Over priced

Course was in good shape. The guys outside collecting tee times were friendly and enjoyable to talk too. Went on Fathers Day and brought my son. Had to pay $45 just for him to ride “as a spectator fee”. Seemed as if trying to get as many people as they could with tee times. Had 3 groups on each hole the entire round. Beautiful course but won’t be back for the amount I paid.

Surprised

Ok I think Regatta Bay is the best course in the area. With that said I am surprised that they didn’t close the course yesterday during dangerous weather conditions with lightning strikes all around. The whole course was cart path only and so wet you were squishing water with every step and basically hitting mud shots all day from every where except when the ball was off the tee.

Hi Bill, thanks for the review and comments, We appreciate the feedback as it helps us improve the business. Regarding the weekend storms, we did suspend play several times as storms rolled through and always send messages to players on the course to seek shelter when appropriate. Ultimately players decide for themselves to come off the course for a rain check or wait the weather out and continue play. Thanks again for taking the time to share your thoughts and we hope to see you out here again soon (with better weather!).

Great Course, but add towels to the carts

It was a humid day and we would have appreciated towels in the carts. We've played this course twice in the last month and I would rate it top three in the Destin area.

Thanks for the rating and review, it helps us learn and grow! Sorry for the miss on the towels, we typically supply dry towels in the carts and offer cold scented ice towels on-course all summer. Perhaps we were in short supply that day but no excuses, thanks for the heads up. We'll do our very best to get it right next time!

Fun but difficult

We played the Blue tees but found them back near the tips for our round (probably played 6600). We had 2x par 4s which played 450 into the wind, so that was brutal. The tee boxes were in rough shape but fairways and greens were nice. For the GolfNow Hot Deal, it was a great deal at $100.

Beautiful Course

Course is a beautiful North Florida Bermuda course. Has some tough pin placements, but is attackable due to slowish greens.

Best course around Destin!

Best course in Destin! Greens were a 10 compared to the other courses I played same weekend. Nice layout. Little pricey but if you want to play on a well taken care of course in Destin this is it.

Summer vacation round

Regatta Bay is in great condition.Fairways are lush. Greens are fast and have subtle breaks. It is a really great test of golf. I would definitely play this course again!

Great course

Pace of play was great. Course is hard and 90-100 score golfers should play from Gold tees. We played front from white and back from gold. Gold were the correct tees for our skill level. Also no DFW golf bros blasting music and hammer drunk. Worth the money to avoid that.

Very soft

Super wet and extremely soft. Was like walking in a swamp sometimes. It was extremely soft where ball was old not roll but get stuck in ground after shot. Other than that place was beautiful, layout was fun, most of the staff were very friendly. The bartender, the lady at shop, the cart guy and the course welcome guy were super friendly and helpful they were basically above and beyond friendly. There were a few staff members with name tags in Pro shop that were snobby & looked at us like we didn’t belong in their club. My whole family felt it but the lady in shop made us feel welcomed. I guess since we are veteran Local folks we do not look like their normal tourist I guess?
