Emerald Bay Golf Club
Rating Snapshot
About
Located right along the water, Emerald Bay Golf Club was designed by Bob Cupp to be Destin's premier full-service, 18-hole championship course. Water is a prominent feature as the course overlooks the shores Choctawhatchee Bay and incorporates water features on 12 of the holes. Oftentimes golfers will face an intimidating shot across a lake or a pond. Emerald Bay Golf Club's sculpted fairways and tight greens are always in excellent condition. There are four sets of tees that make the golf course accessible to most players' abilities and no matter what skill level you are, the views are not to be missed. The views are especially breathtaking on the back nine, which borders the bay. There is also an expansive driving range at Emerald Bay that golfers can use before playing the golf course.

Condition Issues
Semi-wet fairways with too many cart path restrictions. Greens were just average with condition issues. Bunkers were not raked. Will not play here again.

Emerald Bay golf
The greens were fast and browned out my guess is not over seeded, but it did not effect anyones putting. But its January its expected. Overall I had a great day

Great day!!
This was my second time at this course and will be back again. It’s a good layout that puts a premium on driving, while there is plenty of room you want a hit it straight. The greens rolled nice and made some putts!! A special shout out to the Starter, what a great guy!!!!!

Fun day
A little cold today but a great time playing with three other buds. The Buffalo chicken sandwiches were excellent at the bar and plenty of drinks were flowing. Lost a few balls but found many more. Two birdies will keep me coming back

Emerald bay
A lot of target golf, traps were very ruff around the edges. Green were in great shape, I just enjoy a course that’s more player friendly. Course was very wet on about 6 holes off very little rain.

Good but challenging course
Course was in good condition for time of the year and staff was friendly. Lots of water—bring extra balls if you’re a beginner.
