Emerald Bay Golf Club

Just got back from only being able to play 5 holes until it started pouring rain. They had a shotgun tourney starting once the rain was passing. So it was either skip half the course or get a refund from golfnow. It was great until it rained.

Played today and really nice conditions. Greens ran true an smooth but my flat stick wasn't co-operating. Beautiful course not the hardest but many tucked pin locations made it challenging. Cups we're cut about 3 paces off a mound headed for water on a few holes so it made you aim for the middle of the green.

Emerald Bay Golf Club offers a solid golfing experience with a few highlights that stand out. The layout of the course is well-designed and provides a good mix of challenges for all skill levels. The condition of the course was average—playable but could use some improvements in certain areas. One of the standout features is the driving range and practice area, which is a great addition for warming up or fine-tuning your game. While the views are not as scenic as some other courses in the Destin area, a couple of the finishing holes do offer a picturesque setting that adds a nice touch to the round. Overall, it’s a good solid course. Not sure if it’s worth over $100 green fee But all other courses were even higher.
