This lovely gated Destin community is a private sanctuary where residents come to enjoy life in a relaxed setting on a full-time or part-time basis. Emerald Bay is truly a golf destination with homes lining the sweeping fairways or overlooking small lakes that dot the course. The community of Emerald Bay overlooks Destin’s Choctawhatchee Bay. Premium waterfront building lots along Emerald Bay Drive satisfy both the avid golfer and boater.

Hop into your golf cart and in minutes, you’ve arrived at the first tee at the Emerald Bay Golf Club. Breathtaking views of the bay are ever present on this 18-hole championship course. Designed by Bob Cupp, this is a challenging course with several water features. The completely renovated clubhouse boasts The Grille restaurant with covered deck overlooking the 18th hole and lake.

In addition to world-class golfing opportunities, Emerald Bay offers a wonderful residential community with single family homes bordering the golf course, scenic lakes, natural areas and the beautiful Choctawhatchee Bay. Centrally located between Destin and the Beaches of South Walton, Emerald Bay is convenient to shopping, restaurants, entertainment and the spectacular white sand beaches of the Gulf Coast. In addition to existing homes and home sites there are exciting new residential neighborhoods within Emerald Bay planned for the near future.

Residents of Emerald Bay as well as participants in the membership program have access to the community swimming pool and clay tennis courts which are located across the parking lot west of the clubhouse.
