Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort

fairways and tea boxes are in nice shape, but the greens are horrible. Getting overrun with crab grass weeds burned out mower shaved spots very slow.

I always thought Baytowne was overpriced, but it’s tourist rates, so it is what it is. In its current condition, I wouldn’t pay more than $60 to play there. The greens are unplayable in my opinion. Bunkers haven’t seen serious love since Spring (it’s late July now). Course drainage is poor so it’s soggy everywhere. Tee boxes aren’t even, have weeds and invasive grass all over them. I rolled some putts on a couple better managed tee box’s, while waiting, and it rolled a touch slower than the greens - but not much.

The course said it’s hard to manage with 100+ tee times a day on Baytowne alone. I say, that’s approximately $10k per day, $70,000 per week - put a little money into your course for god’s sake!!

Visiting Destin for the first time and with limited days for golfing I chose this course based just on the pictures of the course online. It was a little pricey, but in our opinion worth it. The course was in immaculate condition, staff was friendly and helpful. Cart girl checked on us several times. The only recommendation I would suggest to the course is more cold water available throughout the course to wet cold towels. The heat was pretty tough on the first nine but once we moved closer to the water the breeze was fantastic.

Courses layout and the surrounding scenery is fantastic. The greens were very slow and in poor condition. Definitely not a $100+ course.

There was a 6 playing and 5 people playing and the pace of play was awful two days in a row. We played just 8 holes today due to pace of play it was to slow to enjoy.

Played with 3 players who loved golf pace of play was great never waited or had anyone behind Greens had recently been sanded but we’re still very playable large variety of holes made it interesting

Greens are not in good condition, Very slow and uneven hard to put. You lose shots by putting on those greens. They had lots of spikes from people dragging their feet over the Greens

Course was very nice and everything was well kept the range could’ve been better but it’s the range so I didn’t mind and the putting green was slow and it seemed different than what I’m used to seeing and on the course the greens were not well kept putts were impossible to read and same with the speed I wish the greens were nice would’ve made the course way better but I would still play again .

Greens fairways and rough were very very well kept. Great for the price, well worth it. Range balls are additionally provided. Would recommend !!

Staff was wonderful fairways where top notch and the landscape was beautiful but the reason I’d not recommend this course is because the greens are horrible inconsiderate golfer like two twist on the green with there cleats and up root mountains of grass and leave them behind so if u wanna play who lands closes to the hole without putting this is the course for you. When I asked staff they laughed and said you must of got off Baytown. You would thank the amount of money they charge for a round and how well upkeep the rest of the course is they have a marshal watching for these people

Course and range indicate they no longer care about anything but collecting $150/person. Range is pure weeds greens are pure sand and fuzz.

Greens were recently sanded but otherwise course was great was paired 3 other people who made the experience even more fun Will definitely play again
