Tiger Point Golf Club

Today's GroupGolfer feature lets you explore the Gulf Coast's "most scenic layout," which has also been recognized as "Best Golf Course" in the Pensacola News Journal's 2010 "Best of the Bay": $24 for 18 Holes with Cart and Range Balls at Tiger Point Golf Club in Pensacola ($59 Value. Good Any Day, Any Time until February 28, 2012.)

Jerry Pate, renowned architect and former PGA professional golfer, constructed Tiger Point Golf and Country Club in 1965. With the combined experience of his professional career and his unique perspective on championship golf lending thoughtfulness to his design, Pate has created something special in these immaculate fairways and cut-tight greens. Intended to challenge the finer points of the game, Tiger Point's trials and tribulations are something that roll in and out on this Gulf Coast gem like an evening tide.

Stretching 7,041 yards from the back tees with a rating of 74.2/141, this 18-hole, par-72 links-style layout received the vote as “Best in the Bay” by the Pensacola News Journal and has received repeated awards for difficult holes as well as best overall course since renovations in 2001. With a track surrounded by inspiring views and water hazards to boot, Tiger Point is a no-bones-about-it challenge wrapped in sublime aesthetics. This course requires more than just the clubs in your bag; it requires your utmost attention and patience. Though it may be peppered with beautiful bayside swings and inspiring backdrops, all that ocean is sure to leave your scorecard a little salty.

Boasting the best views in the Bay, this coastal clubhouse offers more than just your average pit stop between nines. Overlooking the intracoastal waterways are just one way to end a round, and who wouldn’t appreciate a cool and comfortable bay breeze after a hot round in sunny Florida? Additionally, the staff at the sunset-inspired patio and newly designed clubhouse provide top-notch, friendly service.

Stuff your stocking with something that all of Santa’s helpers will envy — get to the Gulf Coast and experience what these bayside fairways have to offer at Tiger Point Golf and Country Club!
