Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort

Beautiful setting! Wonderful staff. Back 9 ion pristine shape….front 9 not maintained as well.

Have played this course now three times. After checking in I went to the range where I had to wait about fifteen minutes for one of the eight bays to open up. The range balls had not been washed as the majority of them were muddy. They just pick the range and put them back into the baskets. They had more than half the range closed (see pictures). With two courses (Raven and Baytowne) going, only having 8 spots to hit from on the range is an incredibly dumb move. The bathroom in the pro shop was out of order too. The course itself was in good shape and pace of play was good for a resort course.

The many sand traps were in horrible condition The cart path is in desperate need of repair. The practice range was set up for only 8 to 10 golfers —-less than half the number needed to serve their two 18 hole courses.

Course overall was in good condition. The greens at the Links course were head and shoulders better than Baytowne. Several of the sand traps could use some more sand. Several tee boxes need some attention and grass. Had a nice time.

Only issue was yardages on the cart GPS were all wrong. Probably cost me four or five strokes and two balls in the water.

Staff were all friendly and helpful. Course conditions were good to very good. Layout requires premium accuracy.

We were behind a 5-some that slowed everything down. When we called the pro shop, they said they let 5-some’s play. Never heard of this. Thats the only thing negative - otherwise it was great golfing.

Course was in good condition. Greens had been over seeded so they were shaggy and slow.

Thought the course was in great shape for early spring. Greens were spot free but just a touch slow. That is the only complaint I have but as the day got hotter they sped up a little bit. Beautiful course otherwise.

Because of recent rains it was cart path in the rough which slowed down play. But course was in great shape, Greens were slower than the week before which took some adjustment. Each hole has a unique challenge. 5 par 3s that are very short but are incredibly challenging for birdies as well as double bogeys.
