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.

Staff was great!

Course was in a good condition especially for this time of year. The only downside to this course was the members of the club. They seem to not like “outsiders”. The staff was very nice and understanding but the members not so much.

Price

We usually play here twice a yr when we go on vacation March/Oct.. We came here originally bc price was very affordable.. This time it cost us just as much as some of the courses in Destin and Sandestin..

This is a 50-60 dollar course… 90+ is just too high..

Thanks

Good course for winter golf

We played this course twice, and 2 other local courses, during our stay in Destin. We used GolfNow for all our rounds.

This course is in good shape, well maintained, even with dry winter conditions. The layout is beautiful and challenging enough for us.

Very decent course

We ere on a road trip and used GolfNow to review the course and the green fees! It's was pretty much what people said. Got paired up with a couple of dudes that were pilots in the Air Force...so when we had to wait on some holes...we had great chats!
