Course was in decent condition! Guy working at the bag drop off and in the clubhouse were nice. Pace of play was pretty good- all around good , challenging course - they did have a bev cart girl as well and a bar and place to eat inside!
First time playing this course. The person running the desk was friendly and helpful. The low rating is due to our foursome constantly being pressed by single golfers. We had a tee time of 0830 on a weekday there was no starter we were playing appropriate pace however every time we looked back there was a single golfer. We felt obligated to allow them to play through. This is fine for maybe one or two but this happened at least a half dozen times. The course was in decent shape for a green fee on the higher than average side. No water coolers on the course. Maybe I expected a bit more from a golf course such a fine reputation.
Baytree National Golf Links in Melbourne, Florida, has been undergoing a fantastic transformation! Since the promotion of a Very Educated superintendent, A genius assistant superintendent a new skilled mechanic, and a dedicated grounds crew, the course has seen remarkable improvements. The team has been working tirelessly, fertilizing the greens and fairways, repairing and optimizing the irrigation system, and fluffing and reshaping the bunkers to enhance the course’s refined appearance. It’s clear that everyone involved is committed to making this course stunning again. The progress is evident, and it’s exciting to see the dedication paying off. Baytree National is on its way to becoming a gem in the area once more—well worth a visit!
I booked a tee time by phone for 9:52 July 2 and after I booked it the person I was talking to said green fees were $65. This did not match the price on THEIR website, which was $39.99. After I told the person this they said I could be subject to paying green fees if I cancel. I’ve now reached out to the clubhouse via the contact function on their website to explain what happened. Update: no response from the course. The person I was paired up with told me he only paid $40, compared to the $69.95 I ended up paying at the course. The person in the pro shop had one of the worst attitudes I’ve ever encountered at a golf course as well. What a dishonest, horribly run organization. Steer clear of this place. The call center is also a major issue. I don’t know why they would pay for this service as it only creates communication inefficiencies, especially when a “contact person” at the course won’t pick up.
If you enjoy a 6+ hour round of golf, this course is for you ! If you can appreciate the rudest most incompetent pro shop staff (Jim) this course is for you ! If like a practice range that hits off sand (even though turf is all around the ropes), this course is for you. If you totally understand why a miller lite bottle is $7.50, this course is for you. If you want to be spammed several times a week to have a wedding or outing there, this course is for you. 30 years of golfing and I do believe it is the most poorly run and obnoxious course I have ever been on.
