Hello and thank you for your 5-star rating! We're delighted you enjoyed your round. Please book another round with us soon, and thanks for choosing Regatta Bay Golf & Yacht Club!
Greens not “ pristine greens” as written in their site
Greens were overgrown which created difficulties putting. On the website the course should have indicated the greens conditions to allow players to decide if they wanted to play the course or not.
Until the greens are playable I wouldn’t recommend this course for the price.
It is a beautiful course with very friendly staff.
We appreciate the feedback so thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts and experience with us. Conditions of our greens are always a focus for us so we will share your comments with our team. We’re committed to continuous improvement so please come back and give us another try sometime soon! Thanks again for your business and your valuable feedback!
Great course in destin
Great course in Destin, Fl. Course wasn’t over challenging, but still difficult to play. Really enjoyed my round. Tee boxes and fairways were nice. Only complaint would be green speed. When we played the greens were extremely slow. Couldn’t get a feel for them which led to a higher score than what should have been. Overall, a great value with the hot deal.
Thanks for the detailed feedback! We really appreciate learning about your experience and use it to grow and improve every day. Come back soon!

Overpriced, but not a bad course
We paid just under $200 pp for a round with someone who was playing for free via his hotel location. He had a young child with him, who the starter said was not to play, but the child had clubs and hit on every hole. While they were very nice people, this made for basically a 5-some and the child was not well versed in golf etiquette and would talk and walk around when others were trying to hit. The 5-some set up made the round go much longer than planned. For the price we paid, I was expecting a different experience that the starter/ranger should have monitored. The course was in fair condition. We have played many other courses in Florida in better condition and much cheaper green fees. I doubt I would play here again for that price.
We regret to hear that we didn’t meet your expectations today but would like to learn more and make it right. Please give me a call 704 575 2060. Thank you for the feedback - John Z. Guest Services Manager, Regatta Bay Golf & Yacht Club

Great people and great course
The people at Regatta Bay are always helpful and polite. Like most days wihere you hit every shot perfect on the range, I played horribly. I hit a few more good shots on the range as I passed it on the way in. The timing was good and they let me play number 1 again when I drove in. Again, starter, clubhouse, and cart return were friendly and course in great condition.
Thank you for taking the time to leave comments! We’re so glad you had a great experience and we hope you come back again soon and save those perfect shots for the course next time instead of the range! We really appreciate you!
Beautiful Friday round
Had a wonderful time at Regatta Bay we were greeted immediately by staff and welcomed as if we were members. The people here go out of their way to make you feel welcomed. Course was challenging and very nice. They told us they had a rough summer and winter leading to the course not being in its best condition but still better than most courses and certainly suitable for this area! I would highly recommend playing here!

Nice course overall
Tees, fareways and greens were in nice conditions. They were doing some repairs to the turn in certain areas on fareways and on one green, there were literally squares missing towards the edge. Not horrible but hadn't experienced that before.
Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts and for the great rating! You are correct, it is customary to make continual course improvements after winter damage. In this case, new turf will be installed in time to effectively heal in the early spring season. Come back in a month and the sod sections will be fully healed, looking and playing great! Thanks again for your business!

Average course
Good course layout. Greens were slow, a few were in rough shape. Several tee boxes had weeds all over them.
This is a $70-$85 course and not worth $170
Thanks for the feedback, we’re always listening and learning to invest and improve player experience. Course conditions will vary throughout the year and we price accordingly as such. Thanks again and come back soon!
