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.

Fix The Greens

Course is not bad but greens are horrible. They definitely do not invest in the maintenance of the greens and it shows. Give yourself and your friends some grace on gimmes because you will earn it

Not worth the money

The greens were in horrible shape and after talking to some of the staff, it’s been that way for a few years. Poorly cut and so many different types of grass. It also looked like they haven’t moved the cups in days. I will never play that course again. I’ve played the Raven before and enjoyed it but because of the Baytown experience I will not go back to either course.

Nice course but not that nice

This is an $80 course at best. I guess the price is more related to the tourist location rather than value of course.

The Links

Loved the course, grouped with 3 others and we had a great time. The course is challenging but fun. Would definitely play here again if I ever come back to San Dest.

Fun time at the Links

Nice layout-bring plenty of golf balls if you are having a bad day. There is a lot of water on the course.

A Course Marshall would help with the pace of play

A sign indicating where the clubhouse is located would be helpful

Good course

The course has a great layout and the staff was very friendly and helpful. The greens were slow, bumpy and needed some care. Give the greens a little help and this will be an excellent course to play.

Best Father's Day Round

This course is challenging enough, but the weather made it more. Even with all the rain delays, this was one of the most enjoyable rounds. The course is very well maintained and the staff are super enjoyable. 5 stars

Fire the Greens Keeper

Great layout and friendly folks. It’s a fun track and not terribly difficult.

The greens are in rough shape. They aerated a month ago and you can still see punch marks everywhere. Looks like they did not use enough sand and clearly have not been rolled in some time. The back nine is better but your ball is still bouncing on all but two holes. I would recommend this course. No one can see your reviews but only stars. That’s weak.
