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.

Great shape
Played this course two consecutive days because of the great conditions and best price for a course of this quality for miles around.
Florida panhandle hidden gem
Have now played Windswept Dunes four times in the last three years. Each time I enjoy it more. Course conditions excellent, staff friendly, prices best in the area. Well worth the tweety minute commute from 30A lodgings. This course is better than Kelly Plantation, Regatta Bay, the sandestin courses, all put together! Good range, no crowds, excellent greens, great pace of play--all that a vacationing golfer could want!
Great Course in Destin Area
Been going to Destin for vacation last 5 years and played several nice courses. This one definitely ranks up there, eventhough its a little bit of a drive and in the middle of nowhere. Barely had cell phone reception
The course itself was awesome. Plenty of tee boxes for all levels. Fairways are beautiful and some of them are pretty wide so easy to hit. But beware of the greens....they roll very nice but these are the biggest and undulated greens I have ever seen. You can easily 3-putt on every single hole if you don't pay attention to pin placement.
One of the best.
Worth the drive. Excellent conditions. Didn't found a bad spot any where.
A Must Play and Worth the Drive from anywhere
I took a risk, because I don't normally pay more than $40 for a round of golf, but with the twilight rate starting at noon of $52 I went ahead. Best money ever spent on a round of golf. I loved this golf course, and give it my highest rating. There is no clubhouse, as they are operating out of a converted mobile home, but from a pure golf experience this is as good as it gets. If this course were close to anything on planet earth they'd be able to charge three times as much. If you are even within an hours drive of this course you must do yourself the favor of making the drive. You won't regret it. Also, you need a cart for this course as there is great distances between every hole. Definitely can't walk this one.
Nice course!
A bit out in the middle of nowhere, but a nice track. Wide fairways. Greens were pretty fast the day I played. It was also fairly empty, so no real idea about the usual pace of play, but i did it in under 3 hours.
One of the best non-private options on the Emerald Coast
Course was in great shape and there was almost no one on it! Expect a lot of waste areas, some blind landing areas and greens with serious undulation. Greens were aerated fairly recently but they were still quick (without being punishing).
Very Nice
I really enjoyed the play at this course. It was one of the most beautiful courses that i have ever played. Very long, but not crowded at all. I will return to this course as soon as i get back to FL.
Close to Destin - best value around
Played this course mid-week while on vacation. Great value for the money. The greens were in great shape. The fairways were punched very recently, but it had no impact on play. Very wide and forgiving fairways. Lots of undulation in the greens, but they rolled true. Struggled a bit with distances, but there was enough room to work if you miss a green. Staff is friendly, clubhouse is just a trailer with minimal selection. Would definitely ply again.
Great course, great time, great value
This is an awesome course! The staff was super friendly and had no problem accommodating a single player like me. Course condition was excellent in all respects. The clubhouse is just a business office with a snack bar, nothing special. Keep it in the fairways or close to them, as you leave the rough it becomes the Florida jungle grass. A very enjoyable round, and I plan to play again when next time in the area.
Nice track off the beaten path
Great course...first time playing it in the 4 years I've been traveling to the Destin/Panama City area. Course was in excellent condition....very green and plush and the greens were in great shape! Played The Hombre and Regatta Bay also on this trip and Windswept Dunes was my favorite by far (and I really enjoy Regatta Bay)!!! Windswept was in just as good if not better shape than Regatta Bay and the price was over 1/2 less than Regatta Bay. I highly recommend the 30 minute drive from either Destin or PCB to play this course. You will not be disappointed!!!
Windswept Dunes Swept us Away!!!
What an amazing course! We have played several courses in the Panhandle area and this was by far one of the nicest this time of year.
It was the only one that had "green" fairways in February.
Can't wait to go back.
Green fairways
Too pricey for the area. It was nice seeing green in the winter. Carts did not have GPS.
INTERESTING COURSE
IF YOU ARE IN DESTIN YOU SHOULD PLAY THIS COURSE. WE HAVE PLAYED IT A FEW TIMES AND REALLY ENJOY IT
course was in good shape
We had a great time and the starter from Michigan was very good
Well maintained, challenging, and great value!
Well maintained, challenging, and great value! Definitely worth the drive.
Course was enjoyable to play.
I have played this course on 4 other occasions when we are in the area. It will always be one of the courses I play when we are here. This time the greens were a little slow and some of the fairways were being worked on. The putting green is large and in good shape but the driving range is not in the best shape.
Course was challenging but fair
I totally enjoyed the experience at wind swept dunes. The greens are so big but so challenging. It was a great experience and the staff was super friendly.
Secluded but big course, great greens.
Long course out in the country. Very secluded, some houses, but mostly wilderness. Challenging greens due to slopes, but they rolled well. Some course maintenance in progress on a couple holes, but not really an issue. Really enjoyed the round. Great value.
Very nice course.
Very good course for the money. Off the beaten path. Very nice!

Would differ with you about course conditions and friendliness of Staff-they couldn't have been nicer, and course conditions have been excellent every time I've played!
