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.

16th from the fairway Photo submitted by u7885576 on 07/08/2019
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.
Bad greens
I’ve been to sandestin many times in the past and always had a great experience. I was surprised to find the greens at Baytown look like a fairway strain of Bermuda grass has taken over. You can still see spots where there was Bermuda grass made for putting. It reminded me of playing on temporary greens cut in the fairway only much worse. It was very disappointing as they were not really playable. The pro shop told us they just had a lot of grain to them. How embarrassing it must be for them.
Love Baytowne
One of our favorite courses to play. Wish they would offer 9-hole rates.
Disappointed
Arrived for 8am tee time;7:45 hit balls
and teed off on time.Weather was fantastic Course conditions fairly good the greens were awful 😞 were not mowed and rolled at about a six on a stimp measure.I booked online previous day. All went smoothly except for the greens This was Saturday morning primetime
Not sure why greens wouldn’t have been mowed
The course had a nice layout and was in good shape with the exception of the greens, which were discussed in the description on line.
Greens were not as bad as other reviews would have led me to believe, 2-3 greens were pretty rough, others were not bad, however speed of greens was very slow
Green review
This course needs to be shutdown and greens replaced . I was warned when I arrived. These greens are pathetic. The ball moved 4 directions on a 10 foot putt. Take your green fees somewhere else. So sad because course is a great layout. Have to pay me to play there again.
M Pool
The greens were the roughest I have played this year and I play once a week.Everything else was good but the greens hadn’t need rolled in what looked like at least a week
