Don't let the other reviews scare you

Is this the best course in Destin? No. But its absolutely playable. Sure, it needs some TLC but we found nothing that would keep us from coming back.

We got out first and were able to fly around smoothly. Greens were a little bumpy but nothing that kicked putts offline.. Fairways were decent enough but could use a little more water. Tee boxes need attention but again, playable enough.

It does seems they've modified the layout at some point to make room for encroaching developments but they've done a solid job masking this.

Overall, this is a nice, short course and possibly the best value in the Destin area although it almost seems they are working to squeeze out every little bit before they sell the rest off to development.

Not worth the price

As the most expensive course in the Destin area, I would have expected it to be well above and beyond all the others in the area. It is not. The greens were terribly slow and the staff admitted this was on purpose. The fairways were "fluffy" as opposed to normal fairway length.

The staff was very nice and the cold towels on 1 and 100 tee were a nice touch, but who needs a cold towel on #1? Maybe reposition those to 9 and 15/16?

It's nice overall but not worth the highest price on the island IMO

Continuing to improve

Freancis Lake hasn't always had the best reputation as a place to play. That should be changing rapidly. No, it's not a pristine, perfect course but it's much improved and continuing to get better. #17 was closed for complete green replacement and 1 other hole on the front had 1/2 the green closed . The fairways are in good condition with a few spots being repaired.

If you want a perfect course, look elsewhere. If you want a good quality, fun course with an extremely friendly staff, this is the place for you.

Nice, but not worth the cost

Course is nice but nothing special. It's not worth $85-$115 by any stretch of the imagination. The older gentleman who was working outside was very rude and seemed bothered by the one question I asked him. This course is no better condition wise than the Jekyll courses, Heritage Oaks, or Sanctuary Cove... all of which you can play for much, much less money.

I was out early and playing at a nice pace until I made the turn and they had put out 2 4-somes ahead of me. I spent the entire back 9 waiting and waiting until they both finally let me through on 13 and 16.

There was no starter and the grounds crew was out on the course the entire round working and not paying any attention or respect to golfers.

Will not be back.

Great course for the price

I got out early and flew around the course as a single. Had no issues until I hit 17 where there were a couple of foursomes that started on the back. That was my only complaint. The greens were shaggy but understandable with as hot as it's been. Rest of course in immaculate condition. Would be nice if they had hole maps on each tee or a hole map so you could know where to hit the ball.
