Baytowne at Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort

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.

EAGLE BABY!!
Great layout and condition. Early tee time and no traffic. Eagle on 16 from 140 yards out made lunch taste better.
Wonderful
Really enjoyed playing here again. Fairways and greens in great shape. Staff were courteous and friendly. Hope to play again soon!
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.
Best golf
When golfing at all three courses (Raven, Baytown & Links), you're in Heaven!
Poor conditions
We were told at booking that the course had been over seeded recently. We were not told that so much water was put on the course that conditions were very wet and carts were not allowed in the fairways. For older golfers this made for too much walking . We should have canceled our round due to course being too wet.
Golf
The Baytown course was in great condition everything from checking to finish was great .
One of our favorites
Love playing Baytowne when we can get a good deal. Otherwise too expensive. Wish they offered 9 hole rates. Or discounts for locals.
