Bay Forest Golf Course

Bay Forest Golf Course is a Public 18 hole golf course located in La Porte, Texas.

The course opened for play in 1988 and was designed by Jay Riviere.

Par for the course is 72. From the back tees the course plays to 6,756 yards. From the forward tees the course measures 5,094 yards. The longest hole on the course is # 14, a par-5 that plays to 542 yards. The shortest hole on the course is # 17, a par-3 that plays to 168 yards from the back tees.

Watch out for # 18, a 452 yard par-4 challenge and the #1 handicap hole on the course. The easiest hole is # 6, a 171 yard par-3.

The layout winds through a natural bayside landscape, complete with stately trees and bayou-fed waterways and large, well-bunkered greens. Water hazards come into play on sixteen holes. Generally, the course plays longer than the yardage indicates because of the prevailing winds blowing from off the Gulf of Mexico.
