With pristine Bermuda grass and sharply framed fairways just northwest of Pensacola Beach, the semi-private club Scenic Hills Country Club offers more than just your typical day on the links and promises outstanding playing conditions and generous views. This par-71, 6,731-yard Chic Adams design has maintained the elements of a true masterpiece since opening in 1958 through careful maintenance and a beautiful reconstruction by Jerry Pate in 1992.

With four sets of tee locations and a slope rating of 73.4/130, the steep variance of elevations and distance is sure to appeal to the amateur and accomplished player alike. The tree-lined and bunker-speckled fairways at Scenic Hills Country Club give every golfer the professional experience they're looking for and with the excellent course conditions, it's no surprise the course is rated as one of the best facilities in the area.

When you head out the course, take some sound advice from the pros. Playing to the middle of these greens is in your best interest as the pin placements can run a tricky game behind the strategically placed bunkers and impossible hazards. With a layout of this nature, every player’s likely to club up to save par and have an enjoyable round. From the par-4 No. 1 starting downhill to a double-bunkered approach shot, to the No 18 picturesque finish straight uphill, Scenic Hills Country Club will give you the 'course encounter' you don’t soon forget.

Wrap up the round with a drive down the middle of No 18 and hope for a favored front-pin placement to close out before tallying up at Caponi’s Grille. With excellent bar and patio seating, ice-cold drinks and assorted menu items, this 19th Hole is sure to be a favorite finish. Warm up at the excellent practice facilities available from dusk till dawn, which include a driving range adjacent to the fully stocked pro-shop and a putting- and chipping-green available for improving your short game.

So stop on by and see where the professionals do it at this top-rated club just around the corner from Pensacola — it’s a level of golf that every player should experience!
