Very good overall

The course was a great experience overall, the only downside is a couple of the greens were in bad condition. The staff was very friendly, the price was great, and the layout was awesome! I’ll definitely be coming back.

Marsh Course - July '21

This could be a really nice track, it just needs additional investment. Weed management detracts from what could be a very appealling venue. Greens were not all good with some having quite a bit of rough/bare sections, and the Ft. Walton public course had better.

Goat Track

What a dump this has become. Wayyyyy over priced. No Range. Fairways look like a pasture. Greens haven’t been mowed, maybe ever. Need a driver to hit a ten foot putt. Check in and ask for couple bottled waters and Gatorades for the round and, of course, the snack bar is closed…. at 9am. Drink cart finally shows up at 9th hole. This course is for you if you enjoy terrible service and hitting off crowned, sandy tee boxes.

The course was in pretty good condition, especially with all the rain. There were double dog legs on some holes, which made it challenging to attack.

This course was enjoyable

I had an nice time playing the course with my friends. The course was maintained well enough. A couple of greens were rather brown and needed watering with it being so hot. I would play this course again

Not worth the money

Came to play here on vacation and was very disappointed. The picture online are completely wrong the course only has 2 holes with a cool bay view. Every fairway, tee box and green had dead spots. Every single sand trap was full of weeds. All of the cart paths are tight and in disrepair. Many of the tee boxes were being repaired so the blocks would just be bunched up in random flat areas around the tee boxes

Course conditions

Staff very friendly and accommodating. Greens good condition. Rest of course not what we envisioned. Fairways had many bare spots. Most of bunkers were horrid and unkempt. Tee boxes not mowed and unkempt. Would not recommend in current condition to any of my friends.

Great mix of quality and cost friendly!

Was in town on vacation and wanted to play somewhere that had nice views but wouldn’t be super packed like most places on the coastline. This course was in great shape in general irregardless of its good price and it had several holes with great views along the way!

Course was in pretty good shape. Fairways were decent and greens were good. Some tee boxes were moved up. Tight course with a lot of houses and a ton of doglegs, both left and right. A couple good holes on the water. Bring a lot of balls if you spray it left/right.

Better than I remember

I played several courses locally on the cheap and got what I paid for. Got a good deal on golf now and expected more of the same. I was more than pleasantly surprised when the fairways and greens we're way better than I remembered and extremely playable...

That is, other than a tight layout.

But like most courses keep it in play and you can score, which I didn't... But cannot blame it on a course, which I will gladly play again.
