Emerald Bay Golf Club

For all the reviews in the past week or two that have said this course is not in good condition they must have played a different course. Yes there were a couple of spots on a few greens, but with the Florida head you will always have that. The course is in excellent condition from tees to greens. Worth the price and will play here again when I come back to visit.

This was my first time playing golf in Florida and I can be considered a beginner. The staff was very helpful and friendly. The grounds are well kept and great views. It did rain but less than 20 mins and the staff helped dry off my cart so I could get back to playing. Even with the rain I was able to complete all 18 holes at a great pace. I would recommend this course to anyone traveling.

Everyone here was very friendly and helpful. From the people that check is in to the carts mans thanks!

The course is coming along well after being punched but many of the tee boxes are really bad.

It was our first time to play this course and it will be a regular stop for us on our next vacation. The course was in terrific shape. We enjoyed the visit and the staff was top notch!

1st time at emerald bay it was a very nice course layout was awsome was challenging staff were super cool I will be back to play course again the next time I am in destin fl

Management was great at the beginning of the round until we made the turn. The starter sent us out as a group of 5 since we had a guy back out, and told us to keep up with pace and we’d be fine. That didn’t happen and they were very rude about speeding up pace of play. Don’t send out a group of 5 and expect them to keep up when you have a group of 2 in front and a group of 3 behind a group of 5.

Great golf experience, enjoyed the whole course and the playing was as expected.

This is one of my favorite courses in Destin. We started early ahead of a large group so it worked out good. Course was in good shape and a fun layout. The only discrepancy i would have is there were three different groups of six that were fortunately behind us or the pace might have been slow. If I’m in Destin again, I will definitely try to play it again

Paid $120 to play this club with my dad . Course conditions were terrible . Tee boxes with no grass at all (like litterally dirt ) greens had big patches missing green . Went right in after to ask for a partial refund due to how bad it was but was told the head pro was gone for the day (3:30 btw) was told to call next day . Was told by cart guy that the course was indeed in rough shape and that he wishes they would lower rate to reflect course struggles . Called next day and was told by head pro (rude) that course was in great shape and to kick rocks essentially and that he wouldn’t help me . He then proceeded to say that $120 was the 9 hole rate ( yahhhhh ok man) would never go back and will tell everyone I know to avoid like the plague .

The clubhouse staff and the women in the carts were great. A couple of the greens were in bad shape but all in all a pretty good vacation course
