Perdido Bay Golf Club
About
Perdido Bay Golf Club has hosted several notable players including Jack Nicklaus, Tom Kite, and Curtis Strange. It also formerly served as the site to the Pensacola Open for a decade-long stretch and while it may not be host anymore it still preserves its integrity as a challenging, championship course. The golf course is long and narrow, rewarding both distance and accuracy. Although it is mostly flat there is some strategic mounding that causes tricky lies throughout. Perdido Bay Golf Club's fairways are flanked by multiple cuts of rough and the greens are large and undulating. Many of the greens, as well as the tees, are also elevated. In addition to the golf course, there are also extensive practice facilities that include a large driving range, putting green, chipping green, and greenside and fairway bunkers.

Poor course conditions
Fairways have a lot of bare places, some were under repair. The greens were not consistent, a few much slower than others and a few with grassy weed imbeaded in the green itself. Pace of play, well 5 hours and 12 minutes for 18 on a Thursday midday T time. Twice we had Marshalls stop by and apologize and stated they would speed up the pace of play, which we never saw. I may play here again but maybe wait until late fall and see if they make improvements. Looking forward to improvement, this is a fun course to play.
5th Time Playing Here
We come down every year for a golf trip and have put this course on our list. The greens were a little shaggy and slow but they were going to be punching them the following day. We had a great time. Weather was perfect and the staff there are great. We will play here again in the future.
Condition
Fairways have a lot of ground under repair areas, bunker conditions changed every hole and the greens have a lot of weedy areas and different grasses.
bad greens
the greens were very slow. really had to pound the ball to get it roll.
Good Value
Good Value while on Vacation. Great layout, keep the drive out of the water that comes into play on a lot of holes and you will enjoy the round!
Awesome course
Course is in great condition. Greens were perfect.
Enjoyed the Round
Greens are true. Water ate my lunch. Will play again
Needs alot of work
Very disappointed with this course. Greens were ok, but if you missed a green, you were chipping off black dirt. Same in the fairways. Almost every fairway we had to move our ball to find green grass/weeds to hit from. I realized there hasn't been much rain lately, but water them then. We payed $90, expected a bit more
In Need
Course is interesting enough and challenging but is in need of some TLC. Greens rolled ok but were rough in places.
Great layout
I’m a 5 handicap. Tee to green this course is a great layout. Fairways have plenty of grass with hardly any bad lies. Bunkers are decent. Very ample fairways, but lots of water challenges sometimes making a driver not the best choice of club off the tee. Greens have excellent coverage with very little poa annua. To me greens are the single most important variable that can make a difference between a course being average, when everything else is great, or great when everything else is average. These greens have some spots of common Bermuda mixed in with what I speculate is a hybrid dwarf Tifton Bermuda and could be really great with just a little extra work. There are spots of common Bermuda mixed in with the Tifton. It makes those parts of the green very grainy and affects not only break but the roll. In other words, inconsistent. I love the layout, the people are warm and welcoming. Get rid of the common Bermuda, verti-cut the greens, and you’ll have a course that’ll make my top 5 in the Flora-Bama area. Still a fun course. 4 stars.
Nice Course - Water Everywhere
Very nice course and easy to play (if you hit it straight, of course). Fun to play with friends and family.
All around great experience
Everything about this facility was impressive. The range was wide open and there were multiple chipping and putting greens, avoiding crowding. The Marshall/Starter got us out on time and we played without delay for the whole 18. The tees greens and and fairways were all in great shape. There were plenty of trees and water making the course challenging. Green side bunkers made accuracy around the greens important but the sand in the traps was soft and deep allowing for realistic bunker shots, not skipping along the hard sand like other courses. We had a great outing.
Very nice course, .
nice greens but were sliwer than usual. Was very windy.
