Love the layout, but the condition is sad

I have played here frequently for the last 5 years because I love the layout of the course. However, the condition of the course has severely gone down recently. It was never tour ready, but it is pretty pathetic. The greens were like putting in a backyard, the tee boxes were uneven, and the fairways were covered in weeds and barespots. The price was $25.00, and I know you get what you pay for, but the bottom line is that I would rather pay more money to for this course to make it. We had to basically make a rule that any putt six inches from the hole was good because the conditions were so bad. This place has changed ownership several times, and all promise to improve it. But the fact is, it is built on an old landfill, and has pretty much lived up to being a dump, sadly.

Bay Dunes Review

Cow pasture used for target practice. For the price, it was better to play than go to the range. I play this course during the holidays annually and the greens rarely roll true.

Great course, tough play.

Bit narrow, you will need the golf gods help if you get caught under a tree off the fairway. Ditto if in the deep rough --ball will all but disappear.

Worst course in the United States

I clearly did not perform my due diligence with the review of this course prior to booking and it is my fault. I flew in for the day on business and made a quick reservation...and mistake.

This course should be scraped away and replaced with something else more useful. I could not distinguish the difference from the tee;s fairway, or greens. Fact is i never even used my putter as i have never putted on a fairway before in actual non restoration play. one of the ravines was actually old pieces of asphalt dumped that must have been from the cart path or parking lot, if it was the cart path, they should have at least replaced it with new.

The best thing of this adventure was i now can laugh and carry the story with me of the worst day of my life and why.

Do not play this course unless you are looking to drive off the beaten path and waste your time and money!!

Great golfing experience

We enjoyed our time at Bay Dunes. The course was in good shape, especially considering the amount of rain that this area had this summer.
It is a beautiful course with several moderately difficult holes. Just enough challenge to keep it interesting.
The staff was very friendly and helpful. We felt very welcomed. We will be back!

Good Course for the money

Overall, a good course. Greens need rolling, were bumpy and had crabgrass in places. Only bad thing was there was a six players playing together holding up the hole course. Would've been nice if they weren't so slow.

nice lay out

It had been a while sense I had played this course.
I must say I was surprised to see how much the
course has been improved!
They are still working on the drainage on the course and
the greens were the best I`ve seen. looking forward to playing
again

some great holes on this course.

bay dunes has some great holes with no houses on the course. the back nine has my favorite holes to play in all of bay county. ROLLING fairways around lakes that are challenging . The greens are pretty good too. This is a fun place to play .

Play it Despite its condition

A course that is trying to recover with new ownership. Terrible range, balls, bunkers lacking sand, little real fairway grass but despite it all it's a course with some great holes once you get through the first 4 .
Give it a chance and see what it once was and what it may once again become with dedicated new ownership.

Course in Horrible Condition

We have been playing golf in the Panama city area for
over 30 years and never played Bay Dunes because of
its location. 15 miles from the beach. We decided to play
because of the price. $25. Well,needless to say it is overpriced!
I have never played a course in worse condition which is saying
a lot. I have played over 350 different courses.

nice coarse and in good shape

we paid half price ($17 including cart) online and as such was a great deal
It is a good coarse for any level of golfer. Some of the fairways were open and wide enough for the type of golf we are looking for.

The greens were some of the best we found around.

This is a very nice course. It is challenging at points, but not to difficult for your average amateur. It has an interesting layout, and other than a recent rain making the fairways a little squishy it was a great play.
