Regatta Bay Homes for Sale

Living in Regatta Bay

The golf course sets the shape of Regatta Bay, and water sets the shape of the course. Robert C. Walker, a former design associate of Arnold Palmer's company, routed the eighteen holes through the saltwater marshes near the south shore of Choctawhatchee Bay, and the water in play is a mix of wetland, stream and man-made lake rather than open ground. One published review calls the eleventh the likely signature hole, a cape-style par four along an inland pond with the Mid-Bay bridge standing behind it. The layout runs par 72 at 6,840 yards, rated 74.2 with a slope of 147, at 465 Regatta Bay Boulevard in Destin. The club plays semi-private and answers yes to whether it is open to the public, so tee times here are not reserved to residents, and playing privileges and any club membership are an arrangement to make with the club rather than something a deed carries. The course has a stewardship record on that ground: a Florida Golf Course Superintendents Association compilation of courses certified under Audubon International's Cooperative Sanctuary Program for Golf Courses listed Regatta Bay as certified as of July 12, 2010. What the association owns, what it maintains, and which facilities a homeowner may actually use all come from the community's recorded documents, and no public record this page relies on lists them. Read the documents rather than a brochure before counting on any shared facility. The club's name carries Yacht Club, and that is where the sourced part of the answer ends. No public record this page relies on establishes a dock, a slip, or a storage arrangement attaching to a home here, so treat boat language in a listing as a question for that parcel's recorded documents and for the club, not as a feature. Leasing rules are set by the community's recorded documents; read them during diligence before planning any rental use. Entry arrangements, street rules, and the maintenance the association actually performs come from those same recorded documents rather than from this page.
