Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort

Great layout. Waiting 30 min on the 7th hole to hit a shot. Then every shot from that point forward was 5 to 10 min wait. The ranger said go complain if you want. He was rude. Never have I waited that long for shots. Great condition and great layout but will never comeback because of the wait.

Friendly pro shop. Helpful staff. Course was a lot of fun. Loved the views of the bay. Carts were clean. Fairways were the best grass in town. Greens..nice. Not enough trash cans or toilets. You better have a big bladder…cuz you’re holding it.

Greens were full of sand and wasn’t informed of this before the starter mentioned it

Course has a nice layout but not worth the price. They say in golf you use more than half your shots inside 120 yards . In this case the greens were non existent as with weeds and sand all over them so 3-4 putting was common (and not due to skill).

The sand traps have not been maintained well either and need some big time work .

Really enjoyed playing at the links for the first time. Course and views were beautiful. Fairways and green were in good shape. The Pace of Play was the only bad thing unfortunately. Played the front 9 with my dad in an hour and a half but took nearly 2 1/2 hours to finish the back 9 due to waiting on multiple groups ahead. Loved the course and had a great time none the less.

Was assured via phone prior to round the greens were good but slow. Patches of grass and very bumpy. Hole were terrible with grass growing into them. Bunkers were full of erosion exposed drainage pipes. This course hasn’t been maintained at all. These issues show signs there been this way for awhile

Have played this course many times but never again

For the price to play the course is in terrible shape. Way too expensive for the conditions of the course. It appears that all they do is mow the grass. The golf superintendent should get out of his office and see how his employees are not keeping the course in good shape. I would not recommend this course to anybody because there are a lot of courses in better condition for less money to play

The course itself was in great shape, but the pace of play was horrible. 5+ hr rounds are not desirable.

Prior to making reservation called the club house about the greens. Was told they were slow but playable. They were in awful condition. Bumpy, slow, dead spots. The holes had grass growing into them. Worst greens ever. Bunkers had erosion and black muck. I question if they even have a grown crew. Have enjoyed this course in the past, but never again

Course was in good shape, however, we were behind a 5 some and must of been a bachelor party as someone in their group had a heavy foot and tore up the greens. But overall the course layout is good and will try and play this course another time.

Beautiful course with some challenging fairways. However, mostly a par 4 course that requires an excellent tee shot to reach the green in regulation. The greens were rough and needed more care. A nice bonus is the free driving range. We also missed the service cart, which finally came around st hole 18. A tad too late. Overall a great experience. I will play here again

I have played all of the Sandestin courses at least 10 times in the last few years. Baytowne is usually one of the easier courses in good but not great shape. I spoke to a couple people at the course and learned they aerated the greens just over a month ago, and they have never recovered. They got some kind of fungus on them that they haven’t been able to figure out how to cure. The greens had a lot of sand on them and were slower than most fringes and very bumpy. I don’t think I’ve ever played a course with so much crabgrass on it. It’s on many of the tees, most of the fairways and also in the rough. The tee boxes are also not in good shape and some of them have not been cut in over a week. I wish they would have communicated the poor condition of the course before paying and playing out there. I paid $200 for two players and would not have wanted to play there for $50. I hope their grounds crew can figure out all the issues and be sure and, use crabgrass pre-emergent later this year for next year. When I ask an employee in the pro shop if they have been out and seen how poor the conditions on the course were, and their response was no I haven’t been out there for quite a while.

Baytowne course was in really bad shape. Greens were unputtable and some tee boxes weren’t cut.
