Emerald Bay Golf Club
About Emerald Bay Golf Club
Emerald Bay Golf Club sits along the shores of Choctawhatchee Bay, between Destin and the Beaches of South Walton, as the centerpiece of a gated golf course community.
The residential side of the property includes a community swimming pool and two Rubico tennis courts, with the Gulf Coast beaches, shopping and dining nearby.
The clubhouse houses a full-service golf shop and The Grille, which offers a menu and full bar. Dining is available indoors or on a covered outdoor porch with a fireplace overlooking the 18th green, a common gathering place for golfers after a round.
