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.

Baytowne San Destin
Course in pretty good shape for winter. Greens running slow. Staff very helpful; ex. One of our foursomes golf bag was horribly managed by the airline/ground crew/ who knows. Three wood head was snapped off. When staff saw the bag and just the shaft of the club left, without prompting, went and found a three wood for the golfer to use- and didn’t charge us! That was exceptional service. Other than the fact I couldn’t buy a putt, the course was fair and in good shape.

Nice layout. Fairways and Greene’s in good shape although there were many ball marks not repaired on greens. I would rate pace of greens as 7 with 10 being very fast. Would recommend!

Senior Experience
This is a beautiful layout with plenty of sand and water like most Florida courses. I was treated like a welcome guest. I am an 18 handicap senior. I played the white tees and made pars on the par 3s and par 5s but did not reach the par 4s in regulation probably because I was trying too hard for extra distance and wary of unfamiliar hazards.
I had a fun round paired with other winter visitors from out of state. Pace was a little slow for my tempo and greens were slower than my home course.
Thank you for your kind words! We hope to see you again at the course very soon for another 5-star experience. Thanks for choosing Baytowne at Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort.
A must play golf course
This is my 3rd times playing this golf course, and because of the excessive rain it was a cart path only. I can see the repeated tire marks from many carts on the fairway grass. However, I also seen so many staff greenskeepers were really working hard to keep this golf course impeccable.
The starter named, Ed was the best he was very accommodating to every golfers requests.
Highly recommended golf course.
We are so pleased that you enjoyed your time at Baytowne at Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort. We look forward to seeing you on the course soon for another 5-star experience!
Great day of golf
We had to play “carts on path only” due to 3” of rain two days before, but the course is in fabulous shape, fairways, tee’s, green’s, and bunkers, all great! Great carts with up to date technology also.
Thank you for your kind words! We hope to see you again at the course very soon for another 5-star experience. Thanks for choosing Baytowne at Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort.
New Years Eve
Nice pace on NY weekend. Recent rain made it cart path only but understandable. Fun course
Thank you for your kind words! We hope to see you again at the course very soon for another 5-star experience. Thanks for choosing Baytowne at Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort.
Overpriced for conditions
Good course to play but definitely recommend other Destin courses for the same price. Greens were bumpy and slow. The course has a good layout and pace was good. Staff is very friendly as well.
Baytowne Sandestin is an excellent track!
The fun factor is preserved at the Baytowne course Sandestin. The course is being maintained nicely for Winter conditions (overseeded). They finally groomed the bunkers after holiday hiatus, but most are in need of additional sand.
I would definitely recommend this course to locals and out of towners alike. Would love to see the establishment enclose the veranda and add a grill to enhance the overall experience.
