About

Type Private
Par 72
Length 6626 yards
Slope 125
Rating 71.5

Panama Country Club is situated on the Intracoastal Waterway along the Gulf of Mexico. Donald Ross designed the golf course in 1927. Eight of the holes still reflect his original work. The fairways range in size from narrow to medium width and they are strategically routed through the natural features of the environment, not only preserving them but also allowing them to come into play. The course is mostly flat, making it pleasant to walk, but there are a few subtle contours that provide a challenging element to the layout. A number of holes also feature water hazards. The small greens play fast, indicative of the era in which they were built. Panama Country Club's greens are in consistently good condition year-round thanks to a 2005 resurfacing project.

The recently punched and sanded greens were a challenge.

The course is pretty, however, could use a little more attention. The cart paths are fairly non-existent, or in poor condition where they do have them.
It would also be nice to have a little more water on the course, it was very hot out there!!

No waiting

Fairways were in great shape. Tee boxes and greens still recovering from summer transition. Two temporary greens.

A Must-Play Course

This course doesn't seem to receive the attention that the Nicklaus course does but this is one solid golf course. The condition of the course was nothing more less than spectacular. The greens, orignal according to the staff, were very receptive to shots and putted true with good speed. There are some very interesting and challenging golf holes on this course.
Hole #13 -- Great par 3
Hole #17 -- Great par 5
Hole #18 -- What a finish!
Definitely looking forward to my next opportunity to play this course again.

This course needs a lot of attention.

The condition of the course is poor. The greens totally need to be replaced - there is no helping them.

Course was in very good condition with very fast. Very challenging round of golf

The course is an old style course w many short par 4's with sharp doglegs and most the par three's are long with fast greens. Nice round of golf with beautiful views of the bay.

Very nice course

Golf course was in good condition. Played in the afternoon when there were not many people on the course so pace of play was excellent. Lots of doglegs which require working the ball off the tee or in my case mainly using less than driver.

A real pleasure to play. Not too hard; not too easy. Really nice condition!

In my opinion, the best maintained course in the PCB area for the cost of play. Beautiful greens and fairways, sandtraps well maintained, beautiful large pine trees bordering many holes, well placed water hazzards that penalized only the really bad shots. A really fun and enjoyable golf course!
