    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…

    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.

How we rank

This ranking uses published scorecard data from each course’s longest men’s tees, the same tee set for every course. Only 18-hole courses with a yardage for every hole, a total that matches the hole-by-hole sum, and a par between 54 and 80 are included. Courses whose scorecard duplicates another course’s are left out until the data is fixed. Courses are ordered by total yardage, then slope rating, then 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.
