Tom Jackson Design
6890 yd. - Par 72
Known as the most popular course at
Sandestin for many years, Baytowne Golf Club now brings a fresh
face to its familiar layout. Extensively renovated in the summer
of 2005 by original course architect Tom Jackson, this course,
twice hailed by Golf Digest’s Places to Play with 4 ½
Stars, is even more exciting. Located on the tropical paradise of
Northwest Florida’s Gulf Coast, between the beaches of the Gulf
of Mexico and the banks of the Choctawhatchee Bay, Baytowne Golf
Club embodies exhilarating resort golf. With a course routing that
takes guests from the beach to the bay, and boasts some of the
only elevation change in the area, Baytowne Golf Club is as
forgiving from the forward tees as it is challenging from the
championship ones. The addition of a fifth set of junior tees also
makes Baytowne Golf Club a great place for beginners to learn the
game, or pick up the pace for an afternoon executive round.
