Windswept Dunes Golf Course
About
Windswept Dunes Golf Club tumbles across a dramatic landscape covered with white sand dunes accented by lush green fairways. The golf course appeals to players of all skill levels thanks to player-friendly features that are balanced by strategically placed hazards. Although each hole shares the characteristic of being lined with dunes, they each maintain a unique character. The rolling fairways are often wide and generous off the tee and the sand dunes, which stretch from tee too green, are only punishing of the most errant of shots. The approach shots though are as demanding as the tee shots are forgiving. There are numerous bunkers fiercely guarding the large, smooth greens. While the occasional water hazard comes into play, the bunkers are the most challenging element of Windswept Dunes Golf Club.

Windswept away
Excellent course and the staff was very accommodating. Pace of play was solid for a busy Monday! Would highly recommend playing in the Fall as it was hot.
Make sure you grab cold towel before you leave the clubhouse.
Long, Wide, and Fun
Absolutely loved everything about this course. Our round took 4 1/2 hours for our twosome which was long but the beauty of the course made you forget about it. Conditions were exceptional and will definitely play again. Staff was top notch from pro shop to 19th hole.
Beach trip golf at its finest
This course has become an annual staple for us when we visit Destin. It’s a little less than an hour drive, but we find it’s worth it given the quality of the course and how enjoyable the layout is for all players. Our 4th time was an excellent experience and course was in fantastic shape. Greens rolled well and fairways were so nice to hit off that I’m certainly going to miss it when going back to my home courses. I’ve played numerous courses in the Destin area and this one stands above the rest in my opinion
Great Time
Beautiful course, well maintained. If I had to pick a downside, not enough shade. Definitely not the fault of the staff, there’s just no trees. Overall, great time! Definitely will be playing again.
Fantastic course
Really happy that i found this course, worth the 55m drive from the beach to play. Immaculate conditions, challenging layout, tough greens with approach positioning at a premium. Humbled my game today, but it is now on my beach vacation rotation. Keep up the great work guys!
Hidden gem
I live in Destin and this course is by far better than any course here. Well worth the drive.
Good vacation spot!
I went here and got a golf now hot deal so it wasn’t as expensive as it usually was. It was pouring at the beginning but the course drained really well and everything was kept really nice! Some lingering ball marks and spots on the greens but nothing that affected any of my putts. Friendly staff, would come back!
Beautiful
Nice course. Lots of work has been done there to keep it in Pristine condition. My only gripe it was a little pricey for Mid Summer.
Course was in fantastic condition. My only real criticism is that it was a very hot day without cart service and limited water on the course. The course wasn’t particularly cheap so I would have expected better amenities. Still, would look forward to playing it again.
Beautiful course.
Beautiful course. Apparently one of the nicest in the area as the amount of players that were there before we tee’d off. (8:30)
The place of play was a little slow, but there were Marshals that helped try to keep things moving. Overall great place just a little expensive for Summer time.
Come here every year!!
Its in great shape and the pace of play is great. Its a great value and it always in great shape!
Worth the Money
The course was beautiful, the staff was incredible and the day was wonderful. Bit hot, bit slow on the front 9 but picked up on the back. Overall I would highly recommend.
Amazing
The course was perfection. Starting at the range, I was blown away by how nice it was. There was plenty of room and it felt like no one had hit on it because there was so much grass. By far the best range that I have experienced. The course did not have a blade of grass out of place. The greens were pure. Fairways were perfect. The bunkers were manicured nicely. The layout is creative with plenty of different tee box options. The holes had challenges while rewarding good shots and punishing bad shots.
Exceeded expectations. Best public course I have played.
Exceptionall value and excellent course. Exceeded expectations. Will definitely play here again.
Amazing condition and layout
Played today for the first time, will be going back! The layout was solid and the condition was awesome! The fairways are wide, the greens are big but the course is long. It’s by far the best course and design in the area.
