Panama Country Club

Prior to hurricane Michael, I’m sure this was a great golf course. Unfortunately, it’s apparent that this track was wiped clean of all that made it worth playing. Speaking with a local, upwards of 5000 trees were lost in the hurricane and it left this as pretty much a flat, treeless, windswept also ran course. For the $80 (after 1pm rate) we paid, it’s a ridiculous waste of money. As another reviewer indicated, the guy worrking in the pro shop is a “yes/no” type guy with no personality who seems annoyed by public golfers.

If you’re willing to drive the distance to play this course from Panama City Beach, then you would be much better served driving up to Freeport and playing Windswept Dunes. That one is a fantastic layout and worth the price.

Course was really nothing special and for the cost, way overpriced!!!

I'd never go back for $77

Greens were excellent, but that's it!

Fairways and greens were good. There is nothing creative about the design. Not a lot of water that comes into play. Course is very flat and just not very scenic. Guy in the “pro shop” was a yes or no kind of person. We are here on vacation so next time back we will probably look for another course to play.

The hurricane changed this 180 degrees. No trees, jyst an easy wide open layout. Great for mid to high handicap. Fairways and greens are very good.

Tees, fairways, greens and bunkers were in great shape. Layout was good but looks like 90% of the trees were lost. Would be nice to see them move to a links style course and out waste areas in where the trees were to add some character to the course.

Decent little course just north of Panama City Beach. Course was in pretty good condition as far as the turf was concerned. Green are concrete-firm and there is little tough to save you if you aren’t hitting them in the fairway. Limited amenities like clubhouse/driving range. Lacking clubhouse due to continued rebuilding from big hurricane 2 years ago.

Through no fault of their own, this course currently looks like a war zone (due to a hurricane). The greens, tee boxes and most fairways are good but there is no shade at all and aesthetically, it is just not pleasing.

We'd read the other reviews but couldn't comprehend the damage done to the area until droving through the neighborhood to get to the course. So many trees had been downed that the course has had to have taken on a whole new look of openness to the members and regulars. To us it just looked inviting.

Fairways are in excellant condition, as are the tee boxes and greens. There is not a lot of rough except were tress have been removed and mulch as been piled up. Plenty of doglegs in either direction make it fun for all kinds of drives. Bunkers are in professional shape with what would have been soft sand except for an overnight rain.

One comment about the greens - we didn't see a single ball mark on any of them, which is a testament to their firmness and TLC. We appreciated that.

The management is to be commended on the condition of the course and the ever changing landscape it's presenting.

We will be back.

Great place to play it’s still in rough post hurricane condition but still plays fairly well!

This is a great course that is honestly in solid shape for what it’s been through. The greens were in great condition, as were most of the fairways and tee boxes. They are still doing a lot of work. Tons of downed trees and bare trees, a lot of the growth between holes is more or less mulch, and the club house is closed for repair. It was a good round of golf for a decent price. Not a very challenging course, but an enjoyable area. You can tell they are trying to bring the course back. It is definitely not the most scenic course at the moment, but it is not the fault of the course management. Excited to see their improvements next year!

Decent course for the price. Beginner course no doubt. Not much hazard play to deal with and a fairly open layout. Greens were in good shape minus being a little tall on the grass.

To bad a lot of trees gone. Now more wide open. Still a good course.

Really enjoy this course. Greens are fantastic ! No gimmicky holes, well worth the money! Every employee that I have dealt with has been extremely friendly and accommodating !

Excellent course can’t wait to play the course again
