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.

Golfer Reviews
Way over booked.
So crowded we had to wait 25 minutes after our tee time. Then waited every hole for 9 holes. Took 3 hours and 20 minutes to make the turn.
Good course kinda pricey
Location obviously has pricey golf courses. $140 this time. Course is a great layout. Wide fairways but several greens well guarded. Good challenge but playable . They aerified so greens were bumpy. Overall course was in good shape but not sure 140 shape. I will say it’s prolly been raining a lot and I hear this course is usually the nicest in the area. I think playing in not rainy months it’s prolly mint.
If I had known…..
Chose to play here because a lot of the local courses had aerification alerts. Well, Windswept just didn’t bother letting anyone know. Bumpy sanded greens. I’m played here several times before and it was pristine. Definitely wasn’t this round.
Windswept
First time playing, great layout, great condition and friendly staff. Highly recommend this course.
BEAUTIFUL course!
This course is gorgeous. I love the layout, the fairways, and the gigantic undulating greens! I was not prepared to lose so many balls, but the rough is diabolical where the tall grass resides. No beverage cart service, but I stocked up at the top of my round and stopped into the clubhouse for a burger mid round (you can pre order from your cart). The staff was super friendly, which added to the experience. Oh…the range was nice, along with the chipping and putting practice areas. Definitely would like to play again now that I know the layout!
Wonderful Day at Windswept Dunes
Windswept Dunes is an extremely forgiving course from the tee box, which made it highly enjoyable for me. The greens had just been verti cut which was not optimal; you could still tell the greens would be ultra fun and challenging when optimal conditions. Staff was great and provided background for play. Finished front 9 with couple of wonderful gentlemen that were original members even though no
Membership at this time.
Fun and forgiving design.
My simplicity questions only the value. We stay in Destin and my question is for that price, is it worth the drive to play when there are great courses in same price point or cheaper much closer and my answer would be not worth it and driving less than 15 minutes to play great courses would trump it however if it was priced $89-$115, then o would probably make windswept part of the rotation when visiting the Gulf Coast.
All in all, I would play it again and if with friends or foursome group or golf trip would definitely be inclusive.
If you have never played and in the area I would definitely recommend Windswept Dunes!! Enjoy it!!
Nice Course Close to Destin, FL
Always love to play here when I get the chance. The greens were in good shape with exception of a couple spots under repair. Fairways were nice and tight. Its a long beautiful course.
Great course for the money unique layout.
Overall loved the course range was great. Greens were in good shape. The pace was a little slow even being a 7:50am tee time. We still finished the round in 4.5 hours which I should have expected with 8 minute tee times.
Disappointed
First, I have played this course at least a half-dozen times, and I really like Windswept Dunes. This time, however, the front 9 was receiving routine maintenance and was unplayable. This was not indicated on Golf Now (not sure this is an option), nor were we informed of this when we checked in. If so, I would have opted not to play the course.
I make it a point to play Windswept Dunes, and bring friends/family when we are here. We travel from Indiana and have owned vacation rentals for 25 years in Miramar Beach. This is widely talked about as one of the best courses in the area.
I am very unhappy that my son, who has never played the course, and I had to play the back 9 twice as our 18 holes. The price was greatly discounted, but was still over $100 per person (including taxes and fees). The manager (I presume) brought a Gatorade and 3 beers “for our trouble” when he lead us to hole 10 to restart our round. Based on this, it will be very difficult for me to return and introduce others to this course.
Outstanding Experience
Challenging course in outstanding condition! We caught some thunderstorms at the turn but you’d never know it as the course drains extremely well!
Great course
Nice layout and greens were in great condition. Fairways are well maintained and in very good condition . Some tee boxes a little bare . Every one working there was very polite and very friendly. If you’re on vacation it’s a must play !!!
Wonderful course
I loved playing at windswept, amazing course in excellent condition. I highly recommend this course to anyone

Course was perfect . Greens were running true and ran great . Everyone was great and the ice towels at the end were fantastic. Will be back again. Thank you for a wonderful day ! Hats off to the owners and employees! Thank you !!!!
