Located on the Choctawhatchee Bay (just outside of Destin, Florida), Kelly Plantation should be your go-to if you're staying anywhere within an hour's drive. The greens play fast and firm, and the course is rather scenic for Florida golf standards.
First-class service at a public course is exactly what you're looking for when taking your game on the road. This place delivers.
Kelly Plantation was built on the site of a former turpentine plantation and is known locally as "The Crown Jewel of the Emerald Coast."
