Great track

Everyone at Regatta is very accommodating, greens in great shape, maybe the superintendent from Bay Point could make a visit and learn how to grow good greens!!

Awesome time

This was a fun day of golf. Course was excellent and the greens rolled true. Met three nice guys and had a fun time. From pace of play to friendly staff. Can be intimidating going through a rich neighborhood and super nice club house but staff made you feel right at home. You will love playing here. Will be back again.

Best course in Destin

Always make a point to play Regatta Bay when we come for our annual beach trip. The practice facilities are some of the best you will find anywhere. Staff and amenities are always top notch. I've never had a bad experience here. You get your money's worth for sure.

Beautiful layout

My son and I really enjoyed this course. The staff was very accommodating which was refreshing. Fairways and roughs were in great shape. The greens were still pretty sandy from aeration so they didn’t roll very well. The cups were rolled pretty good also. Overall it was in great shape compared to other courses in the area.

Thanks for taking the time to share your experience with us and for your business, we appreciate you! We aerated way back in early May but the periodic topdressing you saw on the greens is essential to maintaining their long term health during these hot stretches in the summertime here in NW Florida. Thanks again for playing with us and hope to have you back again soon!

Friendliest starter ever!

Beautiful course! Can’t believe this is public! A little pricey but range balls included. Starter is possibly the friendliest human I have ever met. He led us to the range and gave us a course overview before we started. Fantastic experience! Will definitely come back!

Regatta Bay never disappoints! It is expensive but it is worth it. The course is incredible. It makes you feel like you’re playing a PGA quality venue.

Tee prep for player’s

I played Regatta three days this week,the pairing of players wasn’t very good I’m a 20 handicap 63 year old and I was paired with young players who were black tee players shooting under par and I felt like I was rushing through the whole game which caused my score to be over 100 when I usually shoot in the mid 80-90, after paying such a price to play I thought the Marshall could do better at pairing the team , other than that it was a good time

Thanks for the feedback Richard, we always appreciate hearing from our guests so we can learn and grow from their experiences.

Pairings are based on booked-in-advanced tee times, not skill level. For future rounds as a single player with a preference for skill-based pairings, we recommend you not book a tee time in advance and instead just walk-in. That would give our Starter some flexibility on pairings and we would try, but couldn't ever guarantee, to work you into a pairing more aligned with your h'cap and skill level.

Thanks again for sharing your experience and for the 4 star rating! Hope to have you back again soon!

Delightful Golf Round

My brother and I teed off at 1115 on a Thursday and had an extremely enjoyable golf round. I wish Regatta was less expensive, but all aspects of conditioning met expectations. Kyle at the bag drop area is an excellent agent for the establishment, setting the tone for what was to come. I'm pretty sure it was JZ that engaged me before the round and was a bit modest about conditions; we were well pleased from A to Z. It'd be nice to hit off grass vs. mats to warm up. I was glad we got a hot deal and hope to return soon!
