REGATTA BAY GOLF AND COUNTRY CLUB
🇺🇸 Destin, FL, USA
Designed by Robert Walker


Regatta Bay, carved into the Florida Panhandle near Destin, is a testament to the enduring appeal of risk-reward golf, demanding strategic thinking more than brute force. Built in the late 1990s, the course reflects a modern sensibility in course design: generous fairways that tighten considerably on approach. Water, ever-present in this coastal setting, dictates the lines of play, rewarding those who dare to challenge its presence. Favoring players who can shape the ball both ways, Regatta Bay presents a variety of doglegs and strategically placed bunkers that demand careful club selection and calculated shot-making.
Designed by Robert C. Walker, Regatta Bay distinguishes itself with an emphasis on playability for all skill levels. While not nationally renowned, the club is a regional favorite, known for its meticulous conditioning and welcoming atmosphere. The routing showcases the natural beauty of the surrounding Choctawhatchee Bay, incorporating native vegetation and panoramic vistas into the golfing experience.
Regatta Bay fosters a vibrant social scene centered around the game. The membership reflects a diverse mix of locals and seasonal residents who value camaraderie as much as competition. Perhaps Regatta Bay's best kept secret is its fried grouper sandwich, a post-round tradition and point of pride among the membership.
