Bay Point Golf Club, Meadows Course, CLOSED 2018

Bay Point Golf Club is a Resort, 36 hole golf course located in Panama City Beach, Florida. The facility has two 18-hole golf courses. They are The Meadows Course and The Nicklaus Course.

Designed by Willard C. Byrd, the Meadows golf course first opened for play in 1973 with a redesign in 2004.

The Meadows Course at Bay Point is a classic old Florida layout. The course weaves through the mature oaks and pines of the Bay Point Resort community with numerous strategically placed bunkers and water features. 

The spectacular views over St. Andrews Bay, the narrow fairways, challenging doglegs, an abundance of wickedly-placed bunkers, and a dozen or so lakes make the Meadows an exciting and, yes, enjoyable day out for high and low handicappers alike. Play it from the back tees, and you’re faced with 6,913 yards of golf, not as long as its sister Nicklaus course, but long enough to test your ability with every club in the bag. Accuracy and astute club selection are paramount to carding a good score.

The 18-hole Meadows course plays 6,913 yards from the tips for a par of 72. The course rating is 73.3, with a slope of 126. The forward tees are set at just over 5,100 yards. 

The Meadows closed in October 2018 after Hurricane Michael ravaged the area.
