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.

Not Great

Couple things made for not the best experience.

Thankfully only in one trap all day but really no sand in any of them, more dirt and mud.

The starter tracked us down on the second hole and accused us as playing as a five-some and insisted one person didn’t pay. Very strange.

The 700-yard difference from the tips to the next set of tees is crazy, there really needs to be a 6200-6300 yard option, even if it is a recommended combo.

Sand traps

Tee boxes and fairways were in good shape. Sand traps have been neglected for months. Some washed out. Might find a rake every once in a while. Greens no mowed and ball marks everywhere. Safe your money and play somewhere else.

Overseeding But Good

As is the case with many courses in the South this time of year, Baytowne is coming out of overseeding so the conditions are not ideal. Greens were very slow and the course was moist but that's because they need to keep the grass from getting dry. However, this is a nice track with some great holes and I would definitely play again when its' in better shape.

Lovely afternoon

We always enjoy playing Baytowne. Not as soggy and wet on the course this week. Wish they’d offer specials for locals and for playing only 9 holes.
