How to play

SEMI-PRIVATE · OPEN TO PUBLIC

Emerald Bay is publicly bookable. Joint management with Seascape — memberships cover both courses. Bob Cupp design, renovated in 2014 by Cupp himself:

The local's take

Emerald Bay is the underrated play in Destin. Bob Cupp's 2014 renovation kept the bones and updated the conditioning. Variety is the design intent — back-to-back par 4s play completely differently. The 18th finishes at a clubhouse with a covered fireplace patio overlooking the green. Joint management with Seascape gives you two course options for one membership.
