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.

Baytowne

Course was in good shape overall, but the greens were longer than normal and putting was extremely slow. Bunkers also needed attention, the sand was packed down petty hard. Overall the course was in good shape though. Staff was very friendly and helpful, great experience.

Don’t Bother

The greens are among the worst I have ever played; beat up, covered with sand, virtually unplayable @ $100 to play?!

Beautiful Course!

This course was so lovely & organized! It felt like we were the only ones on the course since no other golfers were ahead or behind us due to the t times being well managed. I highly recommend this course as it was well priced & very well kept!

Slow play and no help from course staff!

Took 5 hours to play due to a 5some and a 7 man group a head of us that the golf staff should have forced to pick up pace or let folks play though. The staff/GM doesn’t give a rip about making the golf experience enjoyable.

Baytown Golf

The course had a good layout, but the greens were awful. I will say they had just been treated but no one told us that. We figured it out on the 1st green. The tee boxes were average at best. If you’re going to golf in this area there is far better courses.

Great Layout

Baytowne has a great layout and a reasonable price, but right now our group found the greens to be very rough, shaggy, and super slow. Good pace of play and staff was friendly.

Nice course

We always enjoy Baytowne. Wish they offered better rates for locals and for playing only 9 holes.

Great round of golf

The course was a lot of fun. The greens had just been punched so it was very hard to make a put

Nice layout, poor conditions

The course layout and fairways were nice, tee boxes just okay but the conditions of the greens were not good. They were punched and extremely sandy due to aerification. I will give it another shot in a few months when the greens are back to normal.

Nice Course

Course is in great condition even though they just aerated. Greens were sandy as expected but didn’t take anything away from the experience. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. Enjoyable round.
