Very nice
Beautiful course. Greens were in great shape. Fairways were good. A must play while in Destin.
We appreciate the 5 star rating and glad you had a great experience with us. Come back soon!
Worth it!
Beautiful course and not crowded. We were able to play quickly without waiting on people ahead of us. There are some tough hazards off the tee box so make sure you can drive the ball over water and other hazards. Greens are not overly difficult. Very well-kept course.
Thanks so much for the great rating and review. We’re delighted that you had a great experience and hope to have you back again soon for another round! Thanks again for taking the time to share your opinions, it means a lot to all of us here at Regatta Bay!
Thanks for taking the time to give us a rating but we’d love to know more to ensure a 5 star experience next time around. Your opinion matters so please give me a call anytime so we can listen and learn. Thanks again! John Z - Guest Experience Manager - 704 575 2060
Great round
Great track and course is always fun. Greens punched a couple of weeks before so greens did not roll well, course is always solid but green fee was too high for the condition this time.
Thanks for the rating and review! Your feedback helps us immensely. Our pricing is adjusted for the seasonal aeration but we regret you didn’t get the value you desired this time around. We hope to have you back again soon for another round this year that delivers a 5 star experience! Thanks again!
Nice Course
Nice layout with some good holes. Condition of the tees was poor. Greens were slow and inconsistent. Fairways were very good.
Pace of play was slow - took over 4.5 hours.
Really good practice facilities.
Friendly staff.
We really appreciate the rating and review, it helps us improve as we’re always striving to deliver 5 star guest experiences. Course conditions and pace can vary seasonally so we hope to have you back again for another round soon!
Course was in good shape, and the staff was very friendly. We enjoyed our round at Regatta!
Thanks for the great review and comments! We’re glad you had a good experience and hope to have you back again soon!
We played two days this week, extremely slow but a nice course. Would like to see the tee times spaced out a little more
We regret that pace was an issue for you but really appreciate you taking the time to let us know. Our average pace this time of year is 4:20 but our Marshalls do their best to encourage quicker play whenever possible. Thanks again for the comments, we hooe to have you back again soon!
Thanks for the 5 star rating Tyler! Hope to have you back again soon!
Great course, pace of play unacceptable
Waited on every hole from 3 on. Some times as much at 10 minutes. Well over 5 hours.
We regret the issue you had with pace but appreciate hearing about it so we can learn and improve. Hope to have you back. Thank you!
Mike
Play here once a year on vacation, great course, starter was great and refreshments came by about every 3 holes
Thank you for the great rating and review! We depend on feedback like yours to learn and improve. See you next year!
Thanks so much for the 5 star rating! We’re glad you had a great experience and hope to have you back again soon!
Beautiful course with great layout
To start out this course was absolutely beautiful from the moment I pulled up. The staff picked me up took me to the door strapped in the clubs. Got us rolling with a very quick start. I did read that they were doing work, but was unaware of the green Work, the course was in beautiful shape except for the greens. The greens had a large amount of sand on them which I do understand maintenance but this did affect the ability of reading green and playing greens. Overall, this course is beautiful. We will definitely be back.
Thank you for the 5 star rating and feedback! We are always listening and learning to improve guest experiences so your comments help us greatly! Our greens are in the final stages of recovery from seasonal core aeration so you can expect them to be much improved next time you come out to play. Thanks again for your business and for sharing your experience with us!
Wow! We strive to deliver 5 star experiences every day. Glad to know we got it right for you and hope to do it again next time around! Thanks so much!
So glad you had a 5 star experience with us! Hope to see you again soon! Thank you!
Thank you for the 5 star rating! Come back again soon!
Thank you for the 4 star rating but please let us know how we can improve it to a 5 star! We always listening and learning to improve. Feel free to give me a call anytime to share your experience! John Z - Guest Experience Manager - 704 575 2060
Not up to the usual standard
I’ve been playing this course for several years now and in the past it has been in great shape. This year the course has more damage to its fairways and tee boxes than I’ve ever seen in the 6 years I’ve been playing there. I hope they get it under control and back to the pristine condition it deserves. I’m not saying it terrible just saying it’s not up to par.
We appreciate the review Bill and you can trust that we’re always listening to feedback to drive continuous improvement to the property and the overall guest experience. Conditions will vary seasonally and we are just coming out of aeration treatments so they are quickly improving. We’re committed to delivering 5 star experiences so come back to play again soon to see how we’re doing!. Thanks again for the feedback and your loyalty to Regatta Bay!
Great Course
Course was in immaculate shape!! Always enjoy playing a round here when I am in town.
Thank you for the great rating and review! We look forward to having you back again soon!
Hey James, we really appreciate the great rating and review! We work hard to deliver 5 star experiences every day so its gratifying to hear about yours. Thanks and come back soon!
