Better Shape than Ever

There has been a lot of work put into this course. The fairways and greens are in the best shape I’ve ever seen them in. If only we can get people to fix their divots and pitch marks 🙁🤞
I’m a ‘play and leave’ guy, so I can’t speak to the off-course amenities.

Great Shape, Fun Round

To be honest, I’ve played this course in the past when it wasn’t in the best shape. Not anymore, the course yesterday was in fantastic shape! The fairways, the tee boxes, and the greens are all in great shape right now. If we can only get people to fix pitch marks and fill in their divots, it will be even better for all.
I’m impressed with the improvements and I’m looking forward to playing at Bay Hills again soon.

Course is in great shape

As I’ve said in other reviews of Bay Hills, the course has come a long way and continues to be in the best shape I’ve seen it in (moved to the area 2.5 years ago).
As far as the off-course amenities, I’m neutral because I’m a “play and leave” kinda guy. My rating does not reflect the actual amenities.

Better Shape than it gets credit for

The course itself was in better shape than others generally give it credit for. Here in Annapolis, we have not had much rain in August and the fairways were firm and fast. They have done a nice job on the greens, some of the tees (black) were rock hard, particularly on the back 9.
I had a tee time at 7:50am but some dudes wanted to play in a foursome with one of their guys who apparently was too lazy to book the tee time with the rest of his group. I generously agreed to go off as a single (it sucks), but the starter should never allow this to happen.

Wet Day, the fairways are in great shape

It rained overnight and before I arrived so the course was very wet. The grounds crew is doing a great job as the fairways are in great shape. A few of the greens on the front have been recently aerated and sanded, so that wasn’t ideal, but I get that it’s all part of the maintenance process.
I played from the white tees because I was paired with a couple of people who prefer those tees. For me, this is a course that should be played from the gold tees or even further back.
I enjoy this course and everyone is very friendly. I didn’t take advantage of the off-course amenities.

Friendly People, Fairways are in bad shape

I played this course for the first time on 9/5/2021. I was very happy with the layout and elevation changes. As many other people have mentioned, this course lost its fairways (probably due to the lack of rain early, then the deluges we’ve had recently) and they’re in rough shape - pretty much unplayable. The good news is that they are working hard to restore the fairways and I think things are moving in the right direction for recovery next season. They are also working on the tee boxes, so the tees for the most part were not in their normal spots. I imagine when everything is sorted out, this course will play much differently.
The greens are in decent shape and I found them to roll true and a good speed. Of course, they have the usual issues with people not fixing their pitch marks - makes me crazy. I always make it a habit to fix at least 2 on every green
I didn’t take advantage of the off-course amenities, so I can’t comment.
I recommend this course, but wait until next Spring if you can.

Good layout with lots of hills

I enjoy this layout a lot. I feel like it challenges all parts of your game. Not the longest course, but my feeling is that a course doesn’t have to be long to challenge your game.
Keep it in play and you’ll be OK.
I understand that Bay Hills is getting new carts soon, they’re sorely needed and it is a good sign that they’re taking the steps necessary to resolve things.
The staff is very friendly

Great layout! Best place in Chester County

I enjoy this course a great deal - I think it has the best layout in Chester County.
Since we played in the fall, I was expecting a number of “leaf balls”, but the staff has done a great job of removing the leaves, sticks, etc from the course.
The greens were faster than I expected they would be for this time of year.
All around kudos to all the staff for keeping the course in really nice shape.

Love this Chester County PA Gem!

I try to play this course at least one a week. The layout is great (I describe it as visually intimidating).
A couple of tee boxes that don’t get much sun need some work, but otherwise it’s in good shape.
The staff is always friendly and accommodating to me.
I try to play during the week to keep the cost down, $99 for a weekend round is steep, but don’t let that keep you from playing this course.

Best Course in the Area by Far

This is one of those courses that is beautiful and also visually intimidating. If you keep your wits about you and don’t get caught up in how tough it looks, you can play well and shoot a good score.
Great course, even better staff.
Friendly, welcoming, and fun - you can’t ask for a better experience.

Challenging Short Course

This is a course I have played several times. It’s not very long, but for some reason I find the layout very challenging. I’m not sure what type of grass is on the greens, but it’s very dense and consistent. The course is well maintained by the very capable superintendent and grounds crew.
No rating for the on-course amenities is supplied because they’re all still closed.
I recommend this course for golfers of all skill levels
