Golf in Niceville

Niceville is a city in Okaloosa County in the Panhandle, on the northern shore of Choctawhatchee Bay. Three courses serve the community (Bluewater Bay Resort, Eglin Golf Course, and Rocky Bayou Country Club) in a market shaped by the proximity to Eglin Air Force Base, which occupies a vast portion of the county. No hole-count data is in public records for Rocky Bayou. The military and civilian workforce of the Eglin complex, the bay-side residential base, and the Emerald Coast resort economy sustain the local golf market. The Boggy Bayou Mullet Festival is one of the area's better-known annual events, reflecting the community character of this bay-adjacent Panhandle city.
