Reviews for Bay Point Golf Club in Panama City, FL
Absolute worst golf experience of my life. Charging full price for 18 temporary greens is ridiculous. I never would have booked... if I had known that all 18 greens were under construction. The temp greens are literally a shaved spot on the fairway 50 yardsshort of the regular green with an eight inch pvc pipe in the ground for a cup. All of the staff were very nice with theexception of the marshal which seemed to be on some sort of power trip. He was rude and aggressive from the start. If you arelooking for a good golf experience go somewhere else. I would have giver them zero stars if possible but one star is the lowestrating it allowed. Read more
Very challenging course despite its condition. Definitely needs some Maintenance. Lots of water and sand. A few holes had views... of the lagoon which were nice. Some Fairways had dead grass it appeared. Most of the sand traps had grass growing in them andcould more sand. Temporary greens are set up which was not even worth the discounted rate for the greens being out of service.Very very slow and hard to putt on most of them. I?m sure this course is much much better If all the above was in bettercondition. Beverage cart was out and about. Staff was friendly and amazing. Free bag of range balls before tee off was nice too.Keep up the hard work! You have a course with a lot of potential to be 5 stars one day! Read more
The Resort is beautiful and love that it is quietly tucked away and has its own private Island. The Resort has a lot of... amenities they offer, but did not take advantage of any of them. They even offered Free Chair Massages! The food was deliciousduring lunch and dinner, but the breakfast was not so good. A cup of coffee and breakfast sandwich was $22. My husband put thesandwich in the microwave to heat it up and when he took a bite, it was still frozen in the middle. The guest rooms arebeautifully decorated, but the beds are very firm. We prefer very soft beds, so we woke up with sore shoulders and hips. We alsolike more pillows, which you only get 4 to a king bed. It was a little bit of a hassle to get extra pillows. House keeping wasvery helpful and nice, but when we tried to contact the front desk, no one would answer. I called 3 x?s from the room and thendecided to take the cordless phone to the port holes in the corridor on level 3 and called 2 more times as I watched through theport holes. To my surprise, 2 guest service members were standing there at the desk ignoring the ringing phone. I would have tosay that the incident upset me and if I could have spoken to a Manager about the Guest Service employees that evening, I wouldhave. Overall, the experience was good. The Resort is beautiful and has always been one of our favorite places to stay? justminus the firm bed and the 2 guest service employees. Read more
Wish I read the reviews before booking. $139 with this course condition is theft. Every green was awful. Not only was it because... of the greens, but in the middle of my round, one of the employees decides to cut me off midway thru 16. He has 6 young kidshanging off all sides of the golf cart. Instead of letting me just continue playing, I sat in the fairway for 27 minutes waitingfor the kids to finish each of their 15 shots. When I finally get to the green and assume the greens couldn?t be worse, you cansee where the kids were stomping in a 10? radius around the hole. I finally get past this group and get to 18 and it?s the samething. I paid $139 for the worst greens I?ve ever played and waited an hour for lessons to be taught in the middle of my round.Only reason for the 2nd star was bc of the starter and cart girl. I will be forwarding the same sentiments to NicklausCompanies as I?m sure they?re not aware of this course disrespecting their name. Read more
I really like this course. The layout is great and the staff has been awesome both times I have been there. We got a hot deal so... we only paid $75 as compared to the $95 or more it could be. It really isn't anywhere worth that price right now. Theconditioning was truly terrible when I recently played here on vacation. Every single green had dead spots. The grass that wason the greens was inconsistent hole to hole so speed varied a lot depending on the hole I'm sure the staff is doing the bestthey can with what they have. Hopefully they can get things moving in a better direction soon because it could be an awesomeplace to play. Read more
Tee boxes a bit shabby. $95 for 18 is a little pricey for conditions. Staff was nice, carts were great. Great scenery on 4 and... 5. Went back and hit balls on the range on Friday. Read more
Awesome course! Has some challenging holes and some very scenic views. The entire staff was very friendly and the overall... experience was great! The course was in solid shape and the greens were rolling well. I will definitely plan another trip to goback and play a round in the future. Love the entire vibe of the whole area. Definitely recommend! Read more
Staff was exceptionally friendly upon arrival and throughout round. The $139 green fee is absurd for this course, however.... Especially since booking a tee time online was $30 less per person, which was lovely to find out after the fact. The front partof the course was in rough shape and shoved in between a lot of traffic and condominiums. Weeds and sand all in the greens.Fairways lacked a lot of grass cover. The views of the bay were nice I guess. The course opens up some on the back 9, but stillwas a very average course as far as play and condition. Would definitely recommend checking out Windswept Dunes instead. It?sabout 45 minutes from PCB, cheaper, in much better condition, and in a more natural setting. Read more
