Baytowne at Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort

The staff was friendly the golf carts and GPS worked as expected the fairways were in great shape ,,but the Greens were horrible ,, they hap some unknown grasses growing in them , and we weren’t told of this ,, I finished the front 9 walked into the Pro Shop and told the person at the counter the greens were pretty bad ,, and his response was ,, why do you think it’s only 89 dollars ,, the money wasn’t the issue ,, I want to be able to putt ,, so I’m giving this course a poor review ..

The layout is fine Lots of water and sand in play. Sand had standing water in some places and seemed like caked mud in others. Greens were unputtable. Long and bumpy. Very frustrating. Until they should have told us ahead of time. Not worth playing until the greens are fixed.

Worst ever and will not come back you guys should be ashamed we would been better off playing a par 3 course greens was the worst ever greens keeper should be fried been coming here for 29 years

Greens were punched and sanded last week and were in better shape than yesterday. Looked like the greens mower was set too low and every one was scalped over the entire green. Putting was a challenge for 18 holes.

Otherwise we enjoyed the course and especially the back 9. We play this course and The Links every time we come down 3x year.

I have always enjoyed this course in the past. However, the greens are in terrible shape and the bunkers are completely washed out. Clearly there has been a lot of rain but the course needs serious maintenance and attention. It should be better.

I played there yesterday after playing there probably 25 times previously. This was worse than a municipal course. All traps were washed out. Greens were browned out, and not been rolled or mowed. They were very bumpy. There was no one at the staging area to unload our clubs. There was no starter. Many of the tee boxes were full of weeds. The course, was soaking wet, yet a huge sprinkler head on the 18th fairway was going the whole time we played the hole. After the round, I went to the clubhouse told the staff person that I normally don’t complain and told him all of the above. Rather than give us a credit on a future green fee, his response was simply “I’m sorry.”

Played here a few times and never seen the greens in such terrible condition

This course had everything. Diseased greens that hadn’t been mowed and you could hardly putt on, mud in every bunker, beat up tee boxes, even a dead possum in the cart path on #14. The fact that they charge a $100 green fee in the off season is almost criminal. I can’t believe this is a resort course. They would have to pay us to come back.

The course was damaged by a storm two days earlier. No warning. Traps were GUR and the course was cart path only.

Don’t know what was going on with the greens but they were in terrible shape not what I would have expected from such a highly recommended course

For as nice of a resort that sandestin is, the baytowne golf course is on the struggle bus.

The absolute worst golf course I have ever played ! If you read this review and still play…. You’re an idiot. The bag drop guys said that the course is unplayable because of the greens. I called and booked tee times, the whoever in the pro shop did not say anything about how poor the conditions were. After nine holes of putting on gravel, we called it quits.

I asked for a full or partial refund……the whoever in the pro shop said well since you played nine there will be no refund because you should have quit earlier?????? You can’ make this crap up. Emerald Bay, Regatta Bay and Indian Bayou are a thousand times better and cheaper! DON’T WASTE YOUR MONEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tee boxes were great fairways great easy to spot trouble off tees I enjoyed the day with my son

Greens, in fairness recently sanded, are very poor. They were poor in the spring when I played it and at that time had not been sanded or aerified. Condition of bunkers is terrible. Fairways & roughs are OK. I’ve played here a couple of times a year for about 20 years, and this is the worst condition I’ve played it in, especially for late summer. Going elsewhere from now on.

The staff was courteous. The course was in pretty good shape but the greens were not the best. Overall it was a good outing.

Yeah the greens were hairy after being punched but always a great place to play.

People were wonderful, the course has looked better. Greens were very rough. Overall though it’s a pretty layout and fun to play.
