Planes & helicopters

One of my favorite courses in the area. Course in very good condition for this time of year. Staff was friendly although we did get rushed to the first tee considering that we arrived early. The layout is challenging enough for our skill level. The fairways were decent. The bunkers were in good condition. The greens were in good condition and challenging with varying degrees of undulation. We were paired with another couple which worked out well. Beverage cart came by a couple times.
Busy day at the on-course airport during our round. Lots of planes and helicopters overhead.

4 star

The good: excellent greens and staff, nice electric carts, nice clubhouse, good bunkers,
The not so good: fairways, no beverage cart on Sunday, the tee markers - really difficult to relate to scorecard tees - very confusing
Minor nitpicking: no ball washers on course

The layout was fairly easy but course plays longer than yardage

Visiting Palm Ciast

We found Cypress Knoll exactly one year ago and decided to come back on our current trip. We were not disappointed. The staff is very friendly and the course is challenging and in very good condition. On a windy day like this, the course plays especially tough. The greens are also in very good condition and with enough undulation to be very challenging. The pace of play could not have been better. The fee for our round was very fair. The golf carts ate very old and look like they are in need of an upgrade but they work. A tip of the cap to our playing partners who were very friendly.

Plays long

Course in very good condition. Some wet spots. Wind was a factor on some holes. Very challenging course that seemed to play longer than the yardage. Got a great rate for our round. Staff is super friendly and helpful. Beverage cart came by often. Look forward to coming back.

No better views

Pros: course - fairways and greens were perfect although not a lot of carry in fairway due to lush grass.greens are fast. Fescue rough is punishing so don't go there. Overall, course is excellent.

Cons: no starter; no help at bag drop; no GPS for yardage and limited yardage markers on course; $95 greens fees; no beverage cart.

We loved the course and the scenery and would make the trip again at a lower rate. You just can't beat the views here.

Good course

We enjoyed the layout. Greens were fast and true. Fairways had expected thin lies. Good course for men and ladies mid handicap. Many of the fairways were tight especially from white or blue tees. Staff were very friendly. Would play here again.

What’s the pointe

Pros: great staff, great clubhouse, beverage cart, greens were in pretty good condition, and very challenging, beautiful signature hole
Cons: many fairways were uncut and was like playing from the second cut, lots of hole layouts were poorly designed, some crazy slopes and lots of blind shots

Needs work

Great layout just doesn’t seem that this course has been maintained very well.
Greens were good and bad. Apparent fungus or some disease on many greens.
Looked like leaves had been in bunkers for days and no rakes.

Cold N Wet

Good news: had the course to ourselves; great layout ; friendly staff
Bad news: greens were slow and bumpy ; it was 50 degrees and sprinklers were on everywhere so very wet
Summary: disappointed in Baytowne course especially since other Sandestin courses have been so much better in the past. Would recommend Emerald Bay over Baytowne for similar cost

Hello, bfallgren. Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We are sorry to see that your overall experience was anything short of 5 stars due to green speeds and wet conditions, but we are glad to hear you enjoyed the great layout and our friendly staff. It is always great when the course is open for a nice pace of play! Please come back for another try in the near future.

Vista & Dunes

Course was in very good condition for February. Greens and fairways were both in good shape. Very hilly course especially on Dunes which made for some difficult lies. Not too crazy about the Dunes course and slope may be underestimated. Would be good if they gave you the option of course combos. Might pay again for the right price. Also they have a good monthly deal for snowbirders although we didn't bite because of the weather uncertainty.

Municipal course

Course is a little rundown but it's a good layout and challenging with many trees hanging over the fairway. Greens were decent. Fairways were a little sparse but glad to be playing in February
Probably a very good course back in the day. Pro shop was very good about letting us know of the delay on the back 9. Overall we enjoyed the round

Water everywhere

Seemed like water was in play on almost every hole from the white tees so add a little wind and it's a challenging 9 holes. Course was in very good condition given the recent weather.

good track

we enjoyed the course. fairways and greens were good. many of the greens are small postage stamps. Back 9 is more challenging as fairways are very narrow. had to wait on most holes so it probably took us 4.5 hours.
golf club staff were very friendly. FWIW wife is a beginner and she didn't like the course as much but I would play it again

Find Your Game

At first look, this course is not that appealing because there is no pro shop and nobody to ask where the first tee is so we just picked a cart and went on our way. We crossed the road and found the opening in the fence, and proceeded across the horse pasture, followed another group and found the first tee box. Once we actually found the golf course, we were surprised that the greens were pretty good although all of the fairways were more horse pasture. There was a staff member who took interest in the five-some ahead of us but we were okay with them as they were playing quickly. The course was actually somewhat challenging. The only real complaint was a couple of teenagers who insisted on playing on a par 3 green while we were trying to tee off.

Silverado is a keeper

Nice layout. Front 9 is narrow on many holes. Back 9 seemed A bit easier. Saw the cart girl several times. Club staff could not have been more friendly. Course was in excellent condition. Pace of play was good. Tees little long for beginners like my wife and back tees could be a little short for long hitters.

Top 5 public course in GA

We love coming to Harbor Club. The staff is always friendly and helpful. Food is great and Golf shop is always stocked with great apparel.
We have played this course 3 times now and always in great shape. It helped that we last played just before the club championship but also played in June and it was also in great condition then. We have yet to experience slow play at Harbor Club. We would play it more often if green fees were slightly more reasonable but for now we''ll continue to look for hot deals on GolfNow

Best course in Destin area

My son and I played the Raven course and my wife rode along in a 4 person cart (very cool!). We were paired up with a nice couple and the round was very enjoyable. The course was in excellent condition and very challenging from middle tees. Although we had 2 inches of rain, 2 days prior, the fairways were still very playable. The undulating greens were in excellent condition. The staff was great but would have expected a little more of a bar and restaurant atmosphere off-course. There was a cart person so that helped.

Hi bfallgren, It's always great to be paired up with a fun group. We're glad to hear course conditions were very playable even with the recent rain. Our staff works hard to maintain the course for our golfers. See you soon!
