About Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort

The Florida Panhandle is known for its world-class beaches, and since 1973, Sandestin has offered a Gulfside retreat and an increasing menu of golf options. Situated on 2,400 acres, the resort boasts more than 1,000 total rooms, suites and villas for couples, families and buddy groups. Its four golf courses include The Links, Baytowne, The Raven and Burnt Pine Golf Club. Burnt Pine is an otherwise private club that makes tee times available to resort guests. Sandestin's sheer size means that practically any beach resort amenity is available, including the large Baytowne Marina.

Great track, just no range time.

Raven was fun as usual but weren’t allowed to hit balls on the range because we were waiting for the guys to finish mowing. 7:27 tee time and we showed up an hour early, kind of disappointed after we drive all that way down for the week and deal with that kind of stuff. Lots of sand on greens but otherwise great shape as it has been in years past.

Baytowne

Course was in good shape overall, but the greens were longer than normal and putting was extremely slow. Bunkers also needed attention, the sand was packed down petty hard. Overall the course was in good shape though. Staff was very friendly and helpful, great experience.

Great Course, bumpy greens

The layout of the course is great, fairways were in good condition and not too narrow. The greens had been aerated and after the heavy rain were very bumpy.

Layout Excellent
Difficulty Somewhat Challenging

Good -- Almost Great

Tee boxes and fairways were in great shape; scenic layout; the greens were ragged with sand; play was slow.

Don’t Bother

The greens are among the worst I have ever played; beat up, covered with sand, virtually unplayable @ $100 to play?!

Beautiful Course!

This course was so lovely & organized! It felt like we were the only ones on the course since no other golfers were ahead or behind us due to the t times being well managed. I highly recommend this course as it was well priced & very well kept!
