Keep it in the fairway

When on vacation on 30A, I like to work in at least one round at Baytowne. The course is always well maintained. It has lots of water and sand hazards, so I have to discipline myself to keep it in the fairway with a conservative strategy and a cocky swing. I can score here from the blue tees with fairway woods and irons if my driver does not behave.

Oldie but goodie

I always enjoy playing at Seascape. Its narrow fairways and large landing areas are challenging but fair for me.

Senior Experience

This is a beautiful layout with plenty of sand and water like most Florida courses. I was treated like a welcome guest. I am an 18 handicap senior. I played the white tees and made pars on the par 3s and par 5s but did not reach the par 4s in regulation probably because I was trying too hard for extra distance and wary of unfamiliar hazards.
I had a fun round paired with other winter visitors from out of state. Pace was a little slow for my tempo and greens were slower than my home course.

Nostalgic Gem in East Nasty

Shelby is the first golf course I remember from early childhood. Sixty years ago we had church picnics in Shelby Park located uber close to downtown. I was curious about the men walking and talking on the beautiful grass carrying bags of golf clubs.
Fast forward 50 years I joined a group playing the Metro public courses on a rotating basis. I feel glad when we play Shelby, with its hilly and tight front nine and its hilly and long back nine. I usually walk 9 holes with a push cart for exercise or ride 18 because of the hills and valleys. Lots of blind tee shots. Love the friendly staff. Unbeatable low greens fees. Love the millenial golfers who have gentrified East Nashville and taken up the greatest game, bringing Shelby back to life!

Water Water All the Rround

I have played Ted Rhodes many times over the past 30 years. I almost always walk with a push cart. The course is extremely flat for Middle Tennessee. There are numerous ponds and creeks on the course, in play on most holes, plus a river bordering several holes. The fairways are open and forgiving. The greens are consistently firm and fast. The staff is professional. This is a municipal course and gets a lot of play but is well maintained.

Metro Parks Gem

I have been playing this course for 47 years. Lots of elevation changes, very little water. Well protected greens. I get in a greenside bunker every round. I still prefer to walk it. New greens can be hard and fast. Metro does a nice job managing the flow of play on busy weekends.

Excellent golf value

I played a weekday round with my brother while on vacation. I like the Seascape layout: front nine carved out of the swamp; back nine lined with condos. Green fees about half the price of nearby resort courses. We scored about our handicaps. We played the gold tees (we are in our mid 60s), next time will play the blues to get the extra challenge and greater variety of clubs on second shots. Fairways were well maintained, greens recently sanded with bare patches so difficult to read. Older course with smaller greens. I will return when the value gap justifies it.

Relaxing week-day round

I love all the Sandestin courses. Each is beautiful and well maintained. Played The Links before in February and May. Love the bay front winds. Love the shady pines. Nice lay out favors accurate drives and irons. Distance off the tee is not required. I am a senior and found the white tees were challenging but made 10 pars. Playing in September, fairways a bit thin from long hot summer. Greens recently aerated and sanded so I did not adjust well enough to make long putts. Old cart paths are a little bumpy. I will be back!

Links a lot of fun

The Links has a challenging but very playable layout. Greens roll true. Lots of water but fairways are wide in right places. Beautiful views of bay. Well maintained.

Raven Rocks

Beautiful layout with plenty of lateral water hazards and well placed sand bunkers. Paired with a lovely couple from Argentina and a delightful Florida retiree, all good golfers. Recent aerification of greens made putting a challenge but we each drained 20 footers. Staff very friendly and courteous. Greens fee reduced due to verification so we got excellent value. Sandestin courses never disappoint.

We really enjoyed reading your 5 star review! It's always more fun to be paired with a great group and it sounds like course conditions didn't affect play too much which is great to hear. After all, our staff is working hard as we prepare for summer season. See you soon!
