The Nicklaus Course at Bay Point4701 Bay Point Rd., Panama City, Florida 32408The Nicklaus Course at Bay Point is the first and only Nicklaus Design course in Northwest Florida. This award-winning course was formerly known as Lagoon Legends (one of the toughest and most challenging courses in America). The course was redesigned and renovated from 2004-2005 and re-opened under its new name, on September 17, 2005. The Nicklaus Course opened to rave reviews and was named by Travel + Leisure Golf as one of the most worthy redesigns and notable debuts in the state of Florida. It was also a finalist for the “2005 Renovation of the Year” by Crittenden Golf Inc. The Nicklaus Design Course is truly of epic proportion. It measures more than 7,000 yards with a slope rating of 143 and a course rating of 75.3.
The layout features “illusionary” bunkers that are strategically placed to tempt golfers through a “risk/reward” scenario and uncharacteristic elevation changes that are unique to Northwest Florida. Many holes are quite memorable. Hole No. 17 features a green design reminiscent of a “fish bowl,” where the green is actually recessed below the surrounding landscape, creating a challenging semi-blind shot to the green. The signature hole, No. 5 offers spectacular panoramic views of the Grand Lagoon and St. Andrews Bay. Awards & Accolades: 4 stars by Golf Digest 2006/07
