While Indian Bayou Golf Course doesn t garner the press of other higher profile courses in Destin, Florida, it s a true hidden gem in the heart of town. A tee time to play this semi-private course rewards golfers with a challenging round suitable for any skill levels. Indian Bayou Golf Club has appeared on Golf Advisor s list of Top Courses in Florida and enjoys a reputation for its excellent layout and superb playing conditions. Though the course, an Earl Stone design that dates back to 1978, is just a half-mile from the Destin Executive Airport, mature trees envelop the holes and provide a tranquil atmosphere. The bulk of the holes at Indian Bayou Golf Club play in secluded corridors with no distractions, as the houses that dot the perimeter of the playing field are set back and obscured from the action. Four sets of tee markers extend the routing from 5,226 yards to 7,078 yards against a par of 72. Additionally, the scorecard lists two combo teeing options, further ensuring that everyone can play from an appropriate yardage. You ll find numerous dogleg holes here. Because of all the trees, Indian Bayou Golf Club puts a premium on accuracy. Though water comes into play on nine holes, there are no forced carry shots over water. The most memorable tests of the round are the par-4 16th, a long, hard, dogleg-right with water in play on the right from the landing area all the way to the green, and the par-5 18th, a strong dogleg-right with water on the right that pinches in by the front of the green and also wraps behind the putting surface. The hindering prevailing wind always makes this finishing hole play long. Indian Bayou Golf Club s greens add to the fun of the game--they vary in size and shape and feature lots of undulations. Practice facilities include a driving range and putting green. The club s lounge and bar serves typical golf course fare. Indian Bayou Golf Club isn t the best known golf course in Destin, but a tee time here consistently delivers one of the best public golf experiences you can enjoy in the Southwest Florida.?
