kc boys okeefe
Guys in the proshop were extremely helpful in setting up carts and making sure we had everything we needed. Thank you guys for everything. We will be back!!!
Golf
My wife and I have been vacationing in this area for over 20 years. I typically play 4-6 rounds of golf and Regatta Bay is one of my favorites. The course is very well maintained and the staff always friendly. There are plenty of scenic holes which make for great photographs.
Thanks for taking the time to leave us a review and 5 star rating! We appreciate your business and hope to have you back again soon!
Course was airrated, sanded greens. Probably a better course when it fills in. Extremely slow.
Thanks for taking the time to leave a rating and review. Correct, the course underwent aerification last week with ample notification and rates deeply discounted through 5/15. Hope to have you back again to enjoy the course. Thanks again!
Regatta Bay - 5/12/26
Facility and range were great. Pro shop had a nice selection of gear as well.
The greens had just been aerated a week prior so I will trust they would normally be pretty good. The fairways and teeboxes were a little spotty and not what I expected for the money. Rough was playable and bunkers were great. Layout was fairly interesting with some unique holes that required placement off the tee. Fairways were tight in places. I am a 3 HCP and shot 78 from the blues so I feel it was rated accurately.
Thanks for the review, you are correct that we were a week removed from spring aerification when you played and the course continues to heal up nicely with the recent much needed rain and the warming overnight temps. We make a point of deeply discounting our rates for two full weeks post-aerification to account for the recovering conditions. We regret you didn't seem to see the value despite our efforts. Come back soon and give us another try. Thanks again!
Always great place to play!!!
Greens had just been aerated 10 days before, but the green fee was adjusted for that. Staff is always professional, left an expensive clothing item in my golf cart in which they held for me inside the clubhouse to pick up later that day.. every time I’m in Destin I play at Regatta Bay.
Thanks Mr. Smith! We appreciate your time and effort to leave a review and we're glad you had another great experience with us! Hope to see you out here again soon! Many thanks sir!
Thanks for the 4 stars. We hope to have you back again soon!
Thanks for the 5 stars! Come back soon!
Regatta Bay Golf Club - Destin, Fl
Was in town for the week on vacation and wanted to play a round. Looked at a few courses online and settled on Regatta Bay and couldn’t have happier with my choice. I was blown away with the course! The staff was welcoming and friendly and that made the experience that much better. The course layout suites golfers of many skill levels. 10 out of 10. I highly recommend Regatta Bay.
Thanks for the great rating and review! Thanks for choosing us! We're glad you enjoyed your experience with us and hope to have you back sometime soon! Thanks again!
Bad timing
We always enjoy Regatta Bay but this time we caught it right after punching the greens. We were warned but still chose to play there. We still enjoyed the course.
Thanks for taking the time to leave a review! With the rain that's following spring aerification this week, the course will heal up nicely and quickly. Discounted rates remain for another week too. Come on back soon to take advantage! Thanks again!
5 stars! Awesome! Hope to have you back soon! Thanks!
Golf pass GPS is WRONG
Do not use the GPS location provided by Golfpass that comes with your email confirmation. It will take you to a park located 5 miles away from the course. Google Regatta Bay separately. I was late to my Tee Time because of this. However, the staff was excellent and worked me in to another group. Beautiful course.
Sorry to hear about the GPS challenge you had. We weren't aware but will definitely look into it. Glad it all worked out though and thanks for coming out. Hope to see you out here again soon. Thanks for taking the time to leave a review!
Nice course - but tough for average players
This course is a first class facility in every way. Beautiful clubhouse and friendly staff make it very welcoming when you get there. Nice practice areas while waiting for your tee time are a bonus. But if you are an average hacker like me, expect some challenges that day. Just enjoy the scenery and the experience.
Thanks for sharing your experience with us! We're always listening and learning so we can improve. Yes, it's a challenging golf course for sure! Hope to see you out here again soon!
5 stars! Thanks so much! Hope to have you back again soon!
Thanks for the 5 star rating! Come back soon!
Awesome Golf Course and Restaurant
Had a great time playing the Regatta Bay Golf Course. Clearly was the best course we played in the Destin Area. Will definitely return when in the area. The course was in pristine condition and fast and smooth greens.
High praise! Thanks so much for your kind words and 5 star rating! We hope to have you back with us again soon. Thanks again for taking the time to leave a review and share your experience!
Very Professional
From start to finish I was treated with respect and professionality, and I was a single, which is usually frowned upon with some clubs
I Highly recommend
We are delighted to hear you enjoyed your time with us. Thanks for sharing your experience. See you again soon!
5 Stars! Thanks for sharing and please come see us again soon!
