Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort

I’m over 60 so I played the white tees. It had some doglegs, nice holes along the bay. Fairway bunkers definitely came into play. Overall I really liked the layout. Would definitely play again. The staff was a lot friendlier in the pro shop that the guy at the Raven.

the course itself had a nice layout, Was not too difficult for my wife and step son who are beginners, but some of the worst greens I've played on. The cart boys told us after the round they had been punched a month or so ago and had not been cut since (I assume to promote growth during the hot summer months). Needless to say the were like putting on shag carpet. 2/10 would not recommend.

Sand traps were horrible and too few rakes for the number and size of traps.

Worst traps I have ever seen

I play all of the Sandestin courses regularly. The only knock on Baytowne is that the greens are slow and grain is pronounced. They're absolutely playable. If you've played on Bermuda greens before, just give the grain more respect and enjoy your game!

Raven is always in great shape. If one does not get the best score, there is always the challenge No. 6- the Island green.

All the SanDestin courses seem to have gotten worse over last 3 or so years. Greens at Links had just been covered with sand so putting was impossible. There was no warning of this when booking and there was no reduction in price. Ridiculous to pay $100 for course in this condition and probably not worth more than $75 at all. This was a Hot Deal at $100. These courses are still existing on prior reputation and the tourist trap mentality. I’ll not be playing any SanDestin courses in the future at their prices.

Entire staff was bend over backwards friendly. They took the time to give us a great overview of the course, amenities, etc. Course was fun with the right level of challenge. Price was reasonable for the area and course conditions. Most certainly will return on our next trip.

Greens were a bit shaky (but I think this is due to the excess rain they have gotten). Other than that, the course had awesome staff and a great layout.

I always enjoyed playing this golf course.

The staff were awesome especially Morgan and Billy. The fairways and greens are well maintained, and the sceneries are wonderful overlooking at the Choctawhatchee Bay.

Nice layout but greens are just very slow compared to the other courses in Destin

Greens were trash, with a lot of thick unmoved grassy areas. This course is probably the lowest quality we have played recently in its price range.
