Bang for the Buck

If you remember golf the way it was in the 80’s this is your course and amenities level.

This course has been frozen in time!

Bring your rangefinder!

The course wasn’t in very good shape. Greens are slow!

Good Course/Over Priced

We enjoyed the course. In good shape, pretty well maintained. I have played golf at all the well known courses in the US along with many others.

We paid $95 each. It is not a course I will play again for that price. I don’t know, but is this the year around price or just a summer price for tourists??

Vacation golf

We only got to play the front 9 because of rain and lightning. We waited around with everyone else and was told after the rain that no carts could go out. We were looking forward to playing the back nine as we came there because it is different than most Florida courses. It has hills.

Always A Pleasure

From check-in to the final hole this is our favorite course and well worth the hour drive from Panama City Beach.

We highly recommend it and hope to keep coming back.

Always enjoy golfing here

We hadn’t been in a few years but I remember liking the course. It did not disappoint. The holes are interesting and the course is in good shape. They have great clubhouse with seating outside.it’s a lovely country club.

Staff was great!

Course was in a good condition especially for this time of year. The only downside to this course was the members of the club. They seem to not like “outsiders”. The staff was very nice and understanding but the members not so much.
