About

Formerly home to a turpentine plantation, the site now offers one of the most environmentally sensitive courses in northwest Florida, Kelly Plantation. The golf course sits along the shores of the Choctawhatchee Bay, sprawling across a waterfront landscape of towering trees and swampy bayous. The course features large, contoured greens and wide, manicured fairways that are in excellent condition but can also be tricky to navigate. The strategically placed hazards also require some careful maneuvering. In addition to being a challenging round, the golf course is also known for its stunning scenic appeal. Throughout the layout, golfers can enjoy panoramic views across the bay to the abundant magnolias and palmettos that are native to Florida's northwest region. For these reasons, Kelly Plantation has received high praise from publications such as Golf Digest and Golf Magazine.

I’m absolute blast to play

Everything about the course the layout the condition pays a play is five star. The old guy work in the Pro Shop can be very rude and someone needs to pull him out of there. He is riding the verge of running the experience

Awesome Course

First time playing this course. We had players ranging from 1 1/2 yrs to 30 experience. I think it was a good challenge for all levels of play. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

Another Great Day

KP is a great course for all types of golfers. Lots of tees to choose from. This course has a great layout and the 3rd and 4th holes are particularly scenic. It is worth it to play if you are in the Destin area.
