Windswept Dunes Golf Course

We played here on 5/18 and 5/20 and finished our round at about 1:30 pm on Thursday 5/20/21. At 2:00pm, I realized I had left my Bushnell Tour V5 shift range finder on the passenger side of the cart and called the clubhouse. They still haven’t had it come up yet. I used the rangefinder on the last hole and kept it on the passenger side rail with the magnetic bite attachment.

We really enjoyed the course (so much that we played twice last week) and had a good experience until this.

I’ve only had the rangefinder for a few months, Not sure who stole it, but will give a $50 reward if returned.

It is a little off the beaten path if you are staying in Destin but it is a great course. Fairways and greens are huge. It definitely is a bombers course with 6 tee boxes but our group with an array of handicaps found it challenging.

Staff was very helpful from the clubhouse to the starter.

We stay at Sandestin every year but feel it is worth the drive of 35 minutes. Thank you for your hospitality and friendliness. We will be back!!!

Good course. I think they have gotten a little pricey.

Played this course a couple years ago. A fun course to play. Greens were nice and quick. Enjoy the duney wasteland Florida golf vs the resort style Florida golf so I liked this one. Clubhouse was mediocre but course was great and I would come back! Had a slow foursome in front of us but otherwise a fun day!

Golf course was in excellent condition. A fun track to play as you don’t really have to worry about poor drives too much as the fairways are so wide. Although the fairways are wide, check a GPS map, cause there are many fairway bunkers you can find very easily if you don’t look and see what’s out on front of your first. There are lots of hidden bunkers and other hazards.

Although, the actual golf was great, there were several things that turned me off. The lack of GolfNow Hotdeals or even just a presence on GolfNow was strange. You’re pretty much stuck paying rack rate and no one likes that. That is around $85 for non-locals which is almost as high as Regatta Bay and Kelly Plantation that are just as beautiful and a much higher end experience.

Also, small quirks like no tees in the carts, old carts, and no free range balls ($7 for the tiniest bucket ever) all contributed to an off-putting experience. After adding the cost of balls, you’re pretty neat the cost of the bigger courses in Destin.

Also, I’m not a huge fan of the lightning fast ginormous greens. Kind of gimmicky in my opinion and sometimes even impossible to make a one-putt depending on Lin location. I’d recommended Rocky Bayou Country Club in Niceville for a more economical experience with great conditions.

It was fun for the day, but I probably won’t go back. Too many other options, especially when you can catch a HotDeal.

They were a little packed for Black Friday. Other than waiting for a couple of groups to tee off on each hole and no beverage cart, the course is perfect! Most of the time you don't realize you're playing amongst houses. The holes are spread apart, so I wouldn't walk it unless you're really trying to make a point. They design and layout made a delightful challange. I grew up near Treetops, so it was unique hearing the history. Great job!

This is a course you must play. Tee's for all handicaps. Beautifully maintained and time to play each shot. I really enjoyed the round. I will absolutely play here again and again.

A little off the beach but glad I went. I haven’t played a lot of courses in the panhandle but this was my favorite so far. Nice layout among man made dunes which separate the holes from each other and the housing. Staff very friendly, excellent practice areas (driving range, chipping area with bunker and MASSIVE putting green that gets you ready for what you’ll see on the course. Large greens that were in the best condition I’ve seen in the area, generous fairways with multiple tees to suit any skill level. Pace of play was a bit slow for my taste but enjoyable. Will return next time I’m in the area.

Beautiful course that’s tucked away from beach, I’ve been coming over to 30A for a few years and didn’t even know it existed. The layout and conditions are fantastic for the price but you better be long off the tee, I played emerald’s (6500 yards) and it seemed to play 500-600 yards longer than scorecard indicated, definitely check it out, a lot easier on the wallet than Sharks Tooth or Camp Creek

Course surface was perfect everywhere. Unique layout on some holes with a lot of bunkers around greens. The course plays extremely long from the back 3 tee boxes so would recommend playing closer if you’re an average player. Driving range was huge with very good surface. Staff was very friendly. I would not recommend walking the course, there is a lot of distance getting from hole to hole. The course was well worth the money and i’m amazing condition. Also very challenging.

Windswept Dunes hosted the annual Brant Family Invitational this year and it did not disappoint. This course is long but has numerous tee options for every skill level. If you are a single digit handicap play at least the Emerald or Ocean tees to get a taste of what this course is truly about. Taking the correct line of the tee is more important than length and precision approach shots into massive greens are required to avoid the possibility of 3 putting. The staff is great and the course is gorgeous. A must play if you are anywhere within a two hour drive.

Decided to play Windswept Dunes after having it recommended by so many paired-up playing partners over the years on vacation in the Panama City/Destin area.

It is about 30 minutes up Highway 331, and like several have posted here before me, I think it is worth the drive.

This well-groomed course is very wide off the tee. Approach shots are played to massive greens, that were very soft and had a good bit of grain to them. Several complexes were very challenging, including the seventh, ninth, 12th and 18th.

Large sandy waste areas punctuate most holes.

Though there were some very good holes - particularly the par-4 ninth, par-4 11th, and par-3 12th - most were not challenging enough to hold the better player’s interest. If familiar with the area, it’s not of the caliber of Camp Creek or Sandestin’s The Raven, but is on par with Hombre or Bay Point.

Still, this is a fun play, and an excellent upper shelf option for mid-to-high handicappers.

Quick ride from Grayton Beach area. Total gem of a course. Pretty basic clubhouse, but staff was very accommodating. The golf course was in superb shape, greens rolled true, but not super fast. Theres plenty of undulation on these large greens and the surrounding run off areas will challenge every aspect of your short game. Tee shots seem visually intimidating, but are actually very forgiving once you see the width of the fairways. Loved the layout and the combination of challenge/ forgiveness. Overall, very pleased and I will be back!

The most beautiful Course I have ever played on. You felt like you were the only one on the course on every hole. Scenic and Panoramic views on every hole. A hidden gem in the Destin, Florida area. Well worth the half hour drive out of Destin to play this course. The name of the course describes it perfectly!

Panama City Beach is my 2nd Home. So I play several courses in the PCB and Destin areas throughout the year. With no hesitation, I can say this is my favorite course. The course conditions are always great, the course is very challenging, and the staff is great. A must play for everyone from my perspective. I am a single digit handicapper and I absolutely love this place. A little remote but worth the drive. Give it a try - you will be back.

I played Windswept Dunes early Sunday morning. Course was in great a condition. Very nice layout and not overly crowded. It is a little ways from the beach but worth the drive. i will definitely play there again. This is a GEM. I suggest you play it before the secret gets out.

I have played most of the courses around PCB and Destin and without a doubt this course is my favorite. I own a condo in PCB and there are courses that are closer but this course is worth the little longer drive. The course condition just continues to improve year after year. The staff is working hard to make it a preferred course to play and it shows. This has become my home course in PCB and really the only one I play after trying the rest. Do yourself a favor and give it a try. I think you will love it.

My wife and I played this hidden gem today. What a great experience!! Staff very friendly and helpful. Course in excellent shape, every bit as good as the course we played in Sandestin earlier in the week at 3 times the price. Greens were in great shape if a bit slow. Huge and well contoured. Fairways wide but bunkers strategically placed for the errant shot.We only saw one foursome and one single the whole afternoon. Finished our round in 3 1/2 hours. Going back tomorrow!

Widest fairways you will ever play in your life. Course was in decent shape except the greens were way slower than the other 6 courses we played in Florida. If you love to bomb it, this is your course. If you like fast greens, go somewhere else. I would only suggest this course if you are in need of a warmup or have time to kill before flying out of panama city.
