Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort

Raven in decent condition, but starting to show signs of neglect. Baytowne in terrible shape, greens close to being lost and may need to be replaced if someone doesn’t get on top of situation.

Really enjoyed the course. The Greens though… were rough and bumpy the day we played. Thank you to the guys working in the clubhouse who altered us to the greens conditions ahead of time.

Most of the course was great. The greens were a little bumpy but not as bad as I expected. Good little course overall. I’d play here again.

One of my favorite courses in the area. Greens were good and course was beautiful. Views of the Bay also are also great. Will be back for sure !

They change cups only every few days

Horrible condition with gouges at cup edge

Greens slow and irregular

Condition same no matter time of year

Scenery is the reason to play. A shame to not keep this layout in better shape. Lots of play and thus plenty of revenue.

Played the course again for the 2nd time in 4 days.

Fairways and tees are plush and very nice.

Bunkers were fluffy enough that I had an embedded lie or two (my fault it was embedded, not the course's).

Greens - rolled good. Probably 8 on stimpmeter. A little discoloration on most greens but didn't affect the roll. A few 'fuzzy' spots' that were obvious if you read the grain of the putt. Overall, fun.

This is a great course for a fun recreational round. The greens are slower than a 'championship' course, but Baytowne is NOT a championship course. It's a resort course that gets a LOT of play. If you are a low handicapper, you might be disappointed. If you are an average golfer...play the course and have fun.

Greens were disappointing…extremely bumpy and SLOW. It’s a good layout though

Put your driver away. This course requires accurate shot placement. Play the Course not the clubs. Narrow fairways and sharp doglegs makes for some interesting challenges. The course runs along the bay on several holes making it visually awesome, and on a windy day anyone's guess where to hit the ball.

Good Luck

They need to keep things moving. Took 5 hours for 18.

Course layout was really good. Fairways were excellent but the greens were in really bad shape. Was told at check in the greens had been top dressed. Greens had not been mowed before and had tons of sand. They were slow and bumpy and tough to putt. We used a 2 putt rule on every hole. We paid 90.00 to play and i would of been ok with that if the greens were even fair shape. I thought there should of been a good discount to play. Will certainly check next time before i bood a tee time

Course is a great layout and fairways/bunkers were in great shape. Pace of play was slow.

Disappointed in the greens, which were top dressed with sand and was told, when I asked about it, that they are always that way. Tees were good in good shape either.

But they have really let this course go. What a shame. It could be a great course.

I'm a member at Sandestin and have played Baytowne many times. The layout is fun. The fairways are plush. The tees are great.

The greens are GREATLY improved over where they were 2 months ago. They are not a 12 on the stimpmeter, but they are puttable and predictable and rolled very well.

Today the greens were approximately an 8, but rolled true. They were so much better that I flagged down one of the guys that were mowing one of the greens to tell him how much better they were.

Don't be afraid to play this course!
