New Davis Love III course at Watersound Club. Really cool design, strategic, and fun green complexes. Wild biarritz towards end of front nine. Inland links course with some shared fairways where you can get creative. My favorite course to play at Watersound.

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…
