Winter golf

The greens were slow and bumpy, needed mowing. Understand it is Feb. and weather here can be up and down. Will play again because it is a nice challenge the number 1 and 2 handicap holes will test your skills.

Niceville's Gem

Supremely friendly staff. Played on an extremely busy day (WED.). On Hole-10, Pro Shop Staff came around and made some adjustments to speed up play. He was utterly nice about it. I usually play 18-holes in 3-hrs. I played Rocky Bayou in 4-hr. Greens in beautiful condition. Course has challenges-- plenty of dog legs, hills. Nothing boring about the architecture here. Extremely windy day. First time playing. Lots of water hazards, which I like. All in all, a great value and an exciting course.

Its wonderful!

The staff is at its best! The course is perfect, rarely do women get a decent tee box to hit off of, but this course does! Greens and fairways. Perfect! No problem driving 45 minutes to play this course. Keep up the great work!

fast round

Course was in best condition in years. Greens good and quick. The course was not crowded so played in 3 hours 12 minutes. Fairways are very wide and hazards are limited so course plays quite easy. (I shot my age minus one!)

A must play

If you are a golfer and ever in the Destin area you have to play this course. The layout and quality of this course is excellent. The value for money is off the chart.

It is very easy to get to from the mid-bay bridge.

A nice course with several challenging holes, especially the 18th. The course was in very good shape and the staff was friendly. I would recommend this course.
