Emerald Bay Golf Club

Emerald Bay Golf Club in Destin, Florida, is a premier 18-hole, par-72 layout that threads coastal beauty with championship design. A Bob Cupp creation opening in 1991, the course sits within a gated community and anchors one of Destin’s most scenic corners near the Choctawhatchee Bay. The back nine delivers some of the Emerald Coast’s most memorable views, with water guarding 12 of the holes and a few risk-reward options that reward smart club selection and course management. Key holes include a pair of dramatic par-3s on 12 and 16; the long 12th requires a precise carry through a tree chute to a large, crowned green, while 16 tests accuracy with a shorter, breezy one-shotter. Expect bay winds, strategic hazards, and a fair test of nerves from 7,050 yards at slope 143, rating 73.9. After your round, enjoy the renovated clubhouse, well-stocked shop, and a restaurant with full bar and covered outdoor seating.
