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.

First Time Playing a Sandestin Coarse

Enjoyed playing Baytowne at Sandestin. The experience at Sandestin is top notch and the coarse itself was pretty close. Enjoyed the overall layout but the conditions had me wanting abit more. The greens were very slow, thinking they didn't cut them that morning and that's my biggest pet peeve with a coarse of that caliber, greens should have abit of speed to them. Other than the issues of the green, the coarse was in pretty good condition. I'm thinking it was the time of year, would love to play Baytowne again but would need a good deal to tee it up again, glad I didn't pay full price.

Great Time

My friend and I are from Columbus Ga. We met my brother from Ohio and his brother in law from Fla in Destin. played Baytowne and loved it. Course was a little wet and it was cold and a little windy but we had a great time. This was their first time here and they loved it. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Planning on playing again before we go home.

Don't play after it rains

No driving range use allowed. Cart path only. We were never informed of the unfair changes to our course experience.

Did not play. I arrived 1 1/2 hours early to hit balls but the range was closed. I had played in about 3 weeks so I chose not to play.
