Default Where would you go...

In TV to park a golf cart and watch approach shots on a green,? Just to relax and catch a little action... exec or championship, south of 466.

Any good spots to observe without disrupting the golfers?

Just off the Buena Vista MMP on the first hole of Cherry Hill at Palmer (lots of shade in some spots also)...is one that comes immediately to mind.

While you would still be about 100 yards away, you would have a great view of the green, approach shots and putting...and there's even a bench there.

9th hole at Pensacola (Bonifay). Easy access off Pinellas. Was better before they lowered the hill.

Going South on the trail that goes through Turtle Mound then go through the tunnel then make a left (east) go about 125 yards and you will see an interesting par 3 on Bonifay. Nice because you are up above the green and can watch as people tee off from all tees and either go into the water or hit the green. There is room to pull off the path on the grass and watch the show.

I have spent many hours sitting there and watching every since Bonifay opened. Try it and you will enjoy it.

Although north of 466 sitting on the pool deck of the Chatham Rec Center and watching golfers play the 18th hole is a great spot. You’re up high just beyond the green. You also have a great view of the tee and you’ll also observe many golfers not clearing the pond and kerplunk, there goes another ball into the water. If it gets too warm you can jump into the pool to cool off.
