Not as advertised

Played this course while in Destin on vacation and had high hopes for a nice course for the price of $65. The fairways were like rough but cut short and the greens were full of little weed spots. We asked at the pro shop before tee off on the condition of the course and was informed it was in excellent condition. Will not recommend this course as one to play.

Takes its toll

Short 18 hole course. Good greens, fairly good fare ways, no GPS on the carts. If your traveling from the ocean side like I was then, you will be hit with a bridge toll of $8.00 in cash and drive thru license plate toll that I will get in the mail.

Pleasant place to play.

A nice place to play. Members are friendly and welcoming. Terrain is different from the courses on 98, in a good way, The price is very much a good factor in comparison to surrounding venues.

Not bad

The course was in descent shape. Greens rolled nice. Layout is nice. Staff was nice. A little overpriced, but not too bad. Would play again.

Diamond In The Rough
