Very Nice Destin area Course - Just Across Mid Bay Bridge

Very nice course & very fair rates on Golf Now … the course is in very good condition. The course is very picturesque as easy to find. The greens are a bit faster than most courses in Destin .. well worth the price .

Always a good option on the Bayou

RB is a great option when looking for golf in the Destin area. Nice layout, pace of play is difficulty very good, greens are fast, a little bumpy and good value. We had lots of rain and no issues.

Good, but overrated

We made the drive to Niceville from the beach to play this course, because of the price and high rating (4.6 or higher). While it was fun, many of the reviews were exaggerated. Some said "immaculate", and that's not even close to accurate. It's like a nice park course. The greens were the best part and it didn't have any major weaknesses, but immaculate? Cmon. Long story short, we thought we had found an inland hidden gem, and while it's a good course in good shape, it's not any better than the Sandestin or Destin courses that are rated lower (more in the 4.2 range). Still, for $70 it was good value and a good time. Just temper your expectations.

Great course but

This is one of my favorite courses in the area and I play it about once a month. The course is always in good shape the greens were rolling great and fast but this time a couple of the tee boxes needed some work. Number 10 white tee box has holes and since it’s small it’s hard to find room for your feet without stepping in a hole.

Bring your bug spray.

Love the course and it’s always in good shape. I’ve played there many times and this was the first time that I had to deal with biting flies. Maybe they haven’t sprayed lately.

Fall Fun

Excellent course and layout, but keep your ball in the fairway! With the approaching fall, courses in the area tend not to cut the rough outside of the fairway. Therefore, it gets a little thick and your ball nestles down in the bermuda rough making it challenging to get out. Otherwise, the course is in very good shape. A fun course to play with many elevation changes.
