Very Nice and challenging

We enjoyed our round. Course is in very good shape compared to some of the others in the area that are not in very good shape. A lot of holes with different character and it’s a good piece of property closer to Destin.

Wonderful course

Really enjoyed the course; fairways were excellent ball sets up nice for your next shot. Greens were in great shape, not to fast or slow. When putting you always got a true and smooth roll to the cup. Look forward to play it again when I’m in town.
