![]() Two tips: have some cracked corn to feed the local geese who congregate near the first few holes and who honk in unison at good shots layups at the island green are just smart golf. And the 18th requires a totally straight long iron off the fairway to avoid the pond left of the green. The 15th demands a quiet draw off the tee and over a pond. The two best designed holes come up on the back nine ā the par 4 15th and the 18th. The island green par 4 is next and not to be taken lightly, even with a sand wedge in your hand. Such as the par 3 fourth hole, a long shot over a pond and a bunker. Special warning ā you may need to regrip your ball retriever on at least a dozen holes and Iām talking serious water here. If you manage to get past the first hole without falling asleep, the remaining holes present a terrific challenge, with some quite intriguingly designed holes. The clubhouse is very nicely appointed with a neat bar and dining room and the young man in the pro shop always fitted me in nice and early on. But no need to mention the thin fairways or the chopped-up tees, which will resurrect themselves in a few months. It is highly unusual in February to be able to putt on greens this good and it was actually a pleasure. For my money, I like the condition and creativity of Hidden Creek. Locals and members sometimes they feel and act like they own the course and this was definitely an example of that. View 1 photos of this 9,148 sqft lot land with a list price of 30000. After walking to the green with only my putter thinking I saw my ball it wasn't until I got to what I thought was my ball that I realized it wasnt mine and mine was in the trap but there were no less than a dozen balls ON or around the green. Rio Bravo Ct, Gulf Breeze, FL 32563 is for sale. Got stuck behind a group of 5 (caught them on the 10th) and they played slow, parked in the front of every green, hit multiple balls, refused to let us play through and then on 18 met up with their buddies where at least 20 people were sitting atop the hill (right next to the clubhouse so it could not have gone unnoticed) hitting balls onto the 18th green. My other recommendation would be play in the morning.in the afternoon it got really backed up and had a few issues with locals. 3 is the best, most creative hole layout on the course and 4 has the best backdrop. While the island green on 5th gets alot of the attention, the stars of the show are holes 3 and 4. We played from the whites and every hole seemed like it was a straight, 360-380 yard par 4 with some bunkers lining the fairway (especially on the back). The layout is pretty boring to me and just seems like the same hole over and over. If you're coming from Pensacola I could justify it more than if you're coming from Navarre (or further east) but I just think courses like Hidden Creek are better.
