Perdido Bay Golf Club

Perdido Bay Golf Club sits along the northern shore of Perdido Bay in Pensacola, Florida, where the coastal landscape meets the Gulf Coast's characteristic pine and palmetto terrain. The course was designed by Bill Amick and Bill Bergin, architects who worked primarily in the southeastern United States during the latter decades of the twentieth century. The layout takes advantage of the property's natural water features and relatively flat topography common to this part of the Florida Panhandle. The routing incorporates views of Perdido Bay itself on several holes, with water hazards—both natural and constructed—playing a significant role throughout the round. The design reflects the era's approach to resort and residential golf in coastal Florida, balancing playability for a range of skill levels with strategic interest created by water carries and well-placed bunkers. The course serves both members and resort guests, fitting into the broader development of golf amenities along the Gulf Coast corridor that stretches from Pensacola through the beaches to the east. The club operates in a region known for year-round golf, benefiting from mild winters and the draw of beach tourism. Perdido Bay represents the style of golf course development that accompanied residential and vacation growth in coastal northwest Florida, offering a layout shaped by the constraints and opportunities of low-lying, water-rich terrain near the Gulf of Mexico.
