Out early, done early

We played as a twosome, first golfers to tee off. Temperatures were high 40’s at 7:30 am. Greens were in great shape but a bit slow. Fairway grasses were still tan/brown but gave lots of roll if ball was kept low. Temps warmed up by the 3rd hole enough to shed a layer.

Great layout!

Prob the most scenic course in the area. The staff is prob the rudest bag boys I’ve ever come across. The dude with the round bucket hat, go find another job!!! Took 3 pga course pros and everyone said the same thing. What is up with that guy.

We won’t be back..

If one hates the job that much, quit and don’t work either the public.

Fun round

Challenging golf, but mostly generous landing areas. Mistakes will likely end up in water. Greens were good but not great. A touch slow. In all good winter golf.

Course is soaked from overwatering

10 holes of the course is virtually unplayable due to overwatering. It’s slushy everywhere. 8 holes across the highway were dry and not in great shape but at least playable

Chilly Round!

Played on 12/31 teeing off just after lunch; was pretty chilly. Not my first time playing here. The course was in good shape, but the greens were very slow. That said, it is head and shoulders in better condition than Baytowne (avoid Baytowne). The courses at Sandestin have so much potential, just wish they would put in the effort to make the greens and traps nice. We were staying on property, so it is very convenient to play here. Would recommend if staying on property at Sandestin and looking for convenience.
