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.

      Best Shot of the Week

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Hole 6, 185 uphill par 3, wind out of the right. I hit a 7 iron to 5-FT left of the pin. The ball landed about 185.5 yards. I drained the putt for a birdie, and most likely a skin.  2nd place is more of a best swing made. 110 yard wedge shot, where I did what I wanted in the back swing and downswing.  I hit a 75% partial wedge 95%. It was flushed, flighted, and beautiful to watch fly over the green. 🤣. I will need to redial in the wedges sometime. Since I am making an effort to make my former 3/4 swing length my full swing length.

      Anyone Else Stick a GPS Tag in Their Golfbag?

      Is that like "the longest yardstick you can find"? I don't have Airtags but I'd call all of them Airtags too.!

      Wind and Putting?

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Yea, that makes sense.  I remember an Open tournament when they brought out the wind meter one day because balls were being blown around the green. I think it was 45+ sustained, which probably means 60 mph gusts.  I think for the most part, it isn't something that needs to be taken into account.  Also, a golf ball is designed to optimally move through the air. It has better aerodynamics than a sphere.  Thanks for your expertise on this. That makes sense. I know about how wind diminishes the lower in height you go. I didn't know it went near zero at the ground. I deal more with tall structures (utility poles), and we have to take into account height and impacts of wind on the pole. A bit of experience, but wasn't sure how close to zero, non-impactful it was on the golf ball on the ground.
