I find camp creek to be one of the toughest courses in the Florida panhandle. This course is almost always in great shape. Tons of water comes into play and the green complexes are absolutely massive with multiple tiers and are extremely undulating.

One of the best hidden gems within 45 minutes of 30a / Destin area. Used to be the longest course in Florida tipping out at 7,800 yards (at sea level). Course is pretty wide open and features massive greens. Typically in good shape and a really fun stress free round…

How we rank
This ranking uses each golfer’s conditions rating, on a 0.5–5 scale. Conditions is the golfer’s overall conditions score, or the average of their greens, fairways, tee box, and bunker scores when no overall was given. Every golfer counts once per course: repeat rounds are averaged first, then the course score is the average across golfers. A course needs conditions ratings from at least 5 different golfers. Ties go to the course with more golfers, then the higher Course Vaults score. Only open courses with a published Course Vaults score (at least 5 explicit ratings) are eligible, and a page is published only when at least 5 courses qualify. City pages include courses within about 25 miles of Destin, so nearby suburbs can appear. Rankings refresh about hourly.
