Always a Great Experience

Regatta Bay is always one of the best golf experiences in the Destin area. The course is in great shape, the greens are very nice. The staff was absolutely outstanding today. Very friendly and helped at every opportunity. One of the only courses in the area that actually has water stationed throughout the course. And plenty of bev cart/halfway house options. And can't leave a review without mentioning their practice facilities. They have one of the best driving range, chipping green, and putting green areas you will find. All conveniently located right in between the 1st and 10th tees. Thank you for a great day, Regatta Bay! I may not play anywhere else at this point!

This course was in great shape!

Really liked the different tiered greens that added some difficulty, as well as the many fairway bunkers that you had to dodge while getting through the holes. Staff was very friendly and easy to have a conversation with, which gave an additional enjoyment added to this course.

Nice Round!

Regatta is my go-to course at the moment. I live in the area. With as many courses as there are here, few are high caliber. Regatta checks most of the boxes. Not all.

It does get a little stacked as you approach the back nine. But overall, I haven’t been pressured to hurry or needed to press on people in front me. The staff is excellent. The food is pretty tasty. The clubhouse is very nice.

Planned communities and resorts have a limited layout to work with. Regatta does a great job of offering interesting holes that present some unique opportunities to adjust your strategy. There are only a couple holes that are straight, flat-ish.

So all in all, I’m liking Regatta a lot. The only course comparable is Kelly Plantation - and Regatta beats it in most categories.

Pristine Course

My wife and I grabbed a 5pm tee time for $100 a person. It’s my second time playing here and it is by far my favorite course in the area. We were fortunate to be the last booked tee time of the day with only a solo in front of us, so we could play at the pace we wanted.

The course is in excellent condition. The construction on 17 & 18 is now complete which was a nice change from last year’s round.

The layout is challenging but fun. We played from the blues and found some of the approach shots on the par 4’s to be longer than normal (16th hole is tough). The fairways, bunkers, and greens are all in excellent condition. Extremely scenic course.

If you don’t mind the heat for the first few holes, book an afternoon tee time as it is only $100 a person as opposed to almost $300.

Not worth the money

I’ve played here 10-12 times. Each time i leave I wonder why i play this course. And I say that as a person that has played some good rounds here. For what we payed today on the 4th of July the greens were awful. I’m not sure if I was putting on greens or the beach with the amount of sand on them. I’ve never seen the course not sopping wet even when it don’t rain. The tee boxes were as shaggy as I’ve ever seen in my life back at the tips. The course has a nice layout and is a nice track, but at 265 dollars today it did not hold its value. Shame on them for not having the course is better shape if ur going to change this kind of money.

Hey Jason, thanks for playing today and for the feedback. We regret that your experience didn’t meet your expectations but conditions vary especially when heavy rain is a factor. We actively listen and learn from guest comments so we appreciate you taking the time to share yours. As for value, consider playing in the afternoons and non-holiday peaks when our green fees may be more in line with your expectations. Thanks again sir!
