Kelly Plantation Golf Course in Destin, Florida offers a premier bayside experience on the Choctawhatchee Bay. Designed by Fred Couples and Gene Bates, and refreshed in 2024 by Bergin Golf Design, the course blends challenge with playable, scenic beauty. The renovation upgraded every tee with laser-leveling and Platinum Paspalum, and Capillary Flow bunker liners plus Tour Angle sand enhance year-round playability and reliable bunkers. The greens are TifEagle, delivering fast, true rolls and precise contouring. From the forward tees it's welcoming for beginners; from the back tees, at 7,099 yards, Par 72, slope 146, it tests skilled players. Notable features include a 7.5-acre water feature surrounding holes 9 and 18, 11 lakes, and a dramatic Bay views on Hole 4 with wildlife framing the shot. The course remains renowned for its natural beauty—Magnolias and Palmettos lining the fairways. A must-play in the Destin area for elite conditions and memorable layouts.
