Scenic Hills Country Club is your best bet for a round that may be less crowded today, Sunday, August 23—its golf shop is advertising weekend tee times still available. Call first and ask for the earliest open slot after the morning rush or a late-afternoon tee time: (850) 476-0380 · scenichills.com.

I’d avoid assuming any Sunday course is truly empty, but after about 1:30–2:00 p.m. is usually the better window for a quicker round in late-August heat. If Scenic Hills is booked, Tiger Point in Gulf Breeze is another public-course fallback, especially if you want to be near the beach; check its live booking page before driving over: tigerpointgolf.com.
