Windswept Dunes Golf Course

Having not been on premise in years, i was quickly reminded of the great layout and routing. This is a must play for golfers starved for a solid golf experience in/around Destin and Miramar Beach. Friendly to players at all levels.

I hadn’t played there in 20 years and the layout is reminiscent of Bandon Dunes and Sand Valley. The amenities are wonderfully sparse, catering to a golf purest - regardless of talent level.

Played here in 50 mph gusts and loved the course and the challenges it gave us. My screwball son ,who played college golf, played it from the full 7700 yards in that wind and said it was harder than Whistling Straits! Greens were soft enough to hold a shot and they rolled well. This is not a course that is going to offer you any amentities or be kind to your wallet but I will for sure return to play it in nicer weather conditions. Both employees we spoke with were very kind and informative.

Enjoyed the course— the staff was super friendly and enjoyable to be around. The layout is beautiful, wide fairways and great course for people looking to have a good time. The greens on the other hand are faster than concrete and are super dormant. Looks as they are being prepped to punch or are just clearing up from being punched. With that being said, I’d play it again.

Played this course first before others in the area. Nice course with a straightforward layout. Greens well maintained. Fairways and tee boxes not so much. Great staff.

Even with GolfNow deal, this course is way overpriced when there are so many others to choose from. However, very enjoyable round.

Windswept offers a nice range of tee decks for all skill levels. I do wish they had some combos available on the score cards as there is a big difference between sedge and white (5000-6000). Nice wide fairways with a fair number of bunkers. It’s great to play there more than once so you know where to mis your shots. Pretty good condition for dormant season. Lots of roll on your balls.

Played this course with my wife. She loved it. Not a hard course if you stay out of the sand traps. If I am in the area I would for sure play it again.

For the money they charge for this course it should be in much better shape.

It’s a fun little layout but pace was dismal, no beverage cart, the coolers of water were empty.

Spend half the year on Florida and the management could care less about locals unless you have an I’d.

Poor way to handle people that could support you on a weekly basis.

Won’t be back

We played here in 2024 and it was dusty and a bit run down. This year we were pleasantly surprised by the new asphalt cart paths and great new hole signs with ball washers. Really has improved in 1 year. Great practice area as well

Although we played in winter conditions…50d, grass is dormant, the course was still very playable, green rolled thrue…9-9.5 I guess on the meter….amazing layout, though course with 5 sets of tees to chose from

The course is over priced. I don’t mind paying $125+

But not for a country course with poor amenities and unfriendly staff.

The starter was great. But check in was not.

The course is wide and long with several tee slots.

The sand bunkers are brutal. They have tall heavy grass bordering them which makes it difficult to hit out of, let alone find your ball.

First time I have seen those type of bunkers.

Greens were in good shape.

This course should be priced in the $75.00 range.

I won’t be back or recommend it to my fellow golfers.

Really liked this course. Long (7800 yds) for those that want it, but five more tees for the medium to short hitters. Routed really well so you don't notice other players, or even the homes scattered around in most spots. Lots of hazards with tall grasses and washout areas make it pleasing to the eye. But don't be intimidated as the landing areas are wide. If you hit it fairly straight and can place it, you can score well. Finally, practice up on your lag putting cause the green complexes are huge.

This course is very challenging and a lot of fun! Lots of tee boxes to choose from for all skill ranges. You don’t see many courses that are 7800 yards from the tips! A little pricey but it’s an overall good experience.

Great course, always in excellent condition. Nice wide fairways, good greens. Only negatives, no golf cart girl, and the food isn’t very good.
