Regatta Bay Golf & Yacht Club

By far and away best course I’ve played in Destin.
Staff is very friendly and welcoming. Driving Range, Putting Green and Chipping Area are great.
There is no comparison to the 2 other courses I have played : The Raven and Kelly Plantation.

I'm a snow bird who loves to play golf. I'm an 19 handicap and found this pleasant course in Destin. The people were great and the course was plenty for me. The weather was in the 50s but sunny

Hats off to the staff! The course is in great shape and the greens are excellent.

Cold day 37 degrees and wind steady at 20mph. The friendly staff and club made it warm. Enjoyed the course and fast greens! Nice amenities including onboard GPS w green slopes. Eagles flying were a bonus, so cool

Loved my experience at the course a couple of days ago. Me and my friend were 2nd tee time on the sheet. The nice starter fellow send us first instead. We finished in 3 hr 25 min in a leisure pace. Everything from the tee to the fairway and especially the greens are in top notch condition for any time of the year much less for the middle of the winter. A lot of other courses in the area have soggy fairways due the big storm a few days ago. This course has very little of it. The drainage work has been done the right way. Greens rolls at least 11. Th layout is extremely fun from the second tee back. Plus the great company and friendly wager I had a blast. The cart lady even made it to us that early in the day. Staff and services are top notch. Only complaint was about the bar lady. She was a little less responsive to us getting a couple of drinks. To be fair she had a swarm of Sunday brunchers(?) coming in at the same time we sat down. Still she needs to serve us before serving the locals that came in for the brunch.

At any rate as far as golf playing experience this is by far the best I’ve had in this area.

Great course, the greens are very fun with some subtle breaks, roll fast and true. Great condition

Pro-shop register personnel were kind, knowledgeable and helpful. We were able to use the driving and putting green. I would rate the staff a 10 on a 1-10 scale.
The only issue was that the pace of play was a little slow. We found our three golfers behind a group of five golfers.
We started very early afternoon a but the eighteenth hole was played in darkness.
The ranger should have been more proactive.
Thank you

Played this course for the first time on Jan 11/24 and had a great time. Was lucky enough to be paired with a duo who had played here many times. They were able to share valuable information on hazards to avoid & offered tips on target lines. Thanks Ed & Dwayne.

Played the blue tees (6383 yds) & found the track layout to offer its fair share of challenging holes. Pace of play was average @ 4.25 hrs.

Overall, I have no serious complaints but if I were to nitpick, I'd say the reception I received in the pro shop could have been handled better. I simply didn't get the vibe of being a valued customer.

As a VIP membership holder, I will certainly be back to take on the course again.

We winter each year in the panhandle of Florida and I love to play this course every time I come to the panhandle. Regatta Bay has the best greens in the entire area. The greens are fast and smooth (no bumpy puts).The course drains well. Other courses in the area were flooded and cart path only, but apparently RB was designed and built with the weather in mind. The layout is super and offers a lot of risk/reward opportunities. I will always come back untill they give me a reason not to

Course was excellent shape especially with all rain previous day. Greens were perfect. Staff was friendly and helpful. Would recommend to anyone.

I’ve played here several times the last few winters and this place never disappoints. The pace of play was great as we played in 3 hours and 30 minutes. The greens were nice and fast and that’s a plus. The Golf Now price was great, there weren’t a lot of players so I think the regular price might scare a few off. They have a great staff inside and out!!!! Will definitely play again!!

When we made the turn, we were the sixth group on that hole. One on the green, one in the fairway, 4 waiting to tee off. The starters were nice enough to allow me to go back and replay the front 9 again. No one out ahead of me, 55 minutes later, I finished my 18. Still the most challenging track in the Destin area in my opinion.

Staff friendly course great conditions great but pace of play was 5 1/2 hours
