Emerald Bay Golf Club is one of the finest and most popular layouts in Destin, Florida, a still somewhat under-the-radar golf destination that boasts many top-flight courses and gorgeous beaches. When this full-service, championship-caliber Bob Cupp design opened in the early 1990s it earned honors from Golf Digest as one of the best new courses in the country. Emerald Bay Golf Club anchors a gated community. While houses line the fairways throughout the routing, a portion of the back nine plays right along the Choctawhatchee Bay. Many a player has said the back nine at Emerald Bay Golf Club provides as scenic a stretch of golf as you ll find in Northwest Florida s Emerald Coast region. Accuracy and smart course management are musts here. There s plenty of water to catch your attention and consume your golf ball on Emerald Bay Golf Club. The 12th and 16th hole,a pair of par 3s, are highlights of the back nine. The long 12th boasts a large green but to get to it you must thread your drive through a chute of trees and carry a marsh. A contrasting challenge greets players on 16. It s a much shorter one-shotter with a crowned green. As you swing you must fight the urge to glance at the bay that is off to the right. Throughout the round, water factors into play on 12 holes at Emerald Bay Golf Club.
