About this course

Nature Walk Golf Club opened in 2007 in Lynn Haven, a small city in the Florida Panhandle just north of Panama City. The course was designed by Dan Maples in collaboration with local developer interests, though the Clifton-Ezell partnership is sometimes associated with the project in regional records. The layout occupies rolling terrain unusual for this coastal region of Florida, utilizing natural elevation changes and native vegetation to create a course that feels distinct from the flatter, more tropical designs common elsewhere in the state. The routing moves through corridors of longleaf pine and oak, with several holes playing along or across wetland areas that introduce strategic considerations for approach shots and recovery play. The design emphasizes width off the tee while protecting greens with thoughtful bunkering and natural contours. Water comes into play on multiple holes, though not to the extent typical of many Florida courses. The property's name reflects the walking-friendly character the designers intended, with relatively short distances between greens and tees. Nature Walk serves primarily as a daily-fee facility for residents of the Panama City area and visitors to the Emerald Coast. The course has hosted regional amateur events and remains a popular option for golfers seeking a parkland-style layout in a part of Florida better known for its beach resort courses. The clubhouse offers standard amenities and the course maintains a reputation for playability across different skill levels.
