Cotton creek - eh...not much to write home about. Been at least 10 years since I played there though. I like the Peninsula club. Best course in the area is Lost Key in Perdido though. Unbelievable test of target golf.

Kiva is pretty nice.

I was down there in march for a bachelor's party and it is a nice track for the money. Good greens and nice layout.

I used to share your admiration of Lost Key (Palmer course) but Katrina jacked up that course in a very bad way. It was a total loss. I waited until last summer (2007) to give it a try and it was the worst looking course I have ever played on. The next day we played Kiva Dunes and found out why everyone says that's the best course the Redneck Riviera has to offer. I HIGHLY recommend Kiva.</p>

That's the most frustrating 18 holes I've ever played. There is nothing fun about losing your ball if you miss a fairway or green. You're average duffer simply can't play that course without losing a full dozen or more. There is NO damn rough. Just effing wasteland.

Kiva Dunes and Peninsula are my two favorites. Challenging, good layouts, but you can have a few beers and make some pars and birdies if you're having a good day.

The Penninsula is my favorite course on the planet. Best 27 holes around

I really like Kiva Dunes too.

I played both courses the second week of April and I liked Cypress Bend more than Cotton Creek, though both were very nicely maintained and layed out. I probably couldn't go wrong with choosing either of them.

</p>The Peninsula is an OK track, but best course on the planet? You should really step away from the keyboard sometime and get out more.

a complete full-fledged turd arent ya? It costs a 100 to play the course, its beautiful, and you are getting on me about the course I love? Eat a dick moron

Lost Ball errrr Lost Key. It's back now, but still frustrating. If you're a yard off the fairway, your ball is lost.

Perdido Bay Country Club is a very nice layout. It's just over the Baars bridge from Lost Key. They played the USGA Pensacola Open there until the mid 80's. If you're a repeat player there, it's $40 incl cart.
