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 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.

Convenient

Ironically, Panama City doesn't have a lot of affordable golf options. Even the Panama Country Club that I used to belong to when I lived in PC is expensive as a non-member. I play NW when I am in town visiting my grandkids. It is very close, has a driving range and practice area, and the course is decent enough. Yesterday, the greens were in pretty bad shape, with many bare spots that were sanded. If you're looking for a non-serious round, NW works. One note: I saw a young couple (not golfing ) from the surrounding neighborhood taking a stroll on the course. I had to wait for them to clear out of the way before I teed off on #1. Maybe they have an arrangement with NW; however, I find it dangerous and it should not be permitted. It's a golf course, not a walking park.

Could be so much better

It's a fun little par 60 that's great for beginners. The staff is very friendly. The layout is fun but there's a ton of room for improvement. The greens are just terrible. They just stopped offering twilight rates so I'm they put some of the money into fixing them. It looks like they never get watered. It's just bumpy sand with patches of grass on several holes. They have no Marshall that I've seen, which would have been nice when suck behind a 5 some that decided to drive carts on the green. If you hit more than 3 feet into the woods you have no chance of finding it, so be aware. Overall, it's fun and affordable, but manage your expectations

Greens 😳

There should be a sign at the course, “We apologize for our greens.” Other than that very nice little course.

Amazing Hospitality!

My wife and I were in Panama for the week and decided to book a few tee times in the surrounding area, let me say we’re so happy to have booked with nature walk. My wife doesn’t golf much so it was so nice to see how accommodating they were to make her feel at home. For the price the course is amazing, the hole locations and short par 3’s are so fun and challenging. The crew working on the course was very nice as well they’re doing an amazing job keeping everything in tip top shape, if you’re looking for friendly staff and a fun time you have to check out Nature Walk! We will definitely be back when we’re in the area!!

The need to fix the greens

Everything is pretty good but the greens really need to be redone. It’s not even fun to play because your putts will jump and wobble everywhere. Same with the practice greens.

Nice layout, greens need work.

Decided to get in a quick 18 with my son on our vacation to Panama City. I really liked the layout of the course. The greens were cut well but needed some work. Most greens had big dead areas that made putting almost impossible. Good value for the money.
