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.

great experience
Played a busy sunday morning
Pace of play was perfect even with my not so experienced wife playing along, she had a fantastic time the guys behing didnt play into us not one time.. staff was professional and respectful. Course layput is challenging yet allows some mishits without punishing you too bad so recovery shots are readily available. Tees were nice fairways were very nice and greens were quick but not too fast.
Bunkers were ungroomed but playable.
My lady played her best round to date and i bogiied last hole foe a 69. Wasnt disappointed for the money we paid

Nice track
Layout and staff were great. We are staying at Sanddestin resort so location was great.
Believe the course/area received 8 inches of rain a few days ago that contributed to the eroding sand traps. Overall, I’d recommend the course.
Thank you so much for the great review. We are glad you had an incredible time, and we hope to see you again soon! Thanks for choosing Baytowne at Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort.

Not what I expected
Disappointing.
Directional signage is needed. We had to stop several times to ask for course direction.
Course was too muddy to play in several places.

Seen better days
We haven’t been to Sandestin for 4 years but had been 6 or 7 times before and always loved Baytowne… however was a little disappointed this time… needs a little love…. Tee-offs were very ordinary and greens were very slow and ball jumping all over the place. Hard to get a good putt. But still loved it as I always had a soft spot for this course.

Early Saturday round
Course was cart path only, basically under water. Decent conditions, “Baytowne normal”.
Traps wet/ unrated, understandable with the 8+ inches of rain Thursday
Screen for yardages pretty useless with cart path only. Bring your rangefinder!

Overpriced
We played on a Sunday after a rain storm as a walk on as it was close to where we were staying. Greens were rough and balls did not roll well.
Fairways were O.K but some of the tee boxes were in poor shape. Course is well laid out. I have not played in this area but thought we would be playing a much nicer course for the money we paid. It would be good value for $55-$65.
Would not play again.

Nice course
I love the layout of this course. We played the back tees, and since they had received a lot of rain it was all carry and played long. My only complaint is that the greens were some of the slowest I've ever played. There appeared to be 2 different types of grass on the greens, and the lighter colored areas were particularly slow. They had recently punched them, so it could be they were still recovering. Otherwise, it's a great layout and a lot of fun to play.

Slooooow
My wife and I played behind a group of five which turned in to a group of 8 drunk guys. There were no marshals to break them up and move them on. It was a beautiful day and the course is great, so we enjoyed the round, tha took near 5 hours.
