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.

This was once a great course

First time back after more than 4 years even though I told the group it was not worth it - well it was hard not to say I told you so. If you hit the ball straight down the fairway you have a more than average chance of a good lie, miss a little left/right and you chances reduce dramatically. Greens roll nice except for the pot holes, weeds and gravel from the traps. Traps are inconsistent throughout the course. Save your frustration and go somewhere else.

For this time of the year - ok

The fairways were sparse - it's winter - the greens were in fairly good shape and ran pretty true - apparently they've had some recent flood damage but we worked around it. Would play there again. Facilities very nice and friendly staf.

Needs grass

Fairways are primarily soil - about 35%actual turf. They roll like a parking lot so distance is good but lies are tight.

Pretty rough around the edges.

Go somewhere else

Probably the worst course I’ve ever played. Just moved to Pensacola 2 months ago from Michigan. I’d rather play in the snow in Michigan than play this course again.

Getting better

Scenic went through some major issues last summer when they had a water main break. They lost 4 greens and the course looked horrible. They have overseeded for the winter, and while a couple greens still have trouble spots, overall they were very puttable. Fairways were in decent shape. The bunkers still need work though.

Rough Shape

Course is in pretty rough shape. I was visiting the area and played this course first. Afterwards I went to a local golf shop and told them were I had played and that I was not thrilled and they all said it’s the bottom of the barrel course for the area. Played Cypress Lakes today and was much happier.
