Unlike many other courses in the state, Scenic Hills Country Club sprawls across a scenic landscape of rolling hills. In addition to the dramatic elevation changes throughout the course, the holes are sharply framed by towering pines that line the fairways. The holes play to generous putting surfaces that provide a variety of hole placements, but its best to play to the middle of the greens since there are strategically placed bunkers guarding all of the greens. Water hazards also come into play on six holes, but they require only minimal forced carries. Scenic Hills C.C. opens with what is arguably its most challenging holes. The par-4 hole plays downhill to a green that is not only protected on both the left and right with bunkers, but there is also a steep-faced bunker that is not visible from the fairway.

Disrepair

Used to enjoy this course a few years ago but between the weeds invading the greens, the rough that has become sand/dirt traps, uneven tee boxes with nothing left to hit off, cart paths with missing segments, well, it’s become hard to enjoy. it has seen far better days. $55 is a rather shocking price, although they need the money for about a billion dollars of work needed. Would recommend elsewhere until it is figured out

Woman-Friendly Golf Course

We loved the purple tee boxes for women! Finally, a golf course where we have SENIOR women tee boxes. This is the first course where we have found a SENIOR woman tee box that makes the golf game more equal for women playing men. Loved this course and will definitely be back when our foresome of two men and two women are playing golf.

Course was in good shape considering it is in the middle of winter. The only down side was the greens were bumpy from grass (poa annua) intrusion.

Great clubhouse but poorly maintained course

It's unfortunate that they don't maintain the course. The layout is very nice but it's in absolutely crap condition. Clubhouse is beautiful.

Course Maintenance?

Stop spending money on the clubhouse and the restaurant and spend the money on maintaining the course. No grass on some tee boxes, worn down cart paths and worn out areas near or around the greens. These problems have been there for years. This course could be one of the best courses in Pensacola if it were better maintained.
