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.

Have to let us warm up

Somewhat disappointed
Arrival and check -in was easy and staff friendly. Upon checking in we were pointed toward the driving range to warm up. The range only had 8 player slots to hit from and had people lined up waiting to warm up. I was the only one in my group who was able to hit a few balls before our tee time due to limited space on range. When I did get to a spot to hit balls I had to go barrow balls from one of only two baskets that actually contained range balls. When we teed off we were told that the team ahead of us was already on hole #4 so no worries abut playing too fast/slow. The first two holes were the only ones played without another group of players up our butts the rest of the day. We were courteous and let the first small group play through, but weren't doing that a second time. The beverage cart girl was the highlight of the round.

Bad greens
Greens were in subpar shape.Played a course the previous day for half the green fee with much better greens. Other than that, course was in pretty good shape except for a few wet spots from the wet weather they’ve had here

Great experience
Played in late July and the course was in great shape. Beautiful scenery. I spent a lot of time trying to choose which Sandestin course was right for my party. We are an average group. Played the blues and had a lot of fun. Easy to find trouble and get out of it.
Thank you so much for the great review. We are glad you had an incredible time, and we hope to see you again soon! Thanks for choosing Baytowne at Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort.

Okay-towne
Some good holes, greens are maybe a 9 so much slower than I am used to. They have had problems with the greens due to all of the rain and then excessive heat Also, If it rains the night before, sleep in because the range will be closed..
There are no rangers on the course and it is packed. We played in 4:15 but only because the group in front of us got off after 9

Great layout and good condition
The greens and course were in great shape despite some big rain this week. The sand traps (especially on #9 need some work and extra sand. The tee off on 16 still needs work but overall the course plays fair and in great shape

Cart path only was annoying
Not a bad layout. Cart path only was a pain. Fairways were kind of muddy for the most part but it hadn’t rained in two days. Some fairways were nice and dry and could have rode on. They should reduce the price if they’re going to have it cart path only.

Would not spend my money here
Decided to play Baytown because the course looked nice online and couldn't get on Raven. The ONLY person at this course that was some what friendly was an older gentleman that worked the counter. EVERYONE else acted as if I was a bother to them. From the other older gentleman at the counter to the starter to the help! I wouldn't spend another dime at this course! For the money the greens were in poor shape, on 2 holes the cart paths didn't exist and it was like a pasture (It had rained a lot early in the morning and it was a mud pit through these paths) After finishing I went in to buy a shirt or hat (as I always do when playing a course I visit) and the older lady working the counter was rude and like everyone else acted as if I was putting her out to ring up my purchase!
