It's a golfer's dream that offers distinct styles of courses. For a map of area golf courses, click here . There are Scottish-links type courses, such as The Moors Golf Club in Milton, the site of the annual Senior PGA Emerald Coast Classic in March. And don't forget the sand. Being near the Gulf of Mexico, most of the golf courses provide plenty of bunkers loaded with white sand - a place that is not a player's idea of a day at the beach.
Many courses offer various specials depending on the time of day.
Many times you can play a leisurely round with little traffic in the heat of the day during the summer. If you're really good, there is usually a tournament or two going on each weekend. The pros at most courses are willing to help you improve your game - for a fee, of course. There are several organizations for amateurs, pros and seniors. If you want to join a club, many have men's, women's and youth leagues and there are several senior groups that play at different courses throughout the year.
