Kelly Plantation Golf Club

Kelly Plantation Golf Club is a championship golf and event venue set along the waterfront in Destin, Florida. Originally designed by Fred Couples and Gene Bates, the course winds through miles of bayous, towering trees, and coastal scenery on what was once a historic turpentine plantation — earning a 4½-star rating from Golf Digest. The clubhouse accommodates weddings, rehearsal dinners, bridal luncheons, and corporate events for groups of 50 to 500 guests. The Dining Room seats up to 150 for intimate receptions and private dinners, while the outdoor lawn venue hosts ceremonies and larger receptions under a covered tent for up to 300 guests, with views of the golf course throughout. The clubhouse restaurant offers in-house catering with breakfast, lunch, Thursday dinners, and Sunday brunch, supported by a full bar with craft beer and wine. A dedicated Director of Special Events oversees event planning and coordination on site.
