Edgewater Beach Resort & Golf Club

Edgewater Beach Resort & Golf Club's Homre course sits in Panama City Beach along Florida's Panhandle coast, where the Gulf of Mexico influences both climate and landscape. Designed by Wes Burnham, the course occupies terrain typical of northwest Florida's coastal zone—relatively flat with natural wetlands, native vegetation, and sandy soils that drain quickly even during the region's frequent afternoon thunderstorms. The routing takes advantage of the area's lagoons and marshes, which come into play on several holes and provide habitat for wading birds and other coastal wildlife. The course serves primarily as an amenity for the Edgewater Beach Resort, a condominium and vacation property development that has been part of Panama City Beach's tourism infrastructure for decades. The layout reflects a resort philosophy, offering playable golf for visitors of varying skill levels while incorporating enough water hazards and strategic bunkering to challenge better players. The flat topography means most strategic interest comes from hazard placement and green complexes rather than elevation change. Panama City Beach is known more for its white-sand beaches and family tourism than for golf destination status, so Homre functions within that broader recreational context. The course provides a convenient option for resort guests and locals seeking accessible golf in a coastal setting, with the Gulf breeze often a factor in club selection and shot shaping throughout the round.
