Briar Bay Golf Course, opened in 1975, is an affordably priced executive course that stretches out over 30 acres. The course presents challenges for all players, beginning to advanced. The layout features elevated greens that are small and fast, narrow fairways that are protected with bunkers. Water hazards also come into play on a few holes. Although it is located near a residential area the course promises an interesting layout that goes in every direction. Briar Bay Golf Course facility lacks some of the amenities of a private club, but they do boast a practice green and a clubhouse.

Totally disorganized

So disorganized improperly run. Walked out and never played. It took too long to get to the first tee after our booked tee time.

First Time Playing

Didn’t even play

Made a tee time at 10:00am for 11:20am. I arrived at 11:00am now mind you I’m a scratch golfer so I know what I signed up for. Normally playing courses like the Trump, Biltmore, Shulas. Melreese, this isn’t even the shadow of any of those places.

None the less, I approach the window and asked for my tee time. I tell them 11:20am. She says well your gonna have to wait, and side note your not going out alone… no worries I’ll wait till exactly 11:20am not a problem.

She then says, do you wanna walk, now mind you I’ve been walking since I was 1 year old so the answer was no. So continue waiting. The quality of players that play here are the people who basically have never swung a club in their life as she proceeds to ask why it’s so slow, she notices one group who is on their 3rd stroke each and they haven’t even passed the ladies tee.

Any who, 11:46am I’m on my way home. Didn’t even touch my clubs I did however make all 3 practice putts on the green so emotional support +1 for the front 9
