About Emerald Bay Golf Club

Emerald Bay is Bob Cupp's course on the north side of Destin, on Choctawhatchee Bay between Destin and the Beaches of South Walton. It winds through the gated Emerald Bay neighborhood, and water is the main feature: the club talks up its water features and bay views, and a local listing counts water in play on nine holes. Expect tree-lined fairways and small, undulating greens.

It's a semi-private club. Anyone can book a tee time, and there are monthly and annual memberships that also cover Seascape, with preferred tee times and range access for members. After the round, The Grille has a full bar and a covered porch with a fireplace that looks over the 18th green. The dress code is posted: no denim, and wear a collared shirt.

It's one of 2 courses in Destin on Yoink, and the closest alternative is Seascape Golf Course, about 2 miles away — handy when your first choice is booked solid.
