Emerald Bay Golf Club
About
Located right along the water, Emerald Bay Golf Club was designed by Bob Cupp to be Destin's premier full-service, 18-hole championship course. Water is a prominent feature as the course overlooks the shores Choctawhatchee Bay and incorporates water features on 12 of the holes. Oftentimes golfers will face an intimidating shot across a lake or a pond. Emerald Bay Golf Club's sculpted fairways and tight greens are always in excellent condition. There are four sets of tees that make the golf course accessible to most players' abilities and no matter what skill level you are, the views are not to be missed. The views are especially breathtaking on the back nine, which borders the bay. There is also an expansive driving range at Emerald Bay that golfers can use before playing the golf course.

"Winter" conditions
Nice layout and overall an enjoyable course to play, but fairways and greens are not yet in peak condition. Consequently, I considered the green fees were a bit high based on the overall condition of the course this time of year. Just glad I paid the Golf Now on-line rate of $119 vs booking my tee time through the clubhouse at $149.....definitely not a $149 course in February.
Super friendly staff inside and out. We played four courses in Destin and my partners rated this #1 or #2 with regards to layout and conditions (late-February). Pace of play was great. They let us choose a free golf shirt off a rack from some promotion that we didn't even know about! The nice Puma shirt with their logo will be a favorite.

In February the course is still dormant. In the spring through October should be an awesome course
Emerald Bay look
Tough to judge playing surface since the Bermuda is dormant and just starting to grow. Course bathrooms need attention. Not a bad track and pace of play was great. 4:05 for a foursome. Will play it again. Worth the play
Golg
Enjoyed playing. Course was nice and in good condition. Staff was very friendly.
The only problem was a 5 some (maybe 2 5 some) that was in front of us (a 3 some). But we played the round in 4.5 hours, so not too bad.
gulf golf
Checked in 1 hour early could not use driving range only 20 minutes to t time nice chipping area and putting area greens very slow not mowed not worth 85.00 twilight rate let alone 125.00 reg
