Green review

This course needs to be shutdown and greens replaced . I was warned when I arrived. These greens are pathetic. The ball moved 4 directions on a 10 foot putt. Take your green fees somewhere else. So sad because course is a great layout. Have to pay me to play there again.

First Time Playing

Little tricky finding clubhouse for the first time since there are a few courses on the resort but after checking in they had us paired with another couple which is normal but let us play as a 2 some which was great. Fun course. Price was fair. Would play again

Best of Sandestin courses

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.

Great Course

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.

Great course

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.

Great views

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

Another perspective

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.

Interesting Challenge

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
