Bang for the Buck

If you remember golf the way it was in the 80’s this is your course and amenities level.

This course has been frozen in time!

Bring your rangefinder!

The course wasn’t in very good shape. Greens are slow!

Good Course/Over Priced

We enjoyed the course. In good shape, pretty well maintained. I have played golf at all the well known courses in the US along with many others.

We paid $95 each. It is not a course I will play again for that price. I don’t know, but is this the year around price or just a summer price for tourists??

Vacation golf

We only got to play the front 9 because of rain and lightning. We waited around with everyone else and was told after the rain that no carts could go out. We were looking forward to playing the back nine as we came there because it is different than most Florida courses. It has hills.

Course in great shape! Nice wide fairways.

Just a few minutes from where we were staying. Played with my 15 year old son and got paired up with Ms. Jamie a course regular. Pace of play was excellent, we finished at 4 hours. Weather was perfect! Greens were really nice and fairways manicured well. Will definitely be back when staying near again.

Always A Pleasure

From check-in to the final hole this is our favorite course and well worth the hour drive from Panama City Beach.

We highly recommend it and hope to keep coming back.
