Unlike many other courses in the state, Scenic Hills Country Club sprawls across a scenic landscape of rolling hills. In addition to the dramatic elevation changes throughout the course, the holes are sharply framed by towering pines that line the fairways. The holes play to generous putting surfaces that provide a variety of hole placements, but its best to play to the middle of the greens since there are strategically placed bunkers guarding all of the greens. Water hazards also come into play on six holes, but they require only minimal forced carries. Scenic Hills C.C. opens with what is arguably its most challenging holes. The par-4 hole plays downhill to a green that is not only protected on both the left and right with bunkers, but there is also a steep-faced bunker that is not visible from the fairway.

Course undergoing work, but great value

Played as a mixed 4 ball. We knew course was undergoing work. Straight forward course with little difficulty. Fun for all levels. Staff very friendly also.

Greens under repair!

Everything was great and well maintained. The only setback was the number of greens that are under repair. I am sure once those greens are up the course will set up nicely.

Good tee to green ...

Greens very "splotchy" and had just been sanded. I assume new grass coming in. However, they were still pretty fast and rolled true. Paid a very cheap rate so it didn't bother me that bad. No one in clubhouse mentioned the condition of the greens (of course).

Challenging and good value for a public track.

I like the way the course sets up. Challenging but fair. It has a good bit of slope which forces one to think a little more about club selection and trajectory.
I have played this course in the past where the greens have been immaculate. Although the greens are relatively fast (9-11) they are bare in spots and grainy and inconsistent over most of the course. I will continue to occasionally play here because of the track layout.
The greens right now on a scale of 1 to 5 are about 2.

Slicers Beware!

Great course, but you better be straight! Houses everywhere that closely align the fairways. Course was in great shape, except that the greens had just been aerated. However, staff was quick to provide a discount voucher for later in the summer. Staff was exceptionally friendly, from the clubhouse to the bar area. Great service. Cold water frequently available throughout the course. Very satisfied with the visit to Scenic Hills.

Very nice course, good staff, slow members

Played this course twice on my vacation in Pensacola. Enjoyed the course both times. Decent practice facilities - good chipping/putting green, decent turf on the driving range, but the range balls desperately need to be replaced. Staff was very friendly and accommodating, including giving us a discounted rate on our rounds. The fairways were in very good condition, and the greens played firm and fast. The course is lined by houses, but most of the holes have a built-in widening of the fairway about where your drive would end up to catch the occasional miss to the left or right. You can tell that some of the original bunkering has been filled in, but the greens are still well-guarded by sand, which was in good shape as well.

The only real negative was that the course appears to have a number of "regular" fivesomes, most in their own individual electric carts, during the weekdays. These fivesomes pretty well choke the course, and don't appear to allow others to play through. We ended up skipping holes to get around these golf-cart blockades. We encountered these groups (different golfers) on both of our rounds.

Great Shape...but LIGHTNING GREENS

Fairways are in great shape, though the tee boxes could use a little more work and updating (range markers at the box). The greens are in great shape, but are VERY FAST. Be ready for a challenge to keep the ball on the green. I'll be going back.

The course offers some challenging holes but overall a mid range handicapper would still enjoy this course

I've been playing this course on and off for the last 35 years, there has been periods of time I haven't played for several years. In the last three years I've played this particular course frequently. Rick and his staff had been extremely friendly, but I do noticed a slight deterioration on the maintenance and condition. This course was recently sold to the University of West Florida, hopefully golf course conditions will improve. I will continually use Goff now.com. When I am in Pensacola Scenic Hills will be my first choice.

Excellent staff, course in o.k. condition.

Was very pleased with the staff at the course. I have played this course before and been met with less than friendly proshop employees. Even had my tee time given away because i did not check in 10 minutes before my tee time. not very nice. The course was in o.k. condition but was lacking a few things to make it a truly beautiful course. Bunkers needed some attention and the fairways had not been mowed in a few days.

Course in Great Shape - Challenging but Fun

I have played here a few times over the past few months, and the course is currently in great shape. Greens are fast and can be quite a challenge. Some tee shots require creativity/shaping to execute well. Got in a round of 18 in just under three hours playing on a weekday in a twosome.

great value at $20-30.

Well maintained course with very fast greens. Nice selections of tee boxes to fit the difficulty to your game. Two nearly 90 degree doglegs I didn't like. Will play again.
