Nature Walk Golf Club, as its name would suggest, sprawls across a scenic landscape blanketed with majestic oaks and Florida pines. The course boasts well manicured fairways as well as immense playability, both of which have been factors in its growing popularity. While the layout may not satisfy golfers looking for monstrous pot bunkers and lengthy par 5s, it does provide a fair amount of challenge. A number of sparkling blue lakes come into play throughout as well as bunkers that closely hug the greens. Nature Walk Golf Club is both gentle enough for beginners while being a great casual round for more seasoned golfers. The warm atmosphere, excellent conditions, and easy of play can be enjoyed no matter what skill level. Golfers can also utilize the extensive practice facilities, which include a driving range, a putting and chipping green, and a pitching green complete with a practice bunker.

Not Great!

Greens were terrible, you had to dodge balls from the driving range because their nets were ripped. The staff member at the desk was of no help. The layout was nice but they need to get a greens keeper and clean up the greens and tee boxes.

I was asked by the golf course to provide a comment that could be better utilized by this golf course so I will be specific and more constructive:
1. As other reviews stated you need to repair your greens and tee boxes.
2. You need to hire staff that are friendly, courteous and helpful.
3. Repair your driving range nets someone is going to get hurt and with numerous reviews a great opportunity for a lawsuit.
4. I do like the layout and the Par fours are great with the exception of the greens.
I hope this is more in the manner you were requesting.

Over priced

I used to play here 3 to 4 times a week. Since they raised the price, I refuse to play there. This is not the worst course I have played, however this course is the shortest in Bay county. They only have one friendly stuff member. Zero amenities on the course. Don’t get me started on the greens.

Cheap course and it was quite awful

As most people know this is mainly a par 3 course. I think there’s maybe 5 par 4’s. Main issue was the greens. Crabgrass all over the greens so no true puts existed, just aim and hope you hit the right crabgrass growth to steer you ball to the hole.

Worse Greens in PC

Greens are unputtable. Crab grass everywhere does not allow a true roll and kicks the ball all over the place. Tee boxes are bad as well. The only reason to play here is the cheap price.

Pace of play is horrific

There is no marshal to monitor speed of play so there were 2 different groups of 8-10 people playing together not letting people play through. We had to skip 3 or 4 holes to be able to play through. It will be a long time before we try that again.

50/50 Greens

Enjoyed our round very much; however, the greens were worse than the last time I played. My last review gave the course credit for recovery after the devastating effects of hurricane Michael in the fall of 2018. That being said the greens were a mix of thin nap and clumps. There were times when the ball rolled true and did not hit any clumps. There were also times where a 3 footer would be deflected by a clump. Hopefully this will improve with time. As an after note I wish there were some trash cans out on the course. It might keep golfers from trashing the course as bad.

Rainy but fun

We are from Canada and love winter golfing. It was a rainy day but the course held up well. Miss Betty a lab retriever provided plenty of fun and action chasing and retrieving our golf ball drives much to the delight of poor shots or chagrin of the good drives. A fun course, not too demanding and reachable par 3's.

Wet but fun

We go off nicely and timely, 7th hole the sky's opened up. No problem,, 1/2 hour later back out. The back 9, was eventful, a young black LAB chased and retrieved our BEsT shots ever, and enjoyed the ponds swimming back and forth. Always enjoy golfing here.
