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.

Very nice course

Beautiful course to play. A lot of water, and can be a bit windy sometimes, but very enjoyable. I wish their practice range had room for woods and drivers. The putting and chipping practice area is great. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Overall excellent value for the price. I will definitely play here again.

Baytowne!

Pretty good golf course. For February, the golf course is in very good shape. Grass on some tee boxes is a bit thin, but expected this time of year. For a high end resort, all three public play golf courses are sub par from a maintenance standpoint. Most bunkers are not dressed or raked daily, some are almost hard-pan. Greens are usually pretty good EXCEPT Baytowne. They are always painfully slow. I have been playing these courses for 20+ years and I’m a member at the Sandestin Golf Club so I have significant experience here. The Raven/Baytowne practice range is average at best. The grass is pretty good. Too often they don't have an adequate number of stations set up. And way too often the practice balls are dirty. It would not take a ton of extra care and attention to significantly improve the overall golf experiences at Sandestin. It just needs management that cares about it enough to see the details are important to the golfing members and guests.

One of the best in the area

Best course I played all week in the area. Nothing else compared. Course was in great shape even for winter. Excellent layout, and greens in great shape. Course is normally a little pricey, but GolfNow rate made it a “steal”. Would love to play this course again!

Always love playing The Links. The greens are in great condition. The course was slow after the morning rain. The only problem I have is the cart paths need some work.

No Club House

Just a pro shop and a small outdoor place to grab a beer. Kinda like a halfway house.

But the course was very good.
