About
Nature Walk Golf Club, as its name would suggest, sprawls across a scenic landscape blanketed with majestic oaks and Florida pines. The course boasts well manicured fairways as well as immense playability, both of which have been factors in its growing popularity. While the layout may not satisfy golfers looking for monstrous pot bunkers and lengthy par 5s, it does provide a fair amount of challenge. A number of sparkling blue lakes come into play throughout as well as bunkers that closely hug the greens. Nature Walk Golf Club is both gentle enough for beginners while being a great casual round for more seasoned golfers. The warm atmosphere, excellent conditions, and easy of play can be enjoyed no matter what skill level. Golfers can also utilize the extensive practice facilities, which include a driving range, a putting and chipping green, and a pitching green complete with a practice bunker.

Good for what it is
It's a fun laid back course. It's an executive course so it's not a huge course. So it makes you use you irons. Are the greens the best you've ever seen? No. Is the fairway the best you ever seen? No. But for the price you absolutely can not beat it.
Improved
The course was improved from the last time I played there. The greens could be faster and some tees could use more grass, but the fairways were decent.
Like this course
The least expensive round in all of Panama City area. The course greens could use some work. Overall, I’ll keep playing there.
Good cheap par 60 course wish it had some par 5s and more variety on distances for par 3s but definitely a bang for your buck. Pace of play was rough but it’s to be expected from a course with no starter. If you are looking to practice short game this course will definitely help.
Improved
Course has improved over the last few months! It’s looking good! Only complaint is pace of place is always slow. You’ll have people stacked in front and behind you no matter what day or time you’re playing due to many large groups. Staff is always so kind!
Good Beginner Course
Greens were a little rough but it was perfect to play a casual round with family while on vacation. My playing partners don’t play often and they were happy to not be playing somewhere with tons of hazards and long holes. Staff was very courteous and pace of play was good. Overall it was a good executive course.
Fun short code that needs some work
This is what I would consider my home course. It's fun with some drivable par 4s. The greens are in rough shape on lots of holes. If you go into the woods just take a drop because your ball is gone. The pace was very slow in this last trip. 6 carts at the 1st tee. I requested to start on 9 but they were dirtied about a big group that plays every Sunday catching up to me and my son even though we could clearly see the group wasn't even on 8 yet. We were allowed to go to hole 10 and was told not to hold the "Dogfighters" up. It wasn't a problem. We got back around to the front 9 and had to wait at every hole steering at 2. The Marshall came up and seemed to think we were the problem even though my son was only playing a hole here and there and we were waiting on a couple ladies playing 2 balls. He wouldn't try to speed anyone else along, so I wonder why he's even there. If they worried more about the pace of play, stopped treating the Dogfighters like royalty, cleaned up some of the brush at the edges, and fixed he greens this would be a 5 star short course. I hope one day it gets there. I would avoid Sunday mornings if possible. Most of the time the pace is event enough. It's worth a try for the price.
Greens are rough
Nice layout and friendly staff. This is a nice place to knock off the rust if you haven’t played in a while. The greens are really in rough shape. Since it’s an executive course it attracts a lot of newby’s to golf which slows the pace down considerably. Overall a good value for the money.
