Right out of the gate the staff member checking me in alluded to the fact that he was not happy that I booked with Golf Now. The beverage cart was seen one time in 18 holes. This was the 4th time I have played this course. My previous experiences have been very good (which is why I returned). I felt the course was not at all in the shape it had been in previous years. The range tee was not well manicured as it had been in years past. The greens were spotty and had weed growth in places. Certainly not the type of conditions one would expect from courses at this price point. Rated it 3 overall simply because of good past experiences but could have easily rated it a 2.

Picturesque challenging course

The course was in very good condition especially the greens. Water and sand along with some tight fairways made you keep the ball in play.

Fine course, Yet Expensive

The experience overall was okay, however it was extremely expensive for the quality. BEWARE these are the slowest greens I think I’ve ever seen!

I always enjoy playing this course. The layout is very good with lots of water and the greens were in great shape. The prices have been high lately but hopefully they'll come down soon

Longest Round of My Life

Our group had high hopes for this course. A group of five (5) were allowed to play together. They were more concerned with their beer intake than playing golf. So much so, that after over four (4) hours of being on the course we decided to leave as we left the 15th green. As we passed the fabulous 5 on the 18th tee, we saw them standing, talking and drinking on the tee. The Fab 5 had no less than 8 balls in the 18th fairway and in no rush to leave the tee box. As we were leaving we past 3 other groups, two other groups had passed us during the round to leave as well. No course Marshall or Ranger on the course. Voiced our concerns at the pro-shop. Sorry, nothing we can do. Sorry, we will not plan to play there again.

Average Golf, Nice People

I was matched with 3 members who were all great. Older people. Course is tight and not well suited for big hitters. Members said it was the oldest course in the area. Houses everywhere.

Condition was ok - wasn’t impressed but the more I play in the Destin area the more it seems like just decent is how they all are.

Tee Boxes - 3 of 5

Fairways - 3 of 5

Greens - 3 of 5

Layout - 4 out of 5
