Sandestin Golf Courses 9300 Emerald Coast Parkway West
Destin, FL 32550 Baytowne Golf Club
The Baytowne Golf Club gives guests the best of both worlds, with landing areas
that invite guests to unleash the driver, and greens that reward a strategically
placed approach shot. Baytowne is as challenging from the championship tees
as it is forgiving from the forward ones. Tom Jackson created a heavily bunkered,
pine tree-lined, 3,300-yard front nine, while taking advantage of the land's elevation
changes to create some of the most-spectacular views.

Santa Rosa Golf Club
4801 West County Highway 30A
Santa Rosa Beach, FL 32549
This Tom Jackson-designed course winds through pure- white sands, pristine ponds and lush vegetation with two Gulf-view holes. All 18 holes boast newly renovated Tiff-Eagle greens. Don't be misled by the 6,500 yards you'll see on your scorecard. It plays like a deceptive 6,800-friendly, provided you play it
smart. The club is semi-private, open to the public.
You'll be swept away by the serene beauty of this dune-lined course that meanders through 750 acres. While the setting is breathtaking, what makes Windswept Dunes truly remarkable is that there are no crowds -- no hustle
and bustle at all. Here, off the beaten path, it is easy to be serene. The spacious
18- hole is a demanding 7,607 yards from the championship tees, but with five
additional sets of tees, offers challenge and excitement for golfers of all abilities.
Experience the unique chance to play amidst sugar-white sand dunes and across emerald-green fairways. Carts are equipped with GPS yardage systems. The Doug O'Rourke designed course, featuring miles of spectacular white-sand dunes (some as high as 20 feet!), large rolling fairways, artful bunkering and immaculate conditioning, frames itself in rare, unspoiled beauty.
