Second time playing this course and first time this spring. Relatively good spring time conditions. Fairways have really greened up over the last couple weeks. The greens were fairly hard and quite slow. They appear to have been air rated recently and sanded. Will improve shortly I believe. Some challenging holes and a nice scenic play. Enjoy the location very much. Will be playing here again and great value on a golfnow hot deal.

Played Kelly for the second time this winter. First day in December was perfect. Yesterday, not do much but not the fault of the course. Temperature started at noon at 41 degrees and never changed. Played the first 2 holes in sleet. Oh well, even with the cold we had and excellent time. The staff was excellent from the young man who unloaded our car and loaded the golf cart, to the gentlemen at the practice facility who was also acting as starter although the weather was such that we only saw one other group the whole game. They were also from Canada. Practice facilities here are excellent with a good driving range, great chipping area and bunker practice area. Also a large putting green. Some have stated the greens were in rough shape but these were some of the best we have seen in the Destin / Panama City beach area. They were fast but I think the cold affected that. In any event, new temporary greens are being prepared and new greens are being put in this spring/summer. Even after a night of rain, the fairways were in fine shape for wintertime and we had no complaints. There are some tight areas and lots of bunkers and lakes/ ponds. It is a fairly challenging course but a true pleasure to play. Very scenic running alongside the bay. The course is in a golf club community of very nice homes but none were close enough to be an issue and most of the holes were quite wide open. The clubhouse facilities are very nice as is the pro shop. Staff in both were friendly and very helpful. All in all it was excellent value for the price paid through Golfnow and I hope to enjoy the course again once the weather improves. Also hope they continue to be accessible to the public and list on Golfnow with occasional hot deals not like many courses in Panama City Beach area have ceased to do.

Greens were firm, fast and playable. Work done over the past year shows. Over seeding on fairways has required a lot of watering but even with the rain we have had they were relatively dry in most areas. Practice facilities are good but would be nice to be able to practice hybrids and drivers. the course is well payed out and a pleasure to play. We all really enjoyed both times we have played this year. Reasonable value for the golf now hot deals but full price is too high for the area in my opinion.

Tight fairways. Green were in good shape. Small and undulating. Lots of hills. Water and bunkers on several hole. Overall a fun round. Staff was very friendly and the Marshall, Rolly was very helpful with several pointers for our wives who are new golfers.

An executive course with many challenges for my wife and I as new golfers and even for our friend , considered a very good golfer with 35 years experience. Greens survived a very hard winter in excellent shape. Tee boxes were good as were the fairways. Only complaint would be the cart paths. Huge potholes and very bumpy all over. They could easily be scraped and smoothed out with a minimum amount of work. This is a fun course with some challenging short holes and some nice long ones.

It's a comfortable blend of par 3, 4 and a couple short 5s. We really enjoyed the new 12 hole layout. 18 is often very tiring especially for new or senior golfers and nine leaves you wanting more. A round can be played in a few hours rather than all afternoon. The course was in very good condition. Tee boxes are fairly small and some of the greens are a challenge to hit being on the smaller size. The owners are putting a lot of effort into the course and we saw quite a few new tree plantings going on.

All in all it was an enjoyable afternoon and excellent value.

Very enjoyable 9 hole round. Supposed to rain so was not busy, and did not rain. The sun came out. Fairways were in great shape, greened up nicely after a hard winter. Roughs well trimmed and greens were in excellent condition. We really like coming to this course although it is abit of a drive it is always worth the trip.

We have played here 8 times since December. A 10 hole par 3 in excellent condition, green are in very good condition. Can also be played as a regulation length 6 hole course. 4 people including 3 relative beginners can finish a round in a couple hours. Nice natural environment, no houses encroaching on the course. All equipment is well maintained. Dean at the desk is most pleasant and informative. A great value on golfnow hot deals.

Not too much more to say. The greens were dismal. Little green to be seem. Mostly dirt and sand. The name speaks the truth. The walk through the trees is very nice but the poor course conditions ruined it. My wife and I are fairly new golf ears but we have played about 10 times since arriving and natures walk is in the poorest condition. It is in a very pretty area and the grounds could be spectacular but the condition of the course ruined it for us. We will not likely be back.
