Dogwood/Pines at TimberCreek Golf Club
Played On 02/26/2024Greens need work
Greens are lacking any blades of grass and are compacted so much that their resulting speed is too much for the slope.
Wasn’t too crowded mid-day but play was slow- our slow foresome was waiting for a twosome. No rangering or starter.
Course appears to need investment to improve.
Blackstone Golf Course
Played On 02/15/2024Fairways need grass & wash out repair
Lots of bare spots and ruts in fairways- greens in good shape
Lost Key Golf Club
Played On 02/08/2024Great greens - fairways need turf
Greens are best I’ve seen in the area. Fairways are mostly sand. Some layout snafus where you have to double back to the tee or there’s not a safe place to park your cart- not well thought out from a design perspective.
Play was too slow on front for not being crowded.
Once the slowbirds quit after 9 we were able to play the back 9 in an hour and get done before dark.
Rates are higher than they ought to be for the conditions.
Glenlakes Golf Club - Vista/Dunes Course
Played On 02/06/2024A bit Rough
"Mud and a 5 hour round" - that;s what the cart guy said to me as I was waiting for a cart.
"because we're cheap" he said.
He was correct - course doesn't drain well and there are some pretty muddy areas across fairways.
Play is slow - no ranger and folks on the course seemed to have had little interest in moving along.
Played here before, but it seems to be getting worse.
Don't see much investment in improvement either.
Marcus Pointe Golf Club
Played On 01/31/2024Greatly improved
Have played here 4-5 years a few times per year.
The improvements made of late are commendable.
Greens are nice, fairways coming back, new carts with GPS and music alternatives.
Sent a note to the course making a geofence alert improvement and they responded the next day.
If you were disappointed in the past, return there for a better experience.
Perdido Bay Golf Club
Played On 01/30/2024Better than ever
New GPS screens are super. Fairways and greens in great shape.
Ponds could be a little smaller and harder to hit :)
Scenic Hills Country Club
Played On 01/29/2024Needs grass
Fairways are primarily soil - about 35%actual turf. They roll like a parking lot so distance is good but lies are tight.
Pretty rough around the edges.
Osceola Municipal Golf Course
Played On 02/22/2024Needs a LOT of Work
Compacted dirt fairways, much like a parking lot, but not that level.
Matted bumpy greens.
I realize it’s a Muni but it’s far below that level in terms of conditions.
To make matters worse, they have geofencing on the carts which shuts you down and then beeps so it’s hard to know you’re in a forbidden area- and protecting what? Theirs no surface other than the greens (barely) that could be worsened by driving over it.
Plus it’s meaningless- you can’t even pull up to the restroom on the front nine.
Course needs management and a green’s superintendent- probably related to funding. Cities usually end up closing courses once they are left to deteriorate this far.
Won’t be back.
Crown Golf Course
Played On 06/20/2023Oaks at Ft. Walton Beach Golf Club
Played On 03/09/2023Played pines not oaks
The pro shop sent us to the Pines course at our option saying it was wider and longer. Only problem was they had a walking twosome, people that waited for someone to clear the green from 300 yards out and a foursome that must’ve had Rigamortus. The cups look like they haven’t been moved for a month and a half. The course has a good layout and the clubhouse is a nice big facility.
When you find 5 groups backed up on the fifth tee after moving through 1-4, ya gotta wonder.
Lots of dirt/sand in fairways- greens slow and bumpy. I’d come back hoping conditions improve, but only once if they didn’t.
Lake Forest Golf Club
Played On 03/06/2023Great layout
Loved the ups and downs of the course through a nice neighborhood.
Conditions need a little work but I hear there’s a new superintendent working at it.

Blackstone Golf Course
Played On 02/23/2023Beware of ditches
Course has a lot of ups and downs as far as terrain goes. There are a number of creek crossings which require good contact to cross, forcing an occasional layup or risk/reward situation.
Fun course to play if you know where you're going. Greens were a nit slow but okay.
Perdido Bay Golf Club
Played On 02/17/2023Good greens and sand
‘‘Twas a cool and windy day(55 deg/30 mph) so not crowded and things moved along well.
Good course conditions as usual. A few traps had taken in sand from below or on the sides & turned gray but most traps are in great shape.
Got out a little early thanks to the starter. Felt sorry for the bev cart person who had to drive around in the cold and try to sell cold drinks.
Will be back - one of the nicer area courses.
Thank you so much for the great review. We are glad you had an incredible time, and we hope to see you again soon! Thanks for choosing Perdido Bay Golf Club.

Played On 02/13/2023Great greens
Best greens in the area.
Price has gone up quite a bit in one season.

Lost Key Golf Club
Played On 02/13/2023Always a good challenge with great greens
Greens were too fast for the slope but nice to see good rolling greens.
Some rough spots in the fairways.
Lucked out on a non crowded day to be able to get around in about 4 hours.
Price is a little high but I save my rewards/promo codes to make it more reasonable - thanks to Golf Now.

Osceola Municipal Golf Course
Played On 02/12/2023I know it’s a muni but this is bad
Mostly a dirt track
Greens spotted with bumps and holes.
No ranger to move players along.
Many golfers with zero etiquette and clueless about pace if play.
Played this course the past 3-4 years with lowered expectations but it’s now sunken to an off my list level.
Dogwood/Pines at TimberCreek Golf Club
Played On 02/06/2023OK but...
Course has needed improvements in fairway, tee and green condition for a few years but it seems not much is being done. They don't even take the leaves off the fairways that make it difficult to spot you ball.
Great layout and facilities.
Please - just pay attention to the golf course.
This can be a great venue.
The Fairways
Played On 07/01/2022Golf in the country
Course has a nice layout on a fine piece of property.
It’s quiet and pleasant to be out on the Fairways.
I didn’t see a lot of sprinkler heads and the course is quite dry, though so had been the weather.
Greens are reasonably sloped. Driving is not difficult here.
Few sand bunkers, too.
Good place to get a few birdies without taking too much risk.
Prairie Falls Golf Club
Played On 06/30/2022Story of 2 nines
The front nine starts you off on a part three and is much more difficult than the back nine. The 2 nines should be switched. The front nine is obviously the newer of the two and is pretty much 90% uphill. The distance in overall yardage is deceiving. Be sure to check the length of the part threes and the fact that this is only a par 69 golf course. The 5700 yard tees play like 6200. Otherwise the course is in great condition the back nine is in awesome shape and though the greens are a little slow they are very consistent and the entire course is lush and healthy.
We will be back.
Lost Key Golf Club
Played On 03/08/2022Need to Manage Play
Teed at 11 - front 9 took 2 hrs&15 minutes - slow enough but then it got worse.
When turning, we discovered that 2 foursomes somewhere in front of us decided to go in, sit down, order and eat lunch. Then they came out and went to # 10 in front of us - so now 12 people are waiting on the 10th tee and we have an additional .
Front was open, so we went there again with starter's permission.
When we got to #11 tee, 3 foursomes were on the par 3.
That 9 took 3 hours.
No ranger, no monitoring of people turning from front to back.
When charging over $70/round there is no need to overfill the course nor mismanage what is oversold, be it rounds of golf or food in the restaurant.
Golfers should call from # 8 tee, order, pick up their food and eat it on the go OR lose their place in the queue until there's a gap.
