Exceptional cours

Excellent fairways and greens. Nice layout with a few holes that will play better the next time. It is a private club with its own personality, but that only added to experience. Will definitely play again in near future.

Worth the drive from the beach to play this course. They spaced out groups far enough apart that I was never rushed to play my shots and only waited a few times for the group in front of me to clear. Will be back!

This course is very nice

I really enjoyed the layout of this course. It has some beautiful holes around water. It was not to difficult for an average golfer like me. I usually judge a course on how much fun I had playing it, I had a lot of fun. The staff was very kind and made us feel welcome. I would highly recommend this course.

Good course but call first

Course is great, but wish they would have used an aerification alert. Not cool to see the greens covered in sand with no warning.

Perfect Greens

Everything was fabulous. The fairways were plush and green. The greens were fast and perfect, with some difficult undulations. Must be a good green reader and know how to account for the Bermuda grain. The rough is a bit thick, but this time of year, I notice that none of the courses in the FL Panhandle tend to cut the rough. I guess they are letting it thicken up for the upcoming fall and winter. Your ball can settle down which makes it hard to find at times.
