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.

Slow greens wow unexpected

Very nice course but for a higher class course greens were exceptionally slow. The layout and scenery were very nice, but it was cart path only which was annoying.

Nice Track

It had rained the previous day so it was cart path only. A lot of laying water in the bunkers. Not the courses fault, I concede. Greens were slow the grass seemed fuzzy and needed cutting. I will play again to see if it plays better.

Okay round

I played here last year and enjoyed the course, it’s a fun layout for sure. The only knock I have is the speed of the greens, they were very slow!!! Maybe it was the holiday, I don’t know but these were far and away the slowest I have played since coming down. Otherwise we had a great time and played in just under 4 hours which was nice. May try again but lots of options. So to post they required me to say whether I recommend so I will say yes with faster greens!!!
