Bonifay Country Club (Destin/Fort Walton)

Overview: The Destin/Fort Walton routing is an 18-hole combination of two nine-hole loops at The Villages’ 27-hole Bonifay Championship Course. The par-72 course moves across rolling ground with elevation changes, water carries, and the green complexes for which Clifton, Ezell and Clifton are credited.

History: Bonifay initially opened with the Destin and Fort Walton nines in fall 2011; the Pensacola loop completed the 27-hole facility. The Villages’ official page lists five tee sets spanning the facility from 4,763 to 7,090 yards, but does not assign a separate total to this routing.

Did You Know? The Fort Walton nine includes a par-four tee shot that carries water before an uphill approach, one of the course features highlighted in The Villages’ description. Combining it with Destin gives this routing its changing elevation and water rhythm.
