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.

Golfer Reviews
Baytowne in July
Played with my grandson. We were paired with a nice couple from St Louis, who encouraged grandson through good shots and a few mulligans.
Course fairways were great, greens were green but a little bumpy. Staff we interacted with were friendly. Layout crossing Hwy 98 (tunnel to cross) was interesting getting us near the beach. Lots of water and sand traps, but course was fair. Played at our pace without pressure. Enjoyed our round despite waiting out a thunderstorm.

Challenging and a fun course. And the fairway was decent. The only downside was the condition of the greens on many holes. I would play there again.
Good course, but greens are in bad shape
Courses was great to play but the greens were not in good shape. Also, has no water available on the course.
Great course; needs new greens
Great course and pro shop, range, etc. everything was in super condition except the greens were really slow and bumpy making it hard to judge the round
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.
Green speed is very slow
Course was good disappointed with the greens very slow for a resort! Bring a mallet putter my suggestion!
On vacation
Great layout, fairways and tee boxes were great, greens were slow but fairways. The staff were great and all very friendly. If in the area . We'll play again.
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!
Greens were long and slow. Otherwise course in good shape
Greens
Loved the course, but greens were not great… very slow and needed to be rolled
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.
