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.

Always a pleasure
Course in good condition. I felt the greens could be better, but overall, they were pretty fair. Will continue to play there.
Not to expectations
This was my first time playing this course and it has so much potential! The layout is good with some holes that are challenging. However, the course is not groomed regularly - it appeared to not have been mowed for a couple of days. The grass was over-grown on the tee box, the greens looked good but we’re super slow with no breaks due to the grass not being cut, and crab grass is apparent. Wouldn’t recommend this course to an avid golfer, but it’s good for someone who wants to play a decent course for a low price ($60).
Big improvement
Since that last time I played here, which has been a while, course conditions have really improved. Worth the price.
This course was demanding off the tee but a fun challenge!!
Loved the setup. The course allowed you to play many different clubs and forced you to play golf not just go for it. If you played smart you could keep a good score going.
The greens were really nice but other than that the course was rough. The tee boxes weren’t cut. Just not a well maintained course.
Would play again
First time playing here and I have to say, it was a good course overall, just some minor glitches. Like on Hole 3 and 7, we were told that it was cart path only but the car path ended 100 yards from the tee box and I didn't know where the rest of the cart path was. Needless to say, I had to drive in reverse a couple of times. I would like to play again when we don't have standing water in the fairways and the bunkers have been fluffed (compacted when we played).
A delight
Probably the best public course conditions in the Pensacola area right now...go play!
Course was not in prime condition because of a lot of rain lately but it was OK.
Beautiful course
Our first time to play here, and loved it!! A very challenging course lots of water and bunkers but very playable. I’m an average golfer but lost 3-4 balls in the 18 but it was from my bad shots!! With all the recent rain the fairways and greens are in immaculate shape. And carts have GPS !! Staff was very friendly and helpful, nice driving range and 2 putting greens Overall a great experience!!
This course is a bargain
First time playing this course and it was a good experience. The layout is nice with a fairly even mix of easy, average and difficult holes. Overall however, the course is fair. The tee boxes, fairways, bunkers and greens were all in good condition with the latter being consistent throughout the whole course. The staff was very friendly. Only negative encountered was slow play on the back nine which is what I had read about in reviews. Played the front nine in just under two hours but two and a half hours on back nine. With the slow play on the back and hot conditions with little shade to be had, it got a little uncomfortable. Will play the course again however. I strongly recommend it.
Great time
I played this course twice while on vacation. Loved it both times. The course was in great shape. Loved the warm up facilities. Nice large putting green and a really nice chipping green with a sand trap to hit out of as well. Best value near Gulf Shores.
Golf at Perdido Bay
Value was excellent and course layout was fun. Pace of play was good and we enjoyed our day
Good value
Had played a couple of weeks ago, and the back nine got really backed up. No issues today, perhaps some event or something. Greens rolled great, tee boxes are in good shape and fairways are lush. Sand traps, and there are more than a few, are not as good, though they are well maintained. Redo those things and this would be a resort style course! Enjoyed it!
