Baytowne at Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort
Rating Snapshot
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.

Great layout Slow Greens
Of all the courses we have played this season this ranks number 2 for layout and conditions. One of the few that actually have playable tee to green conditions..
Greens are beautiful as well but running way to slow to allow you to score. Perfect for lawn bowling...lol We advised the proshop and they agreed perhaps they will lower the blades on the mower and take the speed from an 8 to at least a 10...hopefully they will and that will make it a perfect track.
If not bring the heaviest putter you have I know we all have a few go to in the closet.
Baytown
This was a very enjoyable round of golf. Staff was very helpful and we got out early. There was a range, chipping and putting green, all included. The course was in great shape and the greens were fast. It was a challenging course, but not over the top. We would play here again!
Wow! We are so happy you enjoyed your round! We look forward to seeing you again soon at Baytowne at Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort.

Greens were the slowest I’ve ever played.
Played Saturday, February 25th. Staff and starters were terrific however the slow speed of the greens ruined any concept of putting. Not certain if this was normal but the conditions spoiled our day.

Everything was average
Average tee boxes, fairways and greens. However you paid a premium price to play. Also slow play due to many hackers out playing with no ranger to speed up play. Really not worth the price. One positive is that they had excellent carts.
