We played Indian Bayou Country Club twice over Labor Day weekend and could not have been more impressed. The course was in pristine condition, with lush fairways and perfectly manicured greens that made every round enjoyable. The layout is challenging yet fair, offering a great experience for golfers of all levels. The staff was extremely friendly and welcoming, making us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. Pace of play was excellent, and the overall atmosphere of the club is top notch. Indian Bayou is without a doubt one of the best courses on the Emerald Coast. We look forward to returning again soon and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a first class golf experience in the area.

Golf course was in good shape given the time of year. Tee boxes are in good shape. Greens roll true. Only thing I would say is there is not a lot of grass in the rough right now and I thought the range balls were in need of replacing. The staff here is extremely helpful and knowledgeable of the golf course, from the bag drop staff to pro shop workers. I even had a pleasant interaction with a maintenance worker who asked how my round was going. Definitely the friendliest staff in town. This is the best Destin course after playing here for the first time this past week for the value. After our round, the cart guys assisted us in the parking lot with cleaning clubs and helped provide recommendations for lunch. Pro shop had great merchandise selection as well. We will 100% be coming back

We had an 8am tee time this morning for our last day in beautiful Destin. We played Emerald Bay, Regatta Bay, and Gator Lakes this week and Indian Bayou was in the best shape with Regatta Bay a close second, Emerald Bay a close third and Gator Lakes trailing in last place --- it is on the Air Force Base and front nine was pretty rough (back nine was better) and we saw three Gators! Indian Bayou's tee boxes, fairways, and greens were all perfect. The staff were all very nice and provided great customer service! In my opinion the carts need upgraded - but that is minor for us. We ate lunch in the lounge afterwards and we really enjoyed it - it had a comfy 1980's Ft Lauderdale vibe right down to the music! My man had the hamburger steak and fries and I had the turkey club sandwich - both really good and least expensive meal we have had this whole week. If you are looking for a really nice spot to enjoy a beautiful course and some good food afterwards, this place was a very good value for the money!

This course was so awesome! The employees treat you like you’re playing a much more expensive golf course. Plus, the course it self is in amazing condition. The greens are glorious and true, probably the best greens in town! And it was nice to see how much pride the workers took in the course, seeing the edges of sidewalks being trimmed by hand with a stick edger. Plus seeing the workers out laying down new pine needles under the trees. I think this course is underrated, everyone listed off courses for me to play in the area and no one mentions Indian bayou, but Indian bayou is a must play if you’re in the area.

Showed up solo to play a round today. Staff were welcoming and friendly. Course was in incredible shape. Since I was by myself, I was added in with a group of members/locals. They made the round a great experience and welcomed me right in. I could not have asked for a better golf day while down here on vacation.
