Played Bay Point for the first time 11/16/25. What a treat to play and was a shot makers stay on your game track. True Nicklaus design with deep bunkers (large), water, water and more water, and slope throughout to test any level of golfer. I have played over a half dozen Nicklaus courses and this one is not much different… But he nailed the use of signature hole #6. Picturesque and no miss shots allowed. 5 iron 5 iron on 2 shots to a kidney shaped green on the marsh. I failed. I also salute number 4 green with a 6 foot hill to figure out. I came up short to green and had to putt up the hill… Only to have the ball come back down. I actually love it! 4.5.6 are a bit of what you can call “devils elbow” and the. The course lets you breathe on some par 5’s. Nicklaus wants you to score on par 5’s. Never playing before I recommend the blended tee card. Play tee 3 and 4 in the blend. If your a single handicap no need to play this style. Good to see this type of tee alteration in scoring and handicapping. Greens rolled well and were a good challenge. Well worth the money for this gamer. I’ll be back.

Nice layout, challenging, and beautiful. A little rough around the edges, but the greens and main playing areas were in good shape, except a few greens had some poa annua popping through. Golf carts did not have GPS, which is expected if paying $120+, but range balls were complementary.

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 go back and play a round in the future. Love the entire vibe of the whole area. Definitely recommend!
