Kelly Plantation Golf Club, carved into the Choctawhatchee Bay coastline, reflects a commitment to providing a complete lifestyle experience along the Emerald Coast. It distinguishes itself as a well-maintained but not widely heralded club. The layout is a modern design from Fred Couples and Gene Bates. The course winds through gently rolling terrain dotted with mature pines and strategically placed water features, favoring players who can shape the ball. Expect forgiving fairways coupled with demanding approaches to undulating greens. It is the quintessential resort course, designed to be enjoyable for all skill levels, with a premium placed on the short game. While Kelly Plantation has not hosted major championships, it remains a popular venue for regional amateur events and member tournaments. Post-round, members and guests often gather at the club's dining facilities, celebrated locally for their seafood, offering a chance to unwind and recount the day's highlights against a backdrop of coastal sunsets.
