aaronmafia· 5 years agoHad a great start. Got to hole 7 and the basket was directly behind a building, not a very smart layout for that one. Then I couldn't locate Hole 8s basket or teepad. Walked around looking for it 20 minutes before calling it a day. I would suggest arrows pointing to the next teepad, possibly some signs at the teepads. At hole 7 there were tees very close by for like 15 and 17, but 8 was nowhere to be found. Maybe ill give it another chance before I fly out in a couple days.
Zhaoming Guan· 4 years agoIt's a nice park but they closed the playground before sunset even though it states sunrise to sunset. Guess the rec aide did not want to stay because he told us it changed to sunrise to twilight. That a first, very creative.
Dawn Pike· 6 years agoProfessional staff and awesome workout at Bay Oakes! Beautiful and clean Facilites. Water aerobics is a great mix of aerobics, strength training, cardio, and yoga. Great music of all genres, instructor is knowledgeable and highly trained, 5 star recommended!
Harold Macks· 6 years agoGreat park, weight room is nice, no power rack but adequate.
Missy F· 9 months agoIt’s a nice gym, however the gym should be open earlier and it should be open Saturdays.
