About Emerald Bay Golf Club

Emerald Bay Golf Club occupies a stunning setting in Destin along Florida's Emerald Coast, where the sugar-white sand beaches and turquoise Gulf waters create one of the most scenic backdrops in American golf. Designed by Bob Cupp and opened in 1992, the course weaves through a coastal lowland landscape with natural wetlands, Choctawhatchee Bay views, and longleaf pine corridors that give it a distinctly Panhandle character. The layout is challenging without being punishing, featuring generous fairways that open up from the tee before narrowing to water-protected greens. Emerald Bay is a favorite among beach vacationers staying in Destin's resort community, offering an experience that matches the area's high-end coastal appeal. The Panhandle's mild winter climate draws golfers year-round, though summer humidity and afternoon thunderstorms are facts of life.

History

Emerald Bay Golf Club was designed by Bob Cupp and opened in 1992, developed to serve Destin's growing status as a premier Gulf Coast resort destination. Cupp, known for designing courses that work harmoniously with natural terrain, took full advantage of the Panhandle landscape to create a layout that complements Destin's coastal luxury positioning.
