Baytowne at Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort
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.

Golfer Reviews
greens bad
greens are very bad
golfcours is without greens wonderful
Needs work
Course is in rough shape. Greens are lumpy and not fun to putt on.
Fun Course - Mostly Good
Staff is friendly, Course is busy but pace was good. Greens were not in good shape. I have a feeling they had recently been overseeded and were not in the best shape because of this. Fairways were very nice.
I will play again
Baytowne Golf Course
To be fair the course looked pretty good considering it took a direct hit from a hurricane just 4 days prior. I give the staff and green keepers a lot of credit to get it ready to go. Still had several downed trees spread throughout the course, which were in the process of getting cleared up, but overall looked great!
Looking forward to playing it again!
third time playing
course looked good but was really wet. Green wear really slow and a little rough. I do like the lay out of the course. But first two times playing it was in better shape. It is shorter course so play one back from your regular tee"s.
Shaggy Greens
Course was in good shape. The greens are shaggy. The tee boxes are in rough shape. Not bad for $70-$80 in the area.
Not bad
Conditions were fair being that the greens were very bumpy and not true for the price paid. Rest of the course was in good ( not great) condition.
Men’s restroom across 98 the lock was broken and I got stuck in it for about 10 min before freed by a player from our group.
I would play it again.
Baytowne
Course layout is pretty good. Fairways and tee boxes in good condition. Greens are bumpy and slow
Hot Trash
You are better off going to a mini golf course than playing this hot piece of trash that I played today. We paid resort prices for a golf course that would make your local muni look and feel like Augusta national. These "greens" look like they have caught a case of shingles and they appear like they haven't been mowed in weeks. The tee boxes were beat down. The mud traps had feral weeds growing everywhere. Fairways were okay for the most part aside from a few that had a case of crab grass. Ponds had so much algae sitting on top of them that they started stinking. Pace of play was horrible, Marshall came up and I asked about the group in front of us having 2 holes open in front of them and was told we'll they are consistently playing. If i had paid $45 to play, this wouldn't be an issue, but double the cost, it isn't worth it. At the club house I said the course was awful and I was told "yeah, we have been getting complaints about it, sorry". Take the drive and find somewhere else to play. Play at your own peril.
Great Say on the Course
I played Sandestin Baytown for the first time in a while. A lot has been made about how the greens are horrible, but they are making a comeback. As for the rest of the course, the fairways were in excellent shape as always and the tea boxes were pretty good as well. The staff is always helpful and very pleasant to speak with. I highly recommend the Sandestin courses.
Great condition
We played 2 days in a row and the course was in fantastic condition. Staff was friendly as always. Can’t wait to get back next year!
Nice course greens are not good
Loved the course and conditions but the greens were not very good and the traps had a lot of rocks in them.
