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.

Nice place, not enough parking

I was suppose to play on the 26th at 2:20. I arrived about 1:00, dropped my bag off, then circled the parking lot looking for a spot. After 30 minutes I gave up and picked my bag and went home….. figured If there was no where to park the course we be packed and play would be slow.

Improvements

Really need to utilize the great location of the pro shop and minimal snack bar to expand the halfway house to contain indoor seating and open the pro shop up for a more spacious and useful area. Might even pay for itself

Not Great

Couple things made for not the best experience.

Thankfully only in one trap all day but really no sand in any of them, more dirt and mud.

The starter tracked us down on the second hole and accused us as playing as a five-some and insisted one person didn’t pay. Very strange.

The 700-yard difference from the tips to the next set of tees is crazy, there really needs to be a 6200-6300 yard option, even if it is a recommended combo.

Sand traps

Tee boxes and fairways were in good shape. Sand traps have been neglected for months. Some washed out. Might find a rake every once in a while. Greens no mowed and ball marks everywhere. Safe your money and play somewhere else.
