Indian Bayou Golf Club

Indian Bayou Golf Club: Located in close proximity to several other excellent golf courses in Destin, Indian Bayou is one of the best value, surprise packages on the Emerald Coast - here you'll find 27 holes of challenging, enjoyable golf, occupying a predominantly natural setting - this excellently maintained layout comprises the equally impressive Seminole, Choctaw and Creek nines - although the terrain is essentially flat, you'll be confronted by plenty of excellent mounding and bunkering around the greens, as well as small lakes and ponds flanking several fairways - wetland carries also play their part, especially on the tight and testing middle section of the Creek course - all three nines contain a mix of tree-lined holes with others that are more open - some would argue that the most scenic combination includes the longer and more open Seminole-nine in combination with the predominantly tree-lined Choctaw - however to sample the most open terrain and the most tightly tree-lined, you need to tee it up on the Creek course - the 5th (Creek) and 6th (Seminole) are the pick of the par-3s, one or two of the others lacking any appreciable wow factor - unobtrusive housing (plus an equally unintrusive aerodrome) skirt a few stretches of the course perimeter, leaving you to relax and enjoy the undoubted parkland pleasures of Indian Bayou, not the least of which is applying your putting skills on some of the best greens on the Emerald Coast.
