Mostly good round

First time playing this course and for the most part it was great. That said, I’d expected the course to be a little better than it ended up being. Tee boxes were a bit sparse in some areas and the greens definitely need a bit of work. None of the shortcomings were make or break by any means, but given the 100 something dollars I paid to play, I thought it’d be a little bit better. Nothing against the course and I’d definitely play there again, just might look for a hot deal.

Very pleasant, great shape

Course was in fantastic condition. Greens well kept, pace was good. Course design had some interesting challenges without trying too hard to be gimmicky. Very friendly staff. Good pro shop selection. Would play again

Good layout. Good flow

Baytowne is a good layout. Greens had been recently aerated so can’t pass judgement there. Fairways good. It’s a fair test of golf and a reasonable value. I’ll continue to play it along with the other two.

Would like to see a course Marshall monitoring pace of play.

The Links at Sandestin

Since the greens had recently been punched, the pro shop was discounting the green fees which was nice. I really liked the course. Lots of water everywhere but there were plenty of bail out areas so you didn't feel like you had to make the perfect shot every time. Plenty of difference from the different tees to make it as difficult as you wanted. My wife and I played with a single who had played the course before so he and I played the white tees, which were the mid/short length for the men. My wife played the red tees. A very enjoyable round of golf on the gulf coast.

Convenient location with lots of water.

Overall the course was pretty nice but I wasn't aware they had punched the greens so it wasn't possible.to try and shoot a good number due to.the greens.

The course appears to stat busy but I doubt I would play there again when.they go back.to full price unless its a tournament.

Will be better later

Beautiful course. Wide fairways but water is in play on a number of holes. Greens were still recovering from aeration which we knew ahead of time.

Raven

I read several reviews on course, I experienced some of the similar issues, bunkers were very inconsistent, greens were just ok but they had been aerorated around the first of month, so you have to expect time to heal. The seat on my cart had a big rip on it and every time I got in it would scratch my leg, very unacceptable for a golf course charging these rates. The guy at front desk was not very inviting just name and tee time is all he ask. Not welcome glad you’re here or anything close. The starter was not friendly at all, no information giving about coarse was provided, again name and tee time. I will not play this course again when visiting I understand there are other courses in the area that would be joyful to play. Please do not play this course.
