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.

This place is going down.

I have played here a lot over the years and this place is trending downward. Uptight people in the pro shop. At one time I aways saw regulars at the bar/dining area, place is empty now. The tee boxes are dead rotten grass. They charged me $25 for my wife to ride in the cart. I probably will go someplace else and pay more for a better course. Even the marshal has to give you a 15 minute lecture before you can tee off, then yells you folks need to get going...

A++ course

I’ve become a regular here at Perdido bay GC. I play here every weekend and there’s no where else I’d rather be. The staff are very friendly, the prices are very affordable for military members such as myself, and the conditions are always good. Greens are kept in really nice shape always. The wildlife you see here is incredible. You will see deer, gators, ducks, squirrels, and other friendly creatures throughout your round. I suggest this course to anyone who is thinking about playing here!

Beware!

I posted this out to a staff member after playing: there is a sand rake adjacent to one of the green-side bunkers on # 11 which has a handle made of fiberglass. Unfortunately I chose this one to rake the bunker, and got a fistful of tiny glass fragments, like splinters, in my hand. PLEASE THROW THIS RAKE IN THE TRASH before someone else gets the same experience as me. Thanks!

Great course

Played Perdido for the first time and enjoyed it alot. Challenging lay-out, honest fairways, nice greens, and enough hazards to keep you focused. Played solo mid-day during the week and was not held up at all. I would play it again.

Challenging course

Enjoyed playing Perdido for the first time. Great layout and good challenge. Enough water and tall grass to require staying in fairways. Greens recently aerated but not bad overall. Look forward to playing again now that I am familiar with the hazards.

Great value for well maintained course

Course was in excellent condition, especially for mid August. First time playing Perdido Bay, pleasantly surprised by this “user friendly” golf course. Wide fairways, challenging water hazards and pot bunkers made a memorable round of golf. Our golfers skill levels ranged from veteran to beginner yet all had nothing but positive reviews. Only negative criticism would be the fairways needed to be cut shorter and greens were slow.

Excellent older course

This course was obviously at one point a leading course in the area. Great former golfers played the Pensacola Open when it was played there. The thought of Jack Nicholas, Arny, Watson, Jerry Pate and many others competing on this course is pretty cool. I played the tips. I recommend playing the tips. It gives you a fair test of golf. For the money I thought it was a great deal and the course was in good condition. I highly recommend it.
