It’d be better if I didn’t lose my balls all the time

It’s an amazing course. Lots of water and houses. I’m not so good at golf, and still the course is not that bad! I do love it!

A great day. The course is in great shape. The greens were a little slow and the bunkers were hard. It is always a nice experience at Bay Hills.

The staff is always friendly. Appreciate you all having some Senior tee-times.

Course Review

I have been playing this course a number of times over the past 10 years as it's only 15 minutes from where I live. Over the recent few years, they have done a good job with the fairways however the rough is pretty barren, the greens are going downhill, and the tee boxes and cart paths need help. I know the weather this Spring has not helped - unseasonably cold to cool temps, and very little rain. But the course itself needs attention. They have been VERY understaffed the past 4-5 years - at times only one person was there to check players in as well having to wash and deliver carts. And not having a Marshall or Starter has caused severe slow play a number of times - either from letting groups tee off whenever they choose and then not monitoring play once they are on the Course. On the great side, they now have all new carts so the severely malfunctioning old ones are no longer an issue. Given the amount they ask we Seniors to pay, it really isn't all that bad - but as they say, you get what you pay for. But I think, based on other Courses in the area, given their condition, staffing, care, and price to play, they might greatly improve a lot of the issues by raising their rates a few bucks and reinvesting in Bay Hills.

Pace of play

I enjoy playing Bay Hills. The course is in good shape & the staff is very friendly. My biggest concern and/or complaint is the pace of play. At times it is very slow. Sometimes to a point that I wished I hadn’t played that day. I feel the addiction of a Marshall to help speed up play would be a great plus for the course.

Lack of control

The course is good, but there is no starter direction. Golfers just go at random and there always seems to be a backup on several holes with sometimes 2 or 3 groups waiting.
A group that had a later start time than ours actually was on the tee 5 minutes before ours.

The course and facilities look tired. Trash cans full at every hole, no ball washing capability. No warm-up range and only two holes on the putting green.

For this time of year

The fairways were in very good condition for this early in the year. Greens were recently plugged with an overlay of sand but rolled well, thanks to the fine point plugs they use.

Bunkers need work as always at this course.

Very enjoyable round until the 8 hole when e met a threesome who had the entire course backed up as they were slow and very poor golfers. Course desperately needs a Marshal.

Pace of play

Bay Hills is a competitive golf course. The course is challenging but fair. For this time of year the course is in decent shape. My only complaint is the pace of play. It can be very slow. Too many groups spend way too much time looking for errant balls & getting ready to hit their ball. For me personally I don’t enjoy constantly standing around waiting at each hole while groups in front take way too much time playing. Speed if play has to really improve as we get closer & closer to nicer weather.
