Bay Hills Golf Club

No range small putting chipping greens
Tee boxes fairways greens all solid can get a little patchy off the fairways, goose poop on handful of greens was an issue pace wasn’t the greatest but when people aren’t able to warm up before playing kinda expected. Good views would definitely go back

They book a group of 16 which made the pace very slow

Rain has benefited the course. The greens were in good shape. Glad to see the cart path improvements.

Nice course
Less goose poop than usual on course but seriously an excellent value
It's a par 70 with one par 5
Recent renovations to bar deck area very nice and nice greens

I know it is still early in the season and I really like this course, so I am just going to mention some items that need addressing. I am sure the great people at Bay Hills will fix these things.
- greens were recently plugged and seemed sanded so literally UNPUTTABLE, I mean a 10 feet putt took 30 foot swing AND WAS STILL SHORT, LOL
- the bunkers for the most part were all hard pack, so maybe a little new sand would be cool

This was a really nice course, and in great condition as the fairway grass starts to return from being dormant. The pace of play was really painful.

Golfers definitely seemed to be more on the beginner end of the spectrum, with the golfers I was paired with saying they typically shoot 110+. On the first tee box there were 5 carts waiting to go out ahead of us, and we had to wait between 5-10 minutes for the majority of the round.

The course routing (no par 5s on the front nine and only one on the back nine) combined with its relatively short length mean that things don't really start to clear until the back nine. It may make sense for tee times to be further apart than 10 minutes, or to alternate sending groups out on the 1st and 10th holes.

The course also had no water at all out on the course, with all the water stations empty. The coolers were all sitting in a pile at the clubhouse, and clearly have not been used recently. That wasn't great given it was a 75+ degree day.

I would definitely go back for the quality of the course layout, but I would aim to tee off before 8AM in hopes of getting out before the slowest golfers. If this is what it was like midweek, I can only imagine on the weekends.

a great day. Course was cart path only, which made sense but it drained well. The Supt had fun with a few of the pins by placing them on a slight elevation. The staff was great and Sandy is the best cook around. She lightens everyone's day.

Foursome with 3 carts CP only were terribly slow. No Marshall monitoring.

The course is coming along. Just need some warm days and it will be perfect. They have new ownership and the changes they are making are all good ones. Looking forward to playing there many times this year.

Great layout, friendly staff and a good challenge course.

under new management and you can tell. we will be back!

I have to say all of the hard work is starting to come together! I play this course often, the improvements will make the course more appealing for newcomers as well as returning regulars.
