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!

Great front 9. Back 9 was also nice but not as good as the front. Course was challenging and one of the nicer ones in the area.

Awesome 11 holes that I played.The first 5 are very interesting due to all the water hazards. Nice driving range and putting area. The starter was very informative about the course and what tees to play.. What I was not told is how close the starting time were and after 11 holes in @ 2.5 hours of play our whole group decided to opt out and call it quits even though at a steep rate!! I would think at those rates there would be more time between flights or someone to police the slow playing people!!

T-times stacked on top of each other. Had people in front of us and behind us the whole time. Also there starter wasn’t present and being a guest didn’t know where to go. Bad experience. If you want to play good golf go to windswept

Best and most challenging course in the Panama City area.

I was back in the 30A area and decided to give this another go. The customer service was outstanding today, and the course was in terrific shape. They have won the 5th star for my review, and Ill definitely be back!Really enjoyed the Nicklaus course today, however they have a customer service issue. The lady in the pro-shop was polite and courteous, as was the young man who helped when I finished at dusk, but the older guy who initially loaded my clubs in the cart should be doing something which doesnt require engaging the public. If it were just about the course I would definitely give it 5 stars, but customer service matters, and I would rather not have someone who obviously hates either their job, other humans, or both be the ambassador at the start. I told him I was ok getting my own bag, but he still jerked it out of my trunk, threw it onto the cart half-ass, and let three of my clubs slide out of the bag, leaving them behind in my vehicle. After I fixed that, I smiled and asked him to point me to the first hole, he acted as if I were stupid for not already knowing. Again, the course was outstanding, and it was great to play one which Nicklaus designed. Good roll on the fairways, tight well-kept greens, interesting water hazards, and a couple proper restroom facilities. Not as hard as I expected, but still challenging enough. I would say Id play it again or its sister course (The Meadows), but theres so much golf in the area without having to deal with a jerk, Im not sure I will make the 45 minute drive to deal with that guy again.

This is a great place to go if you are a golfer

Beautiful course. Very friendly staff . Worth the everything.. play thos course

Terrific! Beautiful well maintained course, and the pace of play was perfect. Never felt rushed or held up. It is a challenging course with good bunker placement. Well worth the money and would definitely recommend.

Great golf course! Challenging but fun, not unreasonable. Hole 5 is a tester! Staff is super friendly. Starter was especially helpful in telling us things we needed to know. Recently aerated greens and they are sandy but will still roll pretty well. I will definitely play here again!

It was a pleasure working with Bay Point in planning a golf trip. They had friendly staff who loaded our clubs on clean and fully charged Golf Boards that were lined up and ready to go when we got there. Both courses offered a great variety that made the challenge very enjoyable. We hope to be making another trip soon!

Great course, friendly staff.

A Nicklaus designed course so it is a challenge but has plenty of bail out areas for the high handicapper or the event shot.

The course was wellManaged and very fun to play. Everyone who worked at the course were very nice and helpful. A lot of fun. Beautiful course.

First time golfing in Florida the course was nice and staff was spot on cant wait to come play at peak of season. For sure a course to play.

Nice golf course. But not worth $100. Worth playing once for the experience, but have played a lot nicer for the price.

Beautiful course, immaculate! People super friendly and courteous to a host of players as we sat out a short storm. Kudos to all for a great experience!

Great layout and customer service, challenging course from the tips

Very pretty

Let me know if Val Blazer is ever looking for a new work place. She would fit in nicely at the Swan and Dolphin Resort in Orlando. Her Kindness and follow up information was very helpful. Thanks Val for making our golf experience at Bay point an enjoyable 18!

Nice course well maintained

What a terrific place to visit & play 36 holes! Meadows course is a tight well maintained course. The Nick course is newer & boasts water in 16 out of the 18 holes. Either course is a challenge & well worth the time.

Stayed here for one night with my family. At first glance there is a thick layer of dust on top of picture frames, and pieces of the bathroom wall is missing. The blankets had stains on them as well. It wasnt until morning when my wife complained that something bit her while reading in bed. Then my daughters started complaining that something bit them as well. My wife started looking around and discovered the bed had fleas in them. Both my daughters who slept in different beds woke up with several bug bites from their toes, up their bodies, and on their necks. Both my wife and I also had bug bites but our reaction to them wasnt as severe. I brought this to the attention of the front desk. The woman we spoke to said they had a long term tenant stay in the same room but they were not allowed pets. This building was pet friendly because the room below us had a dog. Im pretty disgusted with our stay, and I feel bad for my children because the bites not only itch but they hurt.

Just across St Andrews Bay from Panama City, youll find Bay Point Resort and two top-quality and contrasting championship golf courses - the parkland elegance of the tree-lined Meadow course is overshadowed by the usually higher-rated and more expansively roaming Nicklaus course, rated 4-1/2 stars - revamped by the Golden Bear stable in 2005.A layout typically characterised by excellent upkeep, variety, challenge and great Nicklaus design work.

Price was great! Twilight rate of $36 and a junior rate of $25 for my 14 yr old sonThe cart they gave me had no parking brake. That was a challenge. The place was just a mess. Not very organized for a Wednesday afternoon. Garbage cans overflowing, locals darting in and out of fairways, driving reverse through holes and tee boxes with no respect that you’re teeing off. The starter was clueless and confused. The cart girl came around once!! There is no turn, straight eighteen no stopping at clubhouse. When we finished, at 6:00pm, the whole place was locked up tight. No beer after the round, no buying a hat or souvenir ball. Pretty disappointing

Been playing this course for a year and absolutely the best in Bay County. Staff are great and they have great practice facilities. New greens on the Jack Nicklaus course :)

Although we did play the Meadows golf course here, we were most impressed with the tennis center and pro Suzanne. We were,staying at the nearby Marriott Legends that had no tennis. Suzanne introduced us to local members who integrated us into,doubles and a round robin. Thanks Suzanne. And special thanks to Lisa who took care of my husband when he got woozy from the heat.

Awesome golf course aesthetically pleasing great greens. Can play as hard as you want. Or move up enjoy the day and your score!

Great courses, both have character. Nice and friendly staff. Very good value!

Meadows course is narrow but fair and greens are in good shape. Nicklaus course is wider with water hazards on most holes. Greens are fast. Sunday pin positions on Monday! #5 is a bizarre hole. Undulating greens on both courses. Pace of play about 4:15

7/9/18 - For the price you pay to play golf here, you are better off not playing golf in Panama City Beach fl at all. The reviews on here did not live up to the courses hype. I played the meadows course while on vacation and that ran me about 73 dollars, it seemed as if every pond was dried up and in bad shape. There are no scenic holes that grabbed my attention every hole looked generic and simple. The fairways and the starter are about the only two positive things about this golf course. The greens were cut and looked nice from a far but ran very slow. Very disappointed with this golf course and will play Signal hill or Kelly’s plantation on my next visit to PCB. Two stars is generous.

Played in a charity tournament today on the Meadows course. Greens were in good shape but a little slow. Fairways were a little spotty. Biggest problem was when we made the turn, they had started letting other groups tee off in front of us, in the middle of the tournament. To make matters worse, two of the groups they let go were fivesomes! It took 40 minutes to play two holes. I called the clubhouse to complain & they said someone would come out to check. Nobody showed. Definitely will not be playing any tournaments here again.

Beautiful place. Relaxing and I can see retiring and finding a home here

Cheap round, so you get what you pay for. Played the Meadows Course. Fairways have very little grass, so every shot is a tight lie. Greens are good though.

Played the Nikolaus side. Pace of play is slow.Fairways in great shape, some of the greens are struggling.Make sure to bring your own water. There is no water on the course. Only can get water from cart girl. Only saw her 3 times with 2 of them being on 1 & 18.

Great golf course. Friendly staff. Quiet electric golf carts. Highly recommend.

Absolutely amazing course and staff..it was my first experience there but you can bet I will play here every time Im in Panama City! Everyone from the man who brought my cart/got my clubs loaded to the pro shop attendants to the course starter was absolutely top notch..plus the course is beautiful/challenging!

The course was great and the staff were eager to go out of their way.

Beautiful golf course nice proshop. People were very friendly & helpful.

Overall staff was very nice.Course layout was very appealing.Unfortunately the greens were terrible. Very very slow and had been top dressed.

Lovely place to visit. Everything is perfectly done here. Friendly to guests and owners.

Very fun course. Staff and beer girl were nice, beer girl helped me find my ball.

Played the meadows, beautiful views, course in great shape, staff pleasant but not overly helpful, I get that, some folks like to be left alone.

Course is in great shape.

Over the past several years, the Panama City Beach area has really cleaned up its act. No longer is it colleges spring destination for uninhibited college kids. The real estate market is booming, area businesses are rebounding nicely, and the hotel industry is once again beginning to flourish. All is good in Floridas panhandle.And all is good at the Sheraton Bay Point Resort - Panama City Beachs premier golf destination. The resort is situated on historic St. Andrews Bay and is a perfect getaway destination for couples, families and golfers. Yes, golfers. The property, which is home to 36 holes of bay front golf including the panhandles only Nicklaus design, recently underwent a complete remodel of the lodging, restaurants and golf clubhouse and the final results are nothing short of amazing. Sheraton Bay Point is the only AAA 4-Diamond franchise hotel along the Emerald Coast, with 320 sharply appointed guest rooms, 65 of which are one-bedroom suites. Located about a 7-iron away from the main hotel and on the fairway of the Nicklaus Courses 3rd and 6th holes is a collection of golf villas that feature both hotel style rooms as well as one-bedroom suites that can sleep up to four golfers comfortably.On property and a short cart ride away from the hotel are two of northwest Floridas finest golf courses: The Willard Byrd designed Meadows Course and the Nicklaus Course. The Nicklaus Course is the crown jewel at Bay Point and plays 7,152 yards from the back tees with a rating of 74.3 and a slope of 143. Most golfers will be challenged from Tee 2 (6,430/70.7/132) and still leave with a little dignity intact. Ladies will be tested from a distance of 4,974 yards, yet still enjoy themselves.The first five holes of the Nicklaus Course set the tone for your round. The first hole showcases the water that can become your nemesis on 17 of the next 18 holes. Its a dogleg right around a lake that requires an accurate shot off the tee up around the 150-yard marker. From there, youll have a slightly uphill approach to a green protected in the front by two deep bunkers.Number 18 is a great finishing hole and is almost the mirror image of the opening hole. It requires a forced carry over water that plays all the way down the left side, with more of the wet stuff short and right of the green. A tee shot over the water and slightly left of the fairway bunker will leave a short pitch shot into an elevated triangular green protected on all three sides by sand. A great end to a great round.The Meadows Course dates back to 1965 and uses the original 328 Bermuda pushup greens. Theyre still in great shape, a lasting testament to a good grounds crew. The Meadows plays 6,913 yards from the back tees. Tee 2 plays about 550 yards shorter and is still a challenge for most. This course has stood the test of time and can play tough - especially if you tend to spray the ball. Case in point is Number 4, a narrow par 4 (372 yards from Tee 2), slight dogleg right that is the courses #1 handicap. Center or just left of center off the tee is the preferred shot, just be sure to avoid the fairway bunker on the left. From there, trust your club selection into a small, elevated, triangular green protected on all sides by sand.The Meadows also finishes with one of the layouts most memorable holes, a 384-yard (Tee 2) dogleg right par 4 with bunkers on either side off the tee right at the bend. A good drive will leave a mid to long iron into a small green protected on the right with water and sand on either side. Another strong finishing hole.The winter months are a great time to visit the resort and take advantage of everything Bay Point has to offer. And, since Northwest Floridas seasonality peaks in the summer, a great value can be had between January and March.

Thursday evening Prime Rib is the best - reservations required! Fun and friendly

Played the Nicklaus Course, pretty darn good! Best course in the area, great conditions, true greens. Booked on GolfNow for discount!

The staff here are the BEST. So nice. The greens are super nice. Unbelievable views.

Nice layout. Greens were not in good condition. Disappointing!

Very nice course. Lots of trees but the pin placement was fair

Disappointed in the quality of the course; I expected a higher level of care on a course with Nicklaus name attached. The pro shop attendant was efficient and the starter was friendly and even got us off a little early. I was disappointed in that there was no marshalling; two of us followed another twosome that followed a fivesome. The round took five hours; we waited on every shot. There was no water to drink on the entire course and the restrooms were very substandard. The fee was too high for the level of golf experience.Ron BabersMontgomery TX

We LOVE bay point boiz, staff r lit

Best and toughest course Ive played in a while! fairways looked to be 1/2 in. tall

Had a great time. Great course

Double booked my tee time and on the 7 hole I had to quit. When I went to club house to ask why there was people starting on 7th 8th and 9th holes I as told what do you want me to do about it. NOT GOOD. Just got done calling the club house there new line is WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO DO ABOUT IT.

Nice course. People were friendly. Will be back.

Course is super super tight with housing on it. If you’re not an accurate golfer, you’re gonna hit a house or condo.

Worst greens Ive seen in a while. Shouldnt be charging full price for those greens. Signal Hill gives discounts for bad greens. Should consider. You knew

I nice relaxing place to enjoy golf & tennis.

Great course to play challenging but fair

Nicklaus course tough test but beautiful

Outstanding will play it again.

Great place to have fun.

Played meadows course, its ok, but $72 was a little steep for that quality

Nicholas Course is excellent!

Beautiful course, friendly staff

Great course.

Disappointed in the condition of the course but it was the winter season.

Very nice somewhat expensive

Maybe it was because we went at the low time of the year, but the course was in poor shape and though it was a terribly hot and humid Florida day, the cart girl came around only once in our entire 18 hole round.

Beautiful place!

A good course a little expensive
