Thanks to Golf Now and your reviews we drove a very short distance out of Destins and played this gem of a course.

This is definitely on our list going forward with some high $ courses being removed.

Carts

Ok I love this course and never had an issue before but this time we were told we had to double up in pairs with the cart. The course was not that busy so I don’t understand why this was required especially with COVID. Also the greens were a little slow but not bad.

Great value in Destin

This was my first time on the course. Open fairways in really good condition. Clean divots and good lies. The staff was great and I really like the practice facilities (range, putting green and chipping green). Greens were firm and fast. And the cold water bottles along the way were a great treat on a hot day. The only thing that kept me from rating the course in excellent condition was the bumpy texture of the greens (apparently still recovering from aeration). Wonderful and playable layout! Only course in Destin where I didn’t lose a single ball! Great value for the money. I will definitely be back!

Bang for the buck!

We really enjoyed playing here. Fun layout with plenty of room to recover from miss hits. Greens

were big and the putts rolled fast. For the money, excellent value.

Love this course

The course is is excellent shape and the greens are fast. Plenty of challenging holes on the course, uphill, downhill, water hazards, undulating greens, this course has it all. The staff are very friendly too.

Great day on the best course around

Used the practice green, chipping green and range prior to my round. All were in great condition. Only improvement I would like is if there were more "practice balls" included. The pace of play was really good for how busy the course was. The cold water bottles every few holes were appreciated. The fairways, tee boxes and greens were all in great condition. Greens were firm and fast. All the staff were friendly at the pro shop, and had a fun conversation with one of the course maintenance employees while on the practice range who gave me advice on how to play the greens that day. Will definitely be back to play again. I play many courses in the region and this is the best course to play for the price around.

Good deal

Wide, forgiving fairways and decent sized greens. The course is in very good condition, from tee through green. We drive 1.5 hours to play this course and have never been disappointed in the condition.
