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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.
