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.

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!
Good course for the money
Every thing is big. Lots of tee blocks to appeal to all, wide fairways and huge greens. Have played it several times and will continue. Good golf experience.
Great value for the course u get to play
A little drive out of destin, clubhouse nothing fancy but course is really nice. Very good value and worth playing!
Long course with big greens
Loved how wide open this course was. Lots of room off the tee and large undulating greens on every hole. Each hole was private, you felt as if you were the only one one playing. The course is long so plan on using the big stick often. Water not really an issue. Large fairway and green side bunkers are challenging. Greens were putting fast and true.
The head pro was friendly and helpful. Pace of play was not an issue as the course was not crowded on a Wednesday morning. The only negatives: no GPS or Clubhouse (they operate out of a trailer). I will play again on my next vacation in the Destin area.
well maintained
The course is great shape considering the amount of rain we have had in this area over the summer. I always enjoy playing Wind Swept. I love when GolfNow lets you play it for super cheap.
Good layout, needs attention.
Wide open, not crowded. Great potential with more maintenance. Lot of rain caused poor drainage. Enjoyed the course because of price with Golf Now!
Long, challenging but enjoyable
Long course, especially for women. Was extremely wet due to lots of rain but in super condition. Peaceful & beautiful for a course out in the middle of no where
Challenging but worth it
It is long for women especially but in great condition. Has some beautiful holes . No fancy clubhouse but to us that isn't a factor.
Not a course for walkers.
The course is long in play and the way it's configured. Never see the same whole twice, the layout takes you thru many trees and by homes along the track. Fun course, I will be back when it's cooler.
Tough Course
This course played longer than the yardage listed. The greens were rough from aeration and the bunkers needed attention. A good layout and challenging.
FRESHLY CUT FAIRWAYS MADE SHOTS TRUE
WITH THE HUGE AMOUNT OF RECENT RAIN THE CREWS WERE WORKING HARD ON THE FEW AREAS OF FLOODING BUT OVERALL A GREAT EXPERIENCE
The numerous tee boxes allow for all skill levels to enjoy this course.
Challenging layout with the undulations in the bermuda greens and numerous snad bunkers. The course was a liitle wet in spots due to the heavy rains this summer, but did not take away from enjoying this scenic course.
One of the most enjoyable golf experiences
I played this course solo and wished I could have shared it with others. This was one of the most enjoyable golf experiences I have had. The course is open, the fairways and greens were in great shape and it made you think about your shots.
This was the first course I have ever played in which I used every club in my bag in one round.
I would highly recommend this course to any golfer as it also has very reasonable greens fees, especially compared to many of the courses closer to the beach.

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!
