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.

16th from the fairway Photo submitted by u7885576 on 07/08/2019
Greens were a bit shaky (but I think this is due to the excess rain they have gotten). Other than that, the course had awesome staff and a great layout.
Below average for the Money
Greens were trash, with a lot of thick unmoved grassy areas. This course is probably the lowest quality we have played recently in its price range.
Bad visit
Been playing this course 14 years when we come down for vacation. Generally it is one of my favorites in the area. I may have caught them during a bad period but the greens are not good. Rest of the course is in its typical good condition. But greens were painfully slow, worse than any muni I have seen in years. If you like them ultra slow, then make it to the course and you will enjoy. I still recommend the course and again, maybe I was there when they couldn’t mow the greens for several days. Right now, just be aware.
Great layout
Course is fair, no gimmicks. Early tee time, and finished in 3 hrs 15 minutes.
Greens very slow!
Discounted Green Fee
90 dollars was the discounted rate, Greens were horrible, sedge grass and weed clumps in some of the fairways...It's current shape...it's a 50 dollar course max. Liked the layout, didn't care for the FIVE-some playing ahead of us, We were a 3 some, and it never occurred to them to let us play through. That's a course issue as well, never let a 5-some out on a Saturday morning, and then no ranger to educate them.
Nice course needed green conditions to be disclosed
Greens had been punched and sanded and I did not know before I made my reservation
In the future this should be disclosed before the round is reserved
Terrible Course
This was a complete CRAPHOLE! Do Not Waste the Money!! Don’t play at all costs! TERRIBLE TERRIBLE TERRIBLE TERRIBLE!
Sandy Greens
Greens were full of sand and wasn’t informed of this before the starter mentioned it
Course with no greens and sand traps
Course has a nice layout but not worth the price. They say in golf you use more than half your shots inside 120 yards . In this case the greens were non existent as with weeds and sand all over them so 3-4 putting was common (and not due to skill).
The sand traps have not been maintained well either and need some big time work .
Greens and bunkers awful condition
Was assured via phone prior to round the greens were good but slow. Patches of grass and very bumpy. Hole were terrible with grass growing into them. Bunkers were full of erosion exposed drainage pipes. This course hasn’t been maintained at all. These issues show signs there been this way for awhile
Have played this course many times but never again
Baytown waste of money
Prior to making reservation called the club house about the greens. Was told they were slow but playable. They were in awful condition. Bumpy, slow, dead spots. The holes had grass growing into them. Worst greens ever. Bunkers had erosion and black muck. I question if they even have a grown crew. Have enjoyed this course in the past, but never again
Vacation golf.
Course was in good shape, however, we were behind a 5 some and must of been a bachelor party as someone in their group had a heavy foot and tore up the greens. But overall the course layout is good and will try and play this course another time.
