It‘s peak season in March at the Raven

It‘s hard to get into the resort area, where the Raven is located. Traffic and guard check causes delays, means plan extra time to meet your tee time. Golf play was nice, but slow. Layout and course conditions are great. Water comes into play a lot. Would come back to the Sandestin courses when in the area.

Better wait until the greens are green again

No fun playing Stillwaters right now. Better wait until later in spring and the ground vegetation is further grown. Currently greens are not green and more like dry mud. Overall course layout is nice and challenging. Staff very friendly.

All 7 minutes a tee time

Pace of play is really bad due to 7 minute frequencies of tee times. Mostly foursomes before noon. Course layout and conditions are ok. Staff friendliness top.

Fivesomes allowed 👎

It’s a nice setting at the Bull Creek even in late fall with all the leaves 🍁. Hard to find your golf balls 😏. But pace of play is terrible. 5 players in front of us as a twosome and now way to play through.

Nice layout in a premier location, but….

…course is not maintained very well. All prior reviews are true. Seascape needs an upgrade! Nevertheless if you plan to play golf and don‘t want to spend $100+ for 18 holes like for many other courses in the Destin area, try this one out. Staff is friendly and they’ve got new golf carts with gps.

Great RTJ course in South Alabama

Not much was going on at RTJ Cambrian Ridge. I‘ve got a tee time right away on a sunny Monday. Teeboxes, fairways, bunkers and greens were all excellent. Great course layout, too. It‘s very worthwhile to play here. I‘ll come again.

More challenging than The Greens looks like

It’s a typical community course surrounded by homes within the city limits of Auburn. Course is not in good shape., but what else to expect if you pay only 10 dollars on GolfNow. Course layout is a bit chaotic. It’s easy to miss the right order of the holes.

Most reviews are much better than reality at LakeSide

After reading 5-star reviews and comments like hidden gem I planned to stop by and try it out on my way back home from South Florida Golf. It was disappointing from the first hole onwards. A beginner foursome didn’t let me play through, so pace of play was bad. Course layout with lots of old oak trees is quite nice, but tee boxes, fairways, bunkers and greens are more than rough. Sorry to say, but I wouldn’t come back.

Rolling landscape at the Sherman hills next to I75

Overall it’s a tight course between the homes in the Sherman Hills Subdivision. Just half a mile east of I75 it’s conveniently located for passing through golfers like me. Some holes need maintenance especially at the greens or bunkers, but overall it’s a nice layout with rolling terrain. Top holes are # 10 and # 18. I’d come back when in the area.

Cold bottled water as a goody for every golfer

It’s a bit of a drive from the Florida beaches to this country club in Niceville, but it’s worth the commute. Tee boxes, fairways, bunkers and greens are in good shape, and the course lay-out including the numerous water hazards make every stroke a challenging one. Pace of play is ok; there are plenty of club members out on the 18 holes. I’d come back for sure when in the area next time.

Neighborhood golf at the Bay

Surrounded by private homes these nine hole courses have a nice layout - we played Bay and Marsh -, but tee boxes, sand traps and fairways are a bit rough. Greens are ok and well playable. If one wants better conditions it‘s always possible to spend double price or more and get one of Destins signature courses.

Busy Monday at Bull Creek Golf Course

I played the West a few months ago and it was busy. Today I‘ve played the East and it was busy, too. I had two threesomes of walkers in front of me and they didn‘t let players behind play through. That was tough. Course lay out and conditions for spring were great. Some sand traps need some maintenance and maybe new sand, but overall the course is worthwhile playing it. I‘ll come back for sure when in the area.

Golf within 50 yards of the Interstate 65

It‘s really true. Green #3 is only 50 yards from I65, and no fence. So, don‘t hit it too long. Other than that, it‘s a good City course even it‘s not in the City. 9 holes per round. Layout isn‘t too challenging. Greens a good and fast, fairways and bunkers can be better, but ok. Golf carts are pretty new, even with USB port. I‘d come back when in the area. By then I hope that the garbage in the ponds, creeks and woods will be removed. It doesn‘t look appealing.

Construction all over the course

The last time I played Dunes and Vista was in 2016. The course lay out is still the same but the surroundings are different. Lots of construction for new homes is going on and is disturbing the overall golf feeling. Nevertheless fairways and greens are ok, staff very friendly.

Once again at the Gulf Shores G.C.

Last time I played here was in 2016. My rating stays the same. Nice but unspectacular public golf course surrounded by private homes. At a few holes water comes into play. Greens are well maintained and pretty fast. Golf carts are old. All staff was extremely friendly. Would come back.

Resort-style golfing

It‘s always fun to play golf at Callaway Gardens. Walkers, bikers and boaters are all over the place on a busy weekend. A dad with his young children tried to use one of the bunkers as playground. Besides that golfing was fun. Great layout around Lake Wren, signature island hole on #10. Fairways and greens have been well maintained, tee-boxes need some upgrade. I‘ll come back for sure when in the area.

Rain couldn’t stop the fun

This links style suburban golf course is fun to play. Mainly wide open and flat fairways as well as excellent groomed greens - even after lots of rainfall - whitewash the bit boring course layout. Proshop staff was very friendly and helpful, and Management seems to have a good hand in protecting environment and nature.

Hilly layout in front of the Bavarian Alps

If you do not rent a cart you will climb a lot of meters, especially on hole 10. ThIs golf course captivates with fairways going up and down a lot, and having hazards in between. Tees, fairways and greens are all in good shape. It’s not an easy course, but fun to play.

Municipal pines

I’ve played the Pines course as a Single. Typical municipal course. Not many hazards or traps, wide open fairways - not too difficult. The nearby air force base makes some noise.

Bring your long distance shots

If you like long distance shots and the noise of air traffic then you must go to Wolf Creek. Top fairways and greens help you with the good shots. The only thing that’s missing are the distance markers. I’d go again if I’m in the ATL area.
