Beautiful course!
This is a very clean and prestigious golf course. The greens are always pretty and play fast. The tee boxes are laid out perfectly for the sun! Staff is very helpful and friendly!
Thank you for the 5-star rating! Hope to have you back again soon!
Not worth the money
For the price I expected a nicer course lots of small things they could do to make it better

Beautiful and professionally run course!
The course was beautiful and challenging (it definitely kicked my butt). But I enjoyed it! The staff and organization of the whole facility was run like a grade A country club. We will be back!
We are so glad you enjoyed your recent experience and thank you for the feedback. We all work hard to deliver memorable experiences every day so it’s great to hear we got it right with you this time around! See you next time and thanks again!

Best Course in Destin
Played multiple courses in the Destin area and this is the best course, no question.
Wow! High praise, thank you so much!We’re glad you had a great experience with us and we appreciate your business. Come back soon!
Start to finish
From the bag drop, through the starter from Illinois, till the clubs made it back into the car the staff made us feel like friends. My wife and I got to play along with two athletes playing from the gold tees while we played more forward so we got to see multiple views of each hole. Greens a bit slow and irregular, but overall course in fine shape. Many other options along the emerald coast, this our third trip to Regatta Bay over several decades and glad we did. Can’t wait to play next time we in Destin.
We appreciate the great rating and review! We’re always listening and learning from comments like these because they help us improve and also validate our team’s efforts to provide 5-star experiences every day. We hope to see you here again soon!

Beautiful course
course is hard, but a very good layout. Lots of water. Lots of sand traps. But I like a challenge. Will play again if I have the chance. And the staff could not have been any nicer. everything was great. Thanks for the memory s. James

Not Still a Top Course
Course had many moments of being pretty. However, pace was almost 5 hours, Tee boxes were torn up with divots, Greens were beyond ready to be cut. Overall, not the course I was expecting with marketing about it being a Top 200 course in the U.S. and a top course in Florida. I would not rank it in either one. I would not re-play.
Thanks for sharing your recent experience. We value it because we’re always listening and improving however we can. Pace and course conditions vary seasonally but we strive to deliver 5 star experiences every day and hope to have you visit again sometime for another round. Thanks again!
Not worth the price
This place is way over priced. The pictures make it look nicer than it is. The greens might be the slowest I've ever played.
We regret your recent experience didn’t meet your expectations this time around but we appreciate the feedback and hope to have you back sometime soon. Thank you!
We appreciate the 5 star rating and hope to have you back again soon for another great experience at Regatta Bay! Thank you!
