Best course conditions yet

We were scheduled to play the Pines course, but were moved to the Oaks. It was in spectacular condition from tee through the greens. Have played several courses in the area and so far this has been by far the best. Had not played here in a couple years, but we will be back.

Value for your money

Played the Pines and except for a few irrigation breaks the course was in pretty good shape. Pace of play was good and I paired up with 3 very nice gentlemen. Good value for your money for a municipal course. Greens were fine and fairways and tees hag plenty of grass

Best value in the panhandle

Course was in really nice shape - no fancy gps golf carts or clubhouse - but 1/5 the price of several resort courses nearby. My son and I enjoyed it. Staff was also very friendly.

A little bit out of the way - but It’s your money.

Sorry - bad experience at Regatta this week.

Good municipal course

We were on vacation, played the Pines 18 on recommendation from manager. Got a good rate on a website & prices much better than your resort courses in the area. Course had better reviews than other comparable like courses. Nothing plush, greens were thin & sandy. Older course with some good holes. Would go back but may try some of the other courses for comparison.

Lady Day

We play here somewhat regularly. Our round was 5 hours yesterday. Course attendant told us it was lady’s day and they are very slow. 5 hours may be excessive!

Not bad for a municipal course

Good course, little slow, overall better than most local courses (Shalimar Point, Hidden Creek, Tiger Point, Elgin, Seascape, and Scenic Hills)…would recommend avoiding those and head for Fiet Walton….
