Bay Forest

Bay Forest never disappoints. Course is in great condition for this time of year and getting better every week.
Finished in under 4 hours.
Only criticism I have would be that a few of the cart paths need to be fixed.

Bay Forest Delivers Again!

Bay Forest Delivers Again! This golf course consistently delivers a quality golf course experience for the money. The Greens were in excellent condition and overall rolling very fast and smooth. Several areas were dry and firm, as we transition to the growing season these ares are coming out of dormancy. Bunkers were a little ungroomed, however more of just a much needed morning rake job than anything. Overall quite nice playability for the weekend green fee of $49

Good course

I like this course. Greens and fairways are always nice and keep. Staff is always friendly. Course layout is nice even for beginners. I try to play it on hot deals but sometime pay full price which still is not bad. I recommend this course if you around it. Also this course is on my Garmin golf app and watch which is a bonus.

Good as usual

The course is in great shape as usual. Pace of play on the front nine was great but ran into a little bit of backup on the back nine. My only knock on this course is they make you share a cart with someone you get paired up with even though there are plenty of available carts.
