, but mostly on the front nine. The tide plays havoc on the fairways on 1, 3, 4, & 7. Back nine has better fairways. The greens were in full winter mode. They rolled fairly well and definitely fast, especially on side hill or downhill lies.

Have played this course many times. They have had green issues before but generally the course is in fairly good condition. Unfortunately the whole course is not in good condition at all. From the tee boxes all the way to the greens, the course needs a lot of work. Some fairways were not even mowed and very few greens did not have dead spots. I love the layout but will not return to this course until I see better reviews.

I fully understand that the course is in the process of coming out of "hibernation" but the greens were more like a pinball machine than a putting green. There were clumps of grass spouting out which caused the ball to hop, change direction, etc. The back nine was a little better but ball still hopped like a bunny!

Course was in fairly good shape for winter time. Pace was a little slow but tolerable since the day was nice.

Course is in spectacular shape! It is a shame that the freeze killed so many palm trees. It appears that they were hoping more would come back but they are having to cut down the ones that didn’t make it. They will be missed as hearing the wind blow thru the palms gives it that tropical feel!

The course was in excellent shape as usual. Had a wonderfully time playing as the weather was pretty nice. It was kinda of windy which makes Moody that much more challenging!

Course was in good shape for the time of year. Some fairways are bare from the tides. Not much you can do about that if you want to play Bayou! I play there often and just expect it. Some holes (like hole 6) the area across the water is literally unplayable. Something needs to be done on that hole. Number 1 and 3 have serious tidal issues and the fairways need to be raised.

Course was basically empty. Had some “hole jumpers” but really no issue. They just kinda popped up around us! Greens were in good shape, fairways nice, and nice thick rough! The course has changed, there are no sand traps and the greens are smaller. Not a bad thing at all as the grass bunkers creates their own issues! Did I mention luscious rough? I enjoyed the day, finished in just under 3 hours!

No issues. Was not really crowded, pace of play was great. A single joined our threesome on the 3rd hole and that created the perfect pace to keep us from another foursome that were just ahead of us. The Marshal / starter was very nice and told us there wasn’t anyone teeing off for a while to just take our time. Course was in magnificent shape as usual with sand trap work going on, so the traps weren’t great but that is to be expected from time to time.

The greens had been aerated recently but did not roll that bad. Just one of those necessary evils that need to be done!

I love Bay Forest. The problem is the people that play there regularly. They think they own the course and they slow up play tremendously. This was on a Monday, midmorning and they allowed a five some. I personally don"t care, if they allow groups to go around them as they are playing a money game. We ended up with 3 groups on 1 hole and it just got worse. These guys playing in the five some sucked and I sure wanted to let them know that.

The only reason I didn’t give all excellent is the condition of some of the fairways as they have no grass due to high tide situations. The greens roll very true and with some speed to them.

Should of realized on the first tee it was going to be slow. We played the front nine in 2 hours and 30 minutes and it just got worse. We had actually had a group on the green, another group in the fairway, and 2 groups on the tee box on 10. The actual line up was 2 foursomes, and 3 twosomes. The foursomes were painfully slow and actually was causing the backup. The Marshall came out a couple of times and it actually got worse. He was no help at all, in fact we never saw him again after the 8th hole. We figured all this out and skipped 3 holes and left them all. The staff should monitor and actuallyy do something about slow play. We had a 5 hour round and skipped 3 holes.

Enjoyed the day as well as the golf! Staff was friendly and attentive. Course was in great shape for all the rain we have had recently. Sand looked in a great shape but I was glad I never had to actually experience hitting out of them! I had a lot of fun and will definitely come back after aerated greens have healed up!

No fault to the course, we had a group in front of us that had 2 separate carts & 2 walkers. We understood that they might be a little slow but it was painfully slow especially when you see them fishing for balls when we were on the tee box a couple of times. They finally let us around them on the back nine and we then flew thru the rest of the round.

The reason for the bad rating is that the pace of play was very bad even for a Friday. The starter could of made a huge difference in the situation by grouping up twosomes to make foursomes. Having twosomes mixed with foursomes and add in a threesome or two for good luck, and you will have multiple groups waiting on the same tee box on almost all the holes. The fairways were really bad in some places but that’s Bayou! I like the greens and the majority of the fairways that don’t get nailed every high tide!

This is one of the longest day on the course I have ever had on a weekday. There were no marshals patrolling the course and we actually had 4 groups on the same hole numerous times during the round. Thank goodness it was a beautiful day and we just resigned ourselves to waiting on every shot and enjoyed the day! The course was in great shape as they just had a big USO tournament.
