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.

Condition issues/6 player groups
We found numerous leaks in the course with large puddles of water surrounding the irrigation systems, greens were not maintained well at all, weather has been great for 4 days. No excuse for this. I think they need to have someone look at this and fix it. They also allowed 6 players in groups. Pace of play was an issue. Only supposed to be 4. Raven which was only ten dollars more would have never looked like that.
We appreciate you taking the time to review the course and rate us. We are going to pass on your feedback to the team. Thanks for visiting Baytowne at Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort, and we hope to see you again in the future.
Thank you for the awesome rating! We hope to see you again at the course very soon for another great experience, and thanks for choosing Baytowne at Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort.
Great Staff and course layout.
Overall the experience was great. Luckily I got a "Tee Off" deal and did not pay the full $105.00 green fee. The greens on most holes had been overcome with some sort of native grass. The were pretty slow and do need some attention. Fairways and bunkers were in good shape. I would recommend if you are in the area and can get on for less than $80.00
Thank you for visiting us at Baytowne at Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort. We appreciate your 4-star rating and review. We hope you join us for another round soon.
Review
This place is long in the tooth, expecially for a resort course. It is mor like a dedent Munni. NO range balls (however there were about 50 balls on the first fairway)
Don't think you ard playing a nice course, the greens are extremely slow and lots of weeds on course.
Thank you for leaving us a review. We are sorry to hear your experience was anything short of 5 stars, but we hope you will give us another try in the future. Thank you for choosing Baytowne at Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort.

Played behind a sixsome
Course was in good shape except for one fairway (think it was 13). Greens were slow, bumpy bermuda. The only black mark on the course was the 6 some that was playing 2 groups ahead. My foursome had to wait on every hole. Ended up being a five hour round. It was surprising that a resort course didn’t have a Marshall driving around to maintain pace of play.
We apologize for the pace of play issue you experienced. We always try to keep a great pace when having our golfers on the course. Thank you for taking the time to give us your feedback as we will use your review to better the experience going forward. We hope you give us another try in the near future!
Fair track
The fairways are good size in landing areas with not too much trouble. Long distance from green to tee. They said we played to the bay, but it wasn’t that close. Our cart died at 15th hole. Had to call for a new one which was brought right away. Overall, I would try the other 2 courses before playing this one again. Middle of aeration season and the greens hadn’t come out of it yet

Wet Baytowne
It had rained the night before so it was cart path only. Found standing water on some holes and it was quite mushy in places but due to the amount of rain the night before we weren't terribly disappointed. Some fairly were thin on grass but considering the conditions we enjoyed the course.
Thank you for your review, and for the 4 stars! We will pass along your feedback to our team at Baytowne at Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort. We hope to see you again soon.

Baytowne Golf Course
Wow what a surprise. I have not played Baytowne for several months but I’ve played it at least seven or eight times in the last couple years. The greens this time were the worst they’ve ever been. Even though they did not aerate recently the greens were very very bumpy and very long and slow. It was worse than putting on most fringes on nice courses. I will not go back again this year to many other nice courses in the area
Thank you for taking the time to review us, and for the 3 stars. We're sorry to hear the course may not have been in the best shape on the day of your round. We appreciate your feedback as we work to make any necessary improvements.

Had fun
I played this course for the first time. Overall it was a good layout. The friendliness of the staff was awesome .
My only complaint was the Greens were a little rough but in all fairness they had been aerated a couple weeks before and the course was extremely wet but that's weather related. I look forward to playing this course again in the future.
Thank you for taking the time to review us. Your feedback is valuable, and we appreciate your business. Baytowne at Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort thanks you!
