Indian Bayou Golf Club

We really enjoyed this course. Looking forward to playing it again, next time we are in town.

No water buckets on the course but everything is great.

Had a great time playing Indian Bayou. We had so much fun we played it again the next day. First time to vacation in the Destin, Panama City area of Florida. We will be back!

I chose this course in spite of a few bad reviews, and have never been more sorry. The comments about weeds were factual, and fairways had bare dirt spots. We ended up moving numerous shots to find grass. For a twilight rate of $125+, you expect something better than pasture pool. BEWARE AND BE WARNED!!!

Course was in beautiful condition. We tee’d off at 8:30 with very few people on the driving range (things were much busier when we finished at 11:45am). Pace of play was excellent. The staff were all helpful and friendly. Impressed with the condition of the greens/fairways/tee boxes. The course is not very challenging as a low single digit handicap (wide fairways, simple greens, minimal trouble) and overall felt a bit overpriced at $160. If you can get a ‘hot deal’, it would be much better value.

Beautiful day. It’s April. Course not in mint condition. Greens good shape and enjoyed the good speed. A lot of clean up work going on. Tree limbs everywhere. Course not in the same condition as found in the past.

Played yesterday and the course was in outstanding shape. Tee boxes, fairways and greens was in excellent shape. I play this course every time while in Destin. I highly recommend you play it as well. Thanks to everyone who made my golf day truly exceptional!

Great place to play a round and course difficulty isn't a deterrence. Friendly staff and beautiful course leave you with a desire to play again and again.

Indian Bayou offers a layout that allows for creativity off the tee and multiple approach options. The course conditions were good but not quite great for late April. Staff was very courteous, but pace of play was slowed a touch by connected foursomes.

I am certainly spoiled by the private club where I normally play so factor that into my comments. The appeal of this course (based on reviews I have read about other Destin-area courses) is the higher price probably contributed to the faster pace of play. We came in at just over 4 hours on a picture-perfect Friday morning. Greens rolled true; the bunkers had consistent sand and the course featured tight fairways. On the down side, the grass was a bit thin and the layout was pretty ho-hum. Staff was friendly, though I didn’t look at any amenities.

Staff was very friendly, greens were in great shape. Fairway turf was not up to par for a $150 round, IMO.

Best greens I've played on this season. Multiple fairways edges were covered in pine branches from maintenance. That probably could have been handled better. Layout was good but not great (a few memorable holes). Pace of play was excellent. Staff was excellent.

The greens were in great shape and the layout is fun. As for the rest of the course, fairways and rough were very thin. I get it’s a little early in the season, but the rates don’t reflect that. They are doing a lot of tree maintenance which is great but when they are chain sawing and wood chipping on the hole you are playing on and within 30 feet of you most would consider that very distracting, let alone poor etiquette. This was on 3 different holes. Pace of play was great and staff was friendly. If we hadn’t gotten the hot deals rate of $85, I would have been very disappointed with the course for $130+.
