I will be in Destin Florida for the week of thanksgiving and would like to play golf sometime during the week.

Are there and cheap courses or short courses (either par 3 or 9 hole course) in the area to try out. I doesn't have to be the best course just something with decent greens to have fun on.

Thanks in advance.

If you don't mind driving over the Panama City, Signal Hill is cheap, short and pretty fun. Typical FL municipal style course.

I played Kelly Plantation in Destin back in June. It's a private course. Nicest I've played but very tough. Fun though. Huge greens and one hole goes right along the sound.

Destin's a pretty ritzy place so it may be tough to find one for cheap. There's a several resort courses there though.

This is also off season so you should be able to get a good rate.

There is crappy place called Golf Garden. Waste of time and money. Take the extra time and go to a real course. You can get some good rates at Baytowne/Raven or Regatta Bay these days.

If you don't mind driving across the bay and you have to pay a toll but, Bluewater Bay is a decent place for not that much I would image that time of year it would be pretty cheap. It has four different nines instead of two eighteens. I personally like the Lake and Marsh courses the best but the magnolia is not to bad.

The Eglin AFB course is outstanding for the money. Many military courses have been opened to civilians in the past 5 years so there's a better than even chance you'll be able to get on to play it. Dig around on the site or call the pro shop for the answer. You can't get a better 36 holes for the price.

Ben Hogan is my swing coach.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By Shindig · Posted

      Day 51 (yesterday was 50, not 59 -- that was a typo).  I didn't have a ton of time today.  I hit a dozen balls with a 6-iron in my practice room.   Amazingly, after this I did the ShotScope analysis of yesterday's round;  my approach play was at the 5 hcp level.  That's pretty darn good, but unfortunately for my score, some of that came from hitting a few good recovery shots.  But I also hit some really good approach shots that weren't from trouble!

      What'd You Shoot Today?

      By JetFan1983 · Posted

      Shot a 37 today! Palmer Course, PGA National. Really fun. 6/9 GIR, no lost balls. The double and the bogey were both three putts from like 35 feet or so.  The birdie at the last was really fun. I stood over that fifteen footer and thought wow I’m really about to make this, aren’t I? And I hearted it. Really fun. It’s like 9000 degrees outside but I battled through it well. Good times.

      By bkuehn1952 · Posted

      I had been in a bit of a slump for the month of June. Handicap index has slowly risen, and there were few sub-80 scores. Today was a different story at Leslie Park GC. Lots of solid shots, GIR's, up & downs, for a 77 (7.8 differential). As with most rounds, there were a few loose shots and crappy putts, but it was a good day.
