Rating 76.8

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.

Windswept Dunes

Windswept Dunes offered everything that a true golfer could want. The course layout was excellent, providing a beautiful backdrop to play the wonderful and frustrating game of golf in. The tees were amazing, the fairways were awesome, and the greens were the best I have ever played. The staff were welcoming, friendly, and accommodating. For my first Florida course with my son, we had an amazing time and will be back in the future. If you are looking for a great place to play a round, this is the place to be hands down. Thank you for making my vacation time with my son an even better one with a great place to play the best game on earth!

Rushed the whole time we were there

Beautiful course but we were constantly being pushed by the marshal to pick up pace we had a 4 man group of experienced players so pace was not slow but to pay $100+ to be rushed around was beyond ridiculous im a local to the area and wont be back

Great course- funky greens

First time playing. I will go back. The fairways were beautiful, the greens were in good shape- but lots of undulations. Some of the pin placements made it more difficult than I would have liked. Our cart gps didn’t work- but the guys we played with knew the course which was very helpful

I look forward to playing it again

Great course and worth every penny!

I loved that they had several different tees to accomodate all skill levels. From the scratch golfer to the weekend warrior.

Excellent tees, fairways, and greens. The greens are huge and have a moderate speed.

I really enjoyed my round and will be back!

W O W !

Totally worth the drive from Fort Walton Beach (42miles). We’ve played every course in the area and this is by far the best course in the we played. The folks at National Golf Outlet turned us on to the track, and so glad they did. Were a little hesitant at first but the drive was worth it for sure. Amazing experience. So peaceful you can hear yourself walk on the fairways. Speaking of fairways, they are super wide, green and soft, and make for an enjoyable round. We had a 5HCP and an18HCP in our group, and both were thrilled. Tees range from 7200 to 5200 so there is something for all skill levels. Do you self a favor and make the short drive for something special.

Great value, excellent conditions and good pace of play

I had never played here before but now that I have I will play here each year when I vacation in the area. Fairways are very wide with generous greens. This is a resort style course so losing a ball is difficult to do. So this is a relaxing round if you play your yardage. If you want a challenge then you can play all the way back! Highly recommend!

Must play in Destin and Panama City area

This was our third time playing and we enjoy coming here each year as our golf getaway from the beach. Conditions were excellent from tee to green. Several sets of tees to use depending on skill level. Tough but fair test of golf and enjoy the round even if I’m not playing my best. Would love to play this place more frequently, but alas we have to return to the real world. Highly recommend if you are in the Destin or Panama City area.

Surprising Experience

My son and I gave the 7800 yd track from the back a go. What a test, in a good way. Receptive green, bailout options, and during peak vacation season no one in front or behind. It’s out of the way from the beach, but very much worth the drive. The time spent driving is saved playing as pressure is light. Great staff, really nice practice facilities -: well. We’ll be back!

Great course!!!

Have not played this course since last year. It is in great condition. Fairways and greens in excellent condition. It was a HOT afternoon and we were only players out. Course had cold towels available to help cool us down. Placement of fairway sand traps and grass knobs make you think about where you hit your tee shots. Will be back to play again.
