Kelly Plantation Golf Club

Alright. For two consecutive years, Jim's (Guy in the clubhouse) treatment of our group at the clubhouse has been abysmal. It's baffling how he manages to hold onto his job. If you delve into our past reviews, you'll notice similar grievances from last year. As I highlighted in last year's review, our group has been visiting Destin for 41 years. We consist of 9 to 12 golfers who play every day while in town and aim to play Kelly at least 2 to 3 times during our stay—it's one of our preferred courses. However, due to the poor service we've endured during our last two rounds, we've made the decision to take our business elsewhere. Regatta or Indian Bayou will now be our go-to choices, as we've never encountered such issues there.

Course was great, only reason that it wasn’t perfect was that they had just punched the greens. However we were told that before hand, and the price reflected this as well, so overall very pleased with the course.

Great course!! Friendly staff and pace of play was great

We had a great round at Kelly Plantation. Pro shop staff was very helpful at check-in and the rental clubs were in pretty good shape. They mentioned rentals will be replaced soon with newer Callaways. The course was in good shape. Tee boxes were great and the fairways were mostly well maintained. The greens were sandy and bumpy but did not hinder my putting. Pace of play was quite good, we finished a full round in 4 hrs. The food and service at the grill afterwards was very good.

The course is beautiful, the pace of play was amazing, the staff was super friendly and professional and the whole golf experience was unparalleled. I will return.

We weren’t told that the course was arreated the day before. There was sand on every green but we made the most of it by taking no more than 2 putts after reaching the green. Overall we had a good round and enjoyed ourselves.

Perfect weather, great service, beautiful course. Combine that with the best round I’ve shot this year and well… hard to be dissatisfied with anything. Would love to come back.

Hands down the best course in the area in the best condition. Great layout and fund course. Staff was exceptional and most of all welcoming and friendly. Enjoyed a gorgeous day on the course with my 2 sons. We were parked with a 4th who we made fast friends with. Well all be back!

Great round. I was paired with good people as well. The staff in the pro shop was great, and the on course drink person was great as well. Course was in great shape, and the greens were awesome! Driving range was also wonderful. The only thing I would like for them to do, is to let out of town people come to the range for a couple days in advance of their tee time, to get some swings in and stuff. (Willing to pay for that), as the nearest driving range is 40 minutes.

Everything about this course was perfect. It’s a little more expensive than the other courses in the area. But it was well worth the round. Will definitely be playing here again next time I vacation.
