Windy but what did you expect on winter

Good day with 20-40 mph out of Southwest made a challenging course even more so.

Greens are really good considering it is winter.

For winter the course was great in great shape, especially the greens. Cart path only resulted in a nice walk. No crowds so the pace was notably fast.

I love the layout, but the greens were not good!

I really like this golf course and have played here many times over the years and will continue to come back. Their range is decent, they have a good amount of space but there aren’t enough targets. The short game area and putting green are excellent.

This is one of my favorite layouts in the area I always enjoy playing here. This time however, I was very disappointed with the greens. I’m hoping it’s because they have over-seeded with rye or something because the greens were very hairy and bumpy. Putts bounced all over the place, you couldn’t keep anything on line. The cups also look like they hadn’t been changed in a few days.

Great course, awesome staff! We were in town with family for vacation so playing golf anywhere this time of year if fantastic but this course did not disappoint. Some challenging holes but definitely playable for the 15 plus handicap in our group.

Perfection in Destin

For a course priced at this rate you would expect near perfect amenities and quality and that is what you get. Great layout, perfect conditions, fantastic amenities, and great service. The iced mango scented towels are game changers. Lots of awesome courses in this area but this one stands out.

Exceptional Course and Customer Service

I knew I was in for an amazing experience from the moment I entered the security gate to the property. The staff were friendly and eager to assist even when I asked to go out early after hitting range balls that were provided in the fee. The course was in excellent condition and the greens ran true. The views were incredible. As a Realtor, I really enjoyed seeing the incredible homes on the course. I will most definitely play there again.
