Kelly Plantation Golf Club

Second time playing this course. Definitely one of the top courses in Destin and worth the play. Course was in good conditions despite all the rain they had gotten the previous day. Only unfortunate thing was it was cart path only, but understandable due to the rain. The course must really drain well as there were very few soggy areas in play. Despite cart path only we played in just under 4 hours with 3 of us. Tee to green the course was in good shape. We will definitely play this course again when back in the area.

Great course, layout, driving range and the people were super nice. Great rate specially if you are 17 and under 50 dollars for a top 100 golf course.

I am not rich or a golf pro. Luckily I landed with some nice fellows to golf with, I normally golf alone having to join with folks. Course was amazing and huge. Value is probably great for others. I normally pay 23 bucks with a veteran discount on a small 9 hole course back home. Was sort of Disney like experience to me, high quality everything.

Great course; even better people working there. Highly recommend.

This course is GORGEOUS!! It's in great shape and the greens are amazing. Upon arrival, the gentleman at the bag drop was super kind, helpful and making sure I felt welcome. He set me up with a cart and then I needed to visit the ladies room. I had about 20 minutes before my tee time. When I stepped in the pro shop a man asked me, "What do you need? If you're looking to shop, we're busy checking in golfers." I know I'm a female, but I'm actually a golfer. I told him, "Yes sir, I'm just looking for the ladies room and then I have a 7:09 tee time." He then abruptly said, "Well- you've got to pay- you don't just jump on the course." I almost cried- yes, LIKE A GIRL! I was celebrating my 64th birthday and I've been playing golf for over 40 years and I've never felt so insulted. I made it to the ladies room. Checked in with this rude man and played one of the best games of my life. I didn't let him ruin my day. Every person I came in contact with besides him were super nice and fun. I'll play the course again, but I certainly hope the man in the pro shop gets some lessons in customer service and yes, women do play golf.

Excellent round at one of the best courses around. Cannot fault it. Scored it down a little on value for money just because it’s so expensive for a round. You do get what you pay for though.

Course was in great condition. Club house is beautiful and has great scenery. Staff is helpful and friendly. The greens played moderate and were well kept.

The only down fall I would say is the grounds keepers were out on the majority of the holes. I played in the middle of the week so it’s to be expected. They would pull off to the side and let you play through which was very nice.

The carts are GPS which was not ideal when it locked us out in the middle of the cart party and we had to call the club house to change out. The staff was prompt and got us into a new cart immediately.

The course is a little pricey but definitely challenging and worth it.

First time playing this course. Learned pretty quick to check all the Destin courses in August. This is when they aerate their greens. This course punched greens around a month sooner and was at least 90% back. No complaints. Great greens. Nice fairways. Very clean. Nice pro shop and very helpful and attentive staff. I really like the chilled apples at the turn. I give the course a strong recommendation.

We played two times. The first time we got lucky and didn’t see a single person ahead of us or behind us. It was like we had our own private course. The second day we were stuck behind a foursome that didn’t let us play through. We only had a twosome. It stacked up behind us. To be fair the foursome finished in four hours and 15 minutes which isn’t bad but if they would’ve let us play through, we could’ve been done in a little over three hours. There wasn’t anybody ahead of them for five holes.

Great open fairways, greens are consistent, and the course is very well taken care of.

Played Kelly Plantation on 8/25/2025. Really enjoyed the layout and the variety of tee options. It was a Sunday morning and I expected a slower pace of play. I didn’t expect the club to allow a five-some to play on a weekend. But they did and we were stuck behind them. I also wish there was some notice about the punched greens. They were starting to grown in but still a few weeks away. I paid a premium to play the courses with no notice of the green situation. Not sure the value was there as it was 2-3 times the rate of neighboring courses.
