Baytowne at Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort
Rating Snapshot
About
Baytowne Golf Club at Sandestin Golf & Beach Resort is routed from the beach to the bay, providing stunning views along the way. The course rolls across the few elevation changes that the area has to offer. Although it opened in 1984, the golf course didn't reach its peak until it underwent extensive renovation in 2005, which were carried out by the original designer, Tom Jackson. The layout features rolling fairways lined with mature pines that are generous and times but can be tight when you least expect it. The large, undulating greens can also play faster than what you might be expecting. Water, which comes into play on 12 holes, is a prominent feature of Baytowne Golf Club as are the numerous bunkers strategically placed throughout.

Best Golf Course on Florida Panhandle
We have played Baytowne numerous times while we Snowbird on Florida Panhandle. It is by far the best course and our favorite. We prefer it over Raven and the Links course.
Highly recommend!

Beautiful course with fun layout
We were visiting areas and thanks to Golfnow golfer’s ratings; we landed on Baytown and The Raven. They were pretty booked so we grabbed a Hot deal for 2:30 at Baytown. We were greeted by bag boys and they grabbed our bags. The pro shop guys were friendly. We asked if we could get paired up earlier and they told us to check with the starter. The starter put us on an hour early. We did get stuck behind 4 of the slowest golfers I had ever seen. They would wait on every hole for the group ahead of them to be off the green before teeing off. The courses was drenched with water the day before so it was cart path only, which always slows down play.
The course shape is fantastic for February and as wet as it had been. The greens were perfect. The pace was slow but they rolled very well.
I would highly recommend the course and would love to give the Raven a go.
Thank you for reviewing the course with 4-stars! We apologize for the delay of play during your round. This is by no means the standard we strive to achieve. With that in mind, we are working to best control pace and allow everyone to finish in a reasonable amount of time. We will continue to look for ways to improve. Thank you for playing and we hope to see you again soon.

Chilly Day, but Excellent Course!
Golfed on a chilly day for Florida, but the course was in excellent condition and quite challenging from the back tees. I needed to be careful of the water and out of bounds as well as the bunkers by the well guarded greens. I would play this course again if I had the chance!
Thank you for your kind words! We hope to see you again at the course very soon for another 5-star experience. Thanks for choosing Baytowne at Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort.
