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.

No Club House

Just a pro shop and a small outdoor place to grab a beer. Kinda like a halfway house.

But the course was very good.

Excellent Layout

Very good condition for a February round. Greens were a bit slow. Pace of play was fantastic. Finished round in less than 3 hours, on a Saturday morning. Some challenging holes, but a fair layout. Would definitely recommend this course and will play again.

Links course review

Course is green and in great shape. Only feedback is the greens are super slow…they need to be rolled or cut. They were also inconsistent. The rest of the course is incredible.

Favorite Destin course!

I had such a great time! Loved the course so much and can’t wait to go back. It was by far my favorite course I played this year in the Destin area.

Nice Golf Course

I have been playing this golf course for about 5 years now, and so far this has been the nicest greens in 5 years I ever seen. It has improved about 10 times since I last played this course, which is about 6 months ago.. I highly recommend that you'all have to try playing this golf course when you are in the area. It is worth the money.

I also seen that there are many hard working staff still working on the bunkers and fairway greens. So, it will be nicer when they are done.

Baytowne

The greens were very, very, very disappointing. They were so slow it was almost impossible to putt on or chip onto. Greens were like a plush carpet in my home. Don't want plush carpet on a golf course. I will not be playing Sandestin - Baytowne GC again. Please fix the greens.
