Hole #9 I especially liked. It is a par 5 that with a good shot in the fairway should give you a good downhill roll and push the possibility of the green in two with water along the right side.
On the downside I am not sure this course is ready yet to be open. Fairways are a little burned but the greens were a bigger issue for us. Every green had slices cut in them maybe one foot apart across the entire green. I would guess this occurred maybe a couple of weeks ago but the greens needed more time to grow. Tough to putt with the bounces and ball getting into the groves. #9 green has a large area of replacement sod that does not appear to be healing very well.
All in all I do like this course and hope it does not get overused and burned out.

Try OG, Lopez, Glenview or Palmer ALL in excellent condition. Pensacola at Bonifay is brand new and in great shape.Play it before the golfers destroy it.
Don't drag down TV because of one course......just sayin
