Golf Course Suggestions
Hi all,
I will be visiting the Seagrove Beach area later in July and I am looking for recommendations for the best golf courses to play. Also, is there anyway to get on the courses at Watercolor...if you aren't staying there??
Thanks
-
There are a lot of nice courses. Maybe it's just me, but I'd look for who is offering the best deals. I've enjoyed playing at Shalimar Pointe, Raggatta Bay, and I really liked the Raven. The last two are in San Destin. But I played at discounted rates.
Camp creek, which I think is a Water Color course off of 30a, looks very pretty, well kept and well designed, though I've never played it. I only walked part of it. 850-231-7600 I think the course supervisor is Larry Livingston.
Not as nice as those I've mentioned, but there's an executive par 3 course off of hwy 98, the Golf Garden. If you have a teenager or non-serious golfer to tag a long or just want to hit a less serious course, it's a nice alternative.
Darn, I've golfed so many courses here in the past. The first three I mentioned are nice though. The Raven and Ragatta Bay are pretty darn nice courses. I'm no conaisseur, but if you have the money, I doubt either of those will disappoint. They are not terribly far from Seagrove.
However, from Seagrove, Camp Creek is very, very close. Call and see, but I think at least during the spring they allowed non-members. Not sure. I'd check. Also, they will be able to tell you, I forget the course, but there is one right north of there, just north of hwy 98 that had some great specials in the spring. I drove by it and it appeared to be a nice course. It was to be supported by its surrounding neighborhood but we all know how the economy stopped many housing establishments.
Good luck and let me know if you need any more help. I have a friend who knows more about the courses around here. There is no shortage, however.

Camp Creek Golf
If you mean Camp Creek Golf, yes you can, it went public in March.
It's by far the best golf experience around for miles.

Windswept is 5 mi. east of Freeport. It has 6 different tees and very nice. Hombre in Panama City Beach is a good golf course with lots of water. But I like Regatta Bay the best of all.

There is another course that St. Joe has in Watersound North called The Origins. A mixture of 3's, 4's and a 5 it can be played in different configurations from all 3's to a mix. This is public and can be walked or use cart.

Camp Crekk is by far the best in NW Fl. All depends how much you want to spend. Working there, I am a bit partial to the course. If you want a challenege, this is it. Otherwise, Windswept, Santa Rosa Golf, Origins{par 3}, or Holiday.
Camp Creek # is 850-231-7601 for all info. The Creek will add 5 strookes to your game, due to the greens.

Having played Indian Bayou, Kelly's, Regatta Bay, Windswept, Bay Point, Hombre, Holiday, Shalimar, Camp Creek, Santa Rosa, Burnt Pine, Raven, and one in PCB that was so unremarkable I can't even remember its name, I can sincerely tell you that Camp Creek is both the most expensive and the most challenging particularly if there has been rain to fill the sand wastes bordering many of the fairways. In order of my own preferences I like CC, Kelly's, Windswept, Bay Point, Hombre, the Sandestin courses, Shalimar, Indian Bayou, and then whatever is left. Enjoy.

Guest, member or employee. Having played most all of the courses in the area I can agree with the other posters that CC is the most challenging. Fazio design means not many flat lies and the grounds crew keep the greens fast and pin locations in places where you better not be above the hole. I will say though that I seem to lose more balls at Sharks Tooth ??????

Camp Creek is by far the prettiest and nicest local course. And I'm not just saying that because I love the alligators and other wildlife.

Hello, I have played a lot of golf in the area and would rank the courses in this order: Originally Posted by mkruze

5. Wind Swept Dunes
6. Hombre
The Hombre and Santa Rosa courses are very tight courses. I have heard that Kelly Plantation is a really nice course,but have never played it.
All of the above are courses that anyone can play.
Have fun.

Haven't played many of the courses around here, especially the resort courses along the Gulf, since I moved back to this area in late 2007. That said, I enjoyed Blue Water Bay when I played it a couple of years ago. Also, the two Eglin Air Force Base courses (off route 85 North in Niceville) are open to the public and both offer a lot of challenge, especially due to the amount of ups and downs not normally found in Florida. Last I heard the green fees were $43.

Thanks to everyone for posting this information. In the near future we will have a golf guide with a page and details for each course.
I am looking for reviews to include about each course in the area. A paragraph or a few about each course you have played would be very helpful.

Technically, you're supposed to have a DoD ID to play there, but ever since they closed the Eglin prison camp (they used to rely on the prisoners acting as greenskeepers to keep costs down) there have been reports that the club pro or other course employees will easily sponsor you if you want to play a round.

golf courses in So Wal
I am a new property owner in the area but can only visit a few times a year. I love golf and good golf courses. I was wondering what the favorite courses are for my fellow golfers in the area (for challenge and value). I did visit Camp Creek last year but was put off by the snotty attitude of the guy in the pro shop
and the exhorbitant green fee. 
-
Sorry, I was going to recommend Camp Creek. They are nice to me.

Camp Creek
If you want the best course on the panhandle then the exhorbitant green fee is the best bargain to be had. Originally Posted by geezer392002

For a different sort of experience than the resort courses, there's the Eglin AFB course over in Niceville. They opened up to the paying public a few years back when the 'Club Fed' prison camp closed, and they had to actually start paying for greenskeepers instead of using prison labor.

For the best golf course under $50, I'd recommend Windswept. Hombre in Panama City Beach and Kelly Plantation in Destin are also excellent.

Sorry for your experience at Camp Creek. I play there quite a bit with friends and never have had anything other than a positive experience. They do have specials from time to time like now where you can play for $75 before 12 and $50 after. That's a bargain for such a great course. You might look at Santa Rosa Golf club also.

I think $50 for that course is a real bargain!
Your location is Seacrest?
We just bought our condo in Seacrest beach! We visited the area for the first time last Spring and loved it so much we bought a place overlooking the lagoon pool. I can hardly wait to go back!
Where are you in Seacrest?

The special I referred to ends 3/15 and will probably go back to summer rates then. I don't know what that is at this time. Originally Posted by geezer392002

As a worker bee at CC, I'd give them another try. The course will be closed tomorrow, due to arrifing the greens. The "panic" $50.00 rate ends on the 15th. If you had a bad experience, I'd give Will a call and explain your situation. Might have been a bad day for the employee you conversed with. There is also Origins, just across the road from CC. But, for the $$, you won't get a more challenging course. And, if you're in need of golf balls, pm me, and I'll be happy to set you up.

Another nice course in SoWal is Santa Rosa Golf Club. It's in Dune Allen. A very tight course with reasonable greens fees.

Camp Creek is a very nice golf course and until recently they did not allow play from golfers unless they were staying in WaterColor. I agree they originally had a attitude,but I think it has changed a little since the economy has tanked.Others have told you about Santa Rosa, Hombre and Windswept Dunes.They are all good,but I like Regatta Bay alot. It is down close to Destin past the outlets. Originally Posted by geezer392002

I might mention it to someone there when I call back, but it won't put me off, I have to play that course it looks great, but I will look into Regatta Bay also.
cheers!

I was thinking about this and realized there was someone at CC who was sort of snotty - but he doesn't work there anymore.
Oddly enough, I do not think he was well suited for a job where he worked for tips!

Best golf courses
We are visiting in a couple of weeks, the 19th-26th. My husband and dad both play golf and are looking for the best value but still in good condition. They've looked into Kelly Plantation and it looks nice, but a little pricey. We're staying in Seagrove, but they're willing to drive out to Destin or Panama City if needed.
Thanks in advance!

You have to play Origins at WaterSound at least once. While not regulation, it is a beautifully kept and fun Davis Love III designed course. Ask them about all-day specials too!
Hombre Golf Course in Panama City Beach is a challenging but fun course as well, if they are ready to play target golf. Lots of water hazards, but rewarding if you can get over and past them.
Santa Rosa Beach Golf Club is a pretty straight-forward and picturesque course that allows you a more local feel, and comes at relatively decent price.
BUT, if they can afford one round, you have to try Camp Creek Golf Course. It is one of a kind, in good and challenging ways. Which is what you want if you are a golfer.

No need to leave South Walton for the best golf. Save your drive for the course. Sandestin is in South Walton, by the way, and not in Destin. So, you'll want to consider their courses along with others along 30A.

Awesome, thanks for the recommendation. I figured the resort courses were closed to the public but looks like sandestin has several nice ones to choose from. I'll mention this one to them, thanks again.

I've heard good things about the golf course at Eglin (Hwy 85 just north of Hwy 20) which is open to the general public. And at $40 a round for general public (or about $30 if you know a military person willing to sponsor you) the price is good for the area. Shalimar Pointe north of Ft. Walton Beach and Bluewater Bay east of Niceville should also be in the sub-$50 range. I'd also see if Windswept Dunes east of Freeport has anything that would work for you.

... while I am completly biased because I live there and we have a family membership.. I love Origins! I startd playing a year ago so I have no talent - but everyone that visits we take out on the course (most of which play regularly) and they love it. It is so pretty and best part it is never crowded. Now of course the best of the best is also just a 2 minute drive from there - Camp Creek. Originally Posted by CChandler

c. Regatta Bay, Hombre, Santa Rosa Golf Club (very tight)
In my opinion the Sandestin courses are usually not in great shape.
To get the best rates,you will need to play later in the day,probably after lunch.
Good Luck

I like Windswept. Only 30 minutes from Seagrove. It has 6 tees so take your pick.

Holiday Golf Course in PCB is popular and has night golf as well. Windswept Dunes is fun and challenging having the longest yardages in Fl., or so I've been told. Camp Creek is my favorite. It is meticulously maintained and this Fazio course gives you all kinds of challenges, especially the greens- fast and undulating.

Thanks again for all the suggestions. Isn't Camp Creek private though? At least this is what it appears to be on their website.
My husband is a huge fan of golfnow so he'll book their times from there I'm sure.

We are fans of Santa Rosa Beach Golf Club. We live here now, but when we were tourists, it was great, because it was reasonable pricing, well kept and close. The staff is awesome!
Kelly Plantation is superb. If you are playing in the heat (which is hard to avoid when playing a full round) they have cold apples and wet towels at many of the holes. It is very refreshing when it is so hot.
We have played Origins and although it is well kept, it is not a full course. You would be able to use all of the clubs in your bag. It is either 6 holes or 9 holes and you play a round twice. There is no beverage cart (at least not when we played) and no opportunity for a snack/sandwhich. Not sure I would recommend unless the group was not looking to play a full round of golf.

Origins has a six hole regulation course and a ten hole par three course, both well worth te tripand it doesn't take long to play either one. Originally Posted by rblessed1031
