The course was not in the best of shape and restaurant was closed. The price was right compared to other courses in the area.

Decent Course

Course is in rough shape, but has great potential. Should be much cheaper until conditions are addressed. Greens are awful

Wonderful Afternoon

Loved being out at there. The views were unbelievable and the course played pretty pure. The staff was so kind, informative, and accommodating to my wife and I. 100% worth the money

Pretty rough for the price

Played this course before and it was in very nice shape overall. When we played this last time the greens were in terrible shape for the price. It is listed on golf now for $30 plus dollars, and the fairways needed mowing and the greens had major bare/rough spots throughout the course. I may be back again, but I will call first and see how conditions are.

A suck course

Greens are gone not playable at all, fairways have no grass, tee boxes are scrub and sand. Embarrassing to find this course in GolfNow it should be taken down Pro said they’ve been working on acquiring the course for a year and I told em the best thing they could do is plow it under and start over. When discussing this with her all said was “sorry”.

GolfNow needs to take this course out if system .

Condition

Should be given a heads up on course conditions before paying fees. They have closed two nines and combined one of the remaing. Pace of play fine as not many players.

Course In Transition

The front nine (Bay course) is in rough shape as they transition to a new course configuration and the loss of their driving range. The greens were scalded and the tee boxes were mostly bare. The back nine (Marsh course) was a bit better, but not by much. Hopefully new management will have it back in better shape in a year.

Waste of money

The fairways are in terrible condition, the greens with exception of 2 holes were terrible. So confusing because it is 2 courses in one. Did not enjoy it. For that money I would have definitely went elsewhere

Great Value

Not a bad course, huge distance between holes. You would be crazy to walk it. The greens could use so attention but overall, a pleasant experience. Long drive from Pensacola but I would probably play it if I were in the area.

Not in great shape

Fairways and in particular greens on the Bay Course where in really bad shape. Marsh course was better but overall the course conditions were very disappointing. It was a shame because the staff were really friendly and helpful
