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.

Hidden Gem

This was our first time playing Windswept Dunes and the course was immaculate! Lots of strategic shots with bunkers in the most opportune locations, huge, beautiful greens and every tee box felt like you were on a PGA manicured one. Could have spent 2 hours on the practice area with hitting space for 20-30, a putting green with plenty of undulations and could easily handle 20-30 players, plus a chipping area where you could chip from 30-40 yds out. Staff was super friendly and warned us which holes might have alligators. It will be our first place to play when we return to the area.

Challenge but fun

This is probably one of the more challenging courses I’ve played. Numerous blind tee shots throughout the day. You have to use the cart GPS, know your numbers and be fairly accurate off the tee. Thick ruff that is a challenge to get out of if you miss the fairway. Greens rolled true and were in great shape. Definitely plan to play this course again when in the 30A area.

Fabulous

We saw the back tees # (nearly 7800 yards) and could not resist the challenge. It was super challenging, we hit a ton of woods and long irons and had an absolute blast. Can’t recommend this enough. Every hole was fun to play.

Fun round

I have been thinking about playing this course for a few years but thought it was too far. The trip from Seaside area was actually not bad. No traffic and only took 22 minutes. Fairways and greens were in really good shape. Lots of sand and high rough but the fairways were wide and greens are huge. It has been a while since I had to pay for range balls. But range and practice green were in good shape. I played early and finished in three and one half hours. Great way to start the day and get back to family and beach. Give it a try nest time you are thinking of the Raven or Kelly Plantation.

First time, Best time

I went to this course with three buddies from home. We were welcomed by the friendly staff immediately upon entering the clubhouse. Our checking process was seamless and we were out on the range in no time. Only downside is range balls were not included in the green fees. Practice facility and putting green were in good shape and not too crowded. We had a wonderful round of golf in around four hours on a Friday. The course layout is great and offers an excellent challenge for any skill level golfer. I will definitely be back and would recommend this facility to anyone wanting a friendly, affordable, challenging course near 30A. It was 25 minutes from our location in Seagrove Beach. Grateful to the staff for an excellent experience.

New Favorite Near The Beach

My family and I are frequent beach goers in Destin, and I have played many courses in and around the beach. Windswept Dunes is our new favorite course to play here. Played at 6:32 AM. Did not get a feel for pace of play because we were the first off in the morning. Finished in 3 and a half hours. Very foggy at the beginning (couldn’t see 20 yards in front of us), but once the fog lifted, the course looked and played great. Very fair layout with many wide fairways and big greens. Many interesting holes with some fairways split by multiple bunkers. Staff was very friendly with the little we interacted with them. Premium course for the price (please do not raise the prices!). WE WILL BE BACK!

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.
