Very welcoming staff from phone call, to proshop, starter and marshall. Nice t boxes and fairways, greens a tad slow which is better for me. Only complaint is they don’t allow walkers. I’d play this course again.

Nice course pace of play was terrible

Course was in good condition but looks like they punched in the last 2 weeks and were top dressing that day during the round. Pace of play was terrible! We had a single with 2 very young kids with him that jumped in front of us on the back 9. The gentleman had no idea about course etiquette and was letting his kids drive the cart and swing and putt all over the course. It would take 25-30minutes to play a hole. We called in and mentioned to the Proshop what was going on and they sent a ranger out which did nothing. We saw the ranger again 2 holes later and told him nothing had changed and he again did nothing. At this point there were now 4 groups backed up because of this person and the staff was doing nothing about it. The back 9 took 3 hours to play which ruined our round of golf. I have never seen anything like it

Beach course

One of the better courses in the panhandle. The prices are ridiculous for the course conditions. Greens are slow for seasoned golfers. Greens are fast in the panhandle. Get ready for a five hour round.

Solid layout nice track

Overall very nice experience. Friendly staff. Driving range and warm up area in nice shape. Greens were a little slow and sandy; conditions I'm not accustomed to and never really got the hang of them. Cost was very competitive if you are a single and joining another group.

Thanks for the 5 stars and for the great review! Greens in this area are still waking up for the season but they will be speeding up soon with the consistent warmer temps we're seeing here in early April. Come on back soon! Thanks again for your business and taking the time to comment!

Greatest Experience Ever

I had the greatest experience ever getting paired with HOF baseball player. I will not say who it was in honor of his privacy. He was extremely gracious and kind during the round. The course and greens were in great shape. I definitely will be back again to play Regatta Bay!

Great Public Opportunity - Price justified?

I understand the financial demands of running a golf course. What i don't understand is the charging $200+ for a round at an average golf course.

Its nice, it's challenging, the greens are fine. But there is just nothing special that says - $200 lets go do it!

If you get a deal time or rates drop to $100-$150 for regular rounds - ok give it a shot and see what you think.
