The courses feature water on 21 of the 27 holes and are meticulously manicured to PGA specifications throughout the year.

• Signal Hill Golf Club is located close to North Lagoon on Thomas Drive, and is Panama City Beach’s oldest golf club. Designed on original powder-white dunes, this public course features wide-open, well-maintained fairways and dazzling greens. This 18-hole course is relatively flat offering confidence boosting holes as well as some tantalizing tricky ones which makes it ideal for beginners, families, or pros seeking a relaxing round. The kind, attentive staff have delighted guests for years and the club is well known for its reasonable rates.

• Semi-private golf clubs in Panama City Beach include the Marriott’s Bay Point Resort, featuring both the Nicklaus Course and The Meadows. The award-winning Nicklaus Course is the only Nicklaus Design golf course in Northwest Florida. It features lush fairways with generous plateaus and uncharacteristic elevation changes unique to the Florida Panhandle region. A few holes also offer stunning panoramic views of the Grand Lagoon and St. Andrews Bay. The Meadows course provides a classic country club style and stretches for 6,913 yards. This Florida resort golf course has the length to test the best golfer’s distance and offers several tight fairways, along with numerous bunkers and lakes which provide an ever-changing set of challenges.

• A few miles away on Panama City Beach Parkway, Holiday Golf Club is a semi-private, 18-hole par 72 Championship Course. Holiday Golf Club’s broad lake-lined fairways and elevated greens are protected by bunkers of powder-soft white sand, and this Panama City Beach golf course has been described in national golf publications as among one of Florida’s most enjoyable yet challenging tracks. Holiday Golf Club provides Bay County with the only lit Par 3 course that you can enjoy during the day or at night.

Fishing & Diving

There’s nowhere better than Panama City Beach for fishing thanks to its calm, crystal-clear waters and wealth of fish species. The Gulf and Bay waters surrounding Panama City Beach truly offer some of the finest sport fishing in the world. Along with the Gulf waters there are also inland, spring-fed creeks, and bay flats which offer a rich bounty. Test your angling versatility by fly casting for red fish in St. Andrews Bay, or troll the emerald green waters of the Gulf of Mexico for a blue marlin.

There are also numerous wrecks and artificial reefs that are perfect for fishing in the Panama City Beach area. Head out on a deep-sea charter or with a guide, and spend a fun-filled day with the family on the Gulf of Mexico. Cast a line off the pier in nearby St. Andrews State Park, or off the new Russell Fields Pier at Pier Park. Panama City Beach is home to one of the country’s largest sport fishing fleets, and visitors can choose from 16-foot-skiffs to million-dollar yachts. Get your divers certification at the Divers Den to experience the feel of the Gulf like no other!

The Conservation Park integrates two fundamental principles which remain a continuing focus for local government and community. The desire to protect and balance our natural resources while providing outdoor recreational opportunities is the driving force in establishing the Panama City Beach Conservation Park. The 2,900 acres of the West Bay Ecosystem is being protected by the management and utilization of the City’s reclaimed water to rehydrate wetlands. The natural water balance in these wetlands was altered many years ago as tree “farming” became predominant in the area.

Dog Beach at Pier Park. When standing in front of the city pier (on Front Beach Rd), the dog beach is located on the right side of the pier. Dogs must be kept on-leash. This is a great spot to allow your dog to enjoy the worlds most beautiful beaches also. Please do keep in mind that this is the ONLY PET FRIENDLY BEACH in Panama City Beach. If you do bring your pet with you to vacation you are not allowed to bring it to the beach located behind Treasure Island.

The Frank Brown Dog Park (new and improved June 2015) with 2 fenced in off-leash dog playgrounds, one for the high energy larger dogs and one for the older, slower big dogs and smaller dogs.

We also have more than two miles of dog-friendly green-ways and trails, which serve as the trail-head for Gayle’s Trails.
Get out there to the park with your pups! Please be aware that you must clean up after your doggie, waste stations are available. Please be considerate of others and if your puppy make a mess, pick it up ! There’s always other dogs to play with if your animal gets along with others!
