Area Golf Courses Offer Coastal Flair

From coastal breezes and Audubon awards to stately pines, golfing on the Gulf is an escape worth planning and area courses are sure to tee up surprises.

The Pensacola Area offers a variety of golfing experiences, with more than a half a dozen golf courses within the area for recreational and serious golfers.

Venture out to coastal courses in Perdido Key to see how balmy breezes from the Gulf of Mexico add a challenge, while preserving the natural beauty of the Gulf Coast. Or go inland to find stately pine-wrapped fairways and undulating hills.

Island greens and tight water-lined fairways, hills and elevation changes, premium facilities and expert professional golf staff — oh yes, check. The Pensacola area has your golf link.
