![]() One of our most popular activities is golf. Our 73 holes of championship golf rated Meetings and Conventions magazine's "Gold Tee" Award. You will discover exceptional play with new courses to try in addition to the outstanding facilities that have made the name Sandestin synonymous with great golf. Baytowne Golf Club Baytowne Golf Club, designed by golf course architect Tom Jackson, offers guests incredible views of the Gulf of Mexico and Choctawhatchee Bay. On the front nine, Jackson created a 3,300-yard, pine tree-lined layout that is heavily bunkered. On the back nine, he took advantage of the land's elevation changes to create some of the most spectacular views of the Sandestin property. Water features are strategically placed throughout the course, creating a fun and exciting golf experience. Burnt Pine Golf Club Legend has it that, over 130 years ago, a Scottish sea captain buried a treasure chest at the base of a pine tree charred by lightening. Shortly afterward, his treasure was lost when a fire hid his landmark among hundreds of burned pine trees - hence the name Burnt Pine Golf Club. Today, this Rees Jones-designed course features tumbling fairways and undulating greens that meander their way through wetlands, marshes and towering pine forests. Stretching nearly 7,000 yards from the championship tees, Burnt Pine is ranked as one of the top 30 courses in Florida by Golf Digest and called the "Crown Jewel of Florida Golf" by Golf magazine. The Links Course The Links Course is a meandering expanse set against the backdrop of the Baytowne Marina and Choctawhatchee Bay. This course is designed to challenge your game as well as your ego. Designed by Tom Jackson, the course winds its way through numerous marshes, and over a third of the course plays on or near the Bay. Careful judgement and strategically placed shots are musts with the added element of changing Gulf Coast winds. The Links is consistently ranked as one of the most challenging, fun courses in Florida. The Raven Golf Club The Raven Golf Club at Sandestin, designed by Robert Trent Jones, Jr., is among the finest golf courses in the region. The Raven weaves its way through Sandestin's wetlands, marshes and thick stands of pine trees and features, according to Jones, Jr., "a run of some of the best par 3s, 4s and 5s in the Southeast." The Raven measures 6,900 yards from the championship tess, play to a par 71 and features water on 11 of its 19 holes. For group reservations, contact Hilton Group Sales Office at (850) 267-9600. The Dunes Putting Course Another exciting addition at Sandestin is The Dunes, a uniquely designed 18-hole contoured putting course now ready for play for skilled golfers, novices and the entire family. The putting surface is a unique sand-filled carpet that closely resembles the "feel" of putting on a natural surface. For example, many holes feature a "break" that will affect the direction of a moving ball. Par on the course is 51. There are holes with pars of two, three and four. A six-shot maximum is in effect to maintain the speed of play. For information, please call (850) 267-5532.
