Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort

Would highly recommend..It was a little pricey, but worth itt if you’re not looking for more of a budget friendly round. Staff was great and very helpful.

Greens are horrible. No one to monitor slow play.

We played Monday 5/27/24. No mention of aeration before during or after paying. They should have discounted the fees. It had probably been a week or so, just guessing. Nice course, just wish we were warned.

I have been playing golf here for about 5 years. The greens at this time of the year is not in perfect condition, but it's playable. Some of the greens needs TLC, just like the greens on hole #10. There were some bald spots. Some of the greens were very slow, and some of the greens also needs a little bit more shaving. It's inconsistent greens... otherwise, it's a nice golf course to work on your game...

First, let me say the golf course itself is a gem and when conditions are good then this course is worth every bit of the $150+ greens fee.

However, I played in June 2024 and the greens were incredibly slow, hairy, and grainy. Florida weather has been normal with little rain so there was no real excuse for a $175 course to have greens in that condition.

Next, the price comes with free range access yet there were no range balls available 30min before my tee time. Several other golfers were out of luck as well and asking why all the buckets were empty at 130pm.

Finally, the clubhouse was closed when our round ended around 6pm - so no bathrooms, no snack bar/drinks, no merchandise available to purchase.

All these things are acceptable for a $80 course - but at $175 I can’t recommend this course to a friend.

Fantastic course. Shot placement and distance control are key here. This makes it a fun and challenging course. Plenty of holes look like the signature hole which made it enjoyably challenging to figure out which hole actually was the signature hole. The driving range was closed which was a downside because this is a course you absolutely need to warmup to play. Overall well worth the money. Will play again.

Not overly difficult. Fairways and rough were in great condition. The greens were still recovering from the aeration and were slow and unpredictable. The bunkers were hot garbage.

With so many large sand traps you need more rakes. That will ensure people rake after their shot.

Group of 5 in front of us were all hitting multiple balls off tee. No Marshall to speed up .Never saw cart girl and can't bring own food or drinks. They should tell you at office to buy ALL you need at concession before teeing off. Then we would not of been dying of thirst after front 9. Not even water jugs on any tee boxes for this issue. That's poor management! Course definitely was challenging and pretty good shape. Will not play here again for above reasons

The staff was great. My first time playing and they showed me where everything was. They had great attitudes and the course was very nice. A couple groups of 5 out there but they let me play through. I will definitely be back to play.

Overall it was an enjoyable round with my 2 sons. We were paired with a lady golfer from ATL who was really pleasant, but it would have been nice to know in advance. Amenities are fairly weak and the staff definitely needs some lessons in manners and golf etiquette. It’s amazing to me how course staff can forget who the customers are. Staff wise and overall experience stood out in stark contrast with our other 2 local course experiences.

We really liked the layout of this course - lots of good golf holes. The course was really well maintained except for the greens which had been recently aerated (and thus they were not smooth or true, which really affected our putting). Pace of play was really good - the starter let us go ahead of a five some (not sure why that was allowed) which was appreciated.

Best course I have played. Course is challenging but not over the top hard. Fairways were excellent. Greens were fast so stay below the hole. Staff were friendly. Would play again for sure!

Course itself was in pretty good shape, but the greens were atrocious. Not sure I’ve ever played on worse greens. They were extremely uneven, had humps, grass wasn’t smooth. It was impossible to get a consistent roll/read on the greens… and it wasn’t just one green, it was the majority of them.

Decent course but not worth the money. Had a 4oclock tee time and weren’t able to buy drinks at the clubhouse. They said the cart girl would be around. Never saw her and everything was closed by the time we got to the turn. Were able to get a cup of water tho!:) better off not even bringing your driver. Water forces you to layup most par 4 and 5s.
