I played this course some 18-20 years ago and it was great. The overall ambiance, with the course surrounded by mansions is great. The golf course is another matter. The fairway grass is sparce with lots of barren spots and lots of mud. The tee boxes are 2 on a 10 scale. The greens are the absolute slowest I've played in years although directionally true. It is sad because this was a fabulous course in its day. We are not yet in true transition season here, so that is no excuse. Other courses are pristine condition right now. We paid $84, which was supposedly a discounted price. At the Very Highest, this should be about a $39 golf course and it would lose out to some others in that price range. I happen to belong to a moderately expensive country club and played this with friends to save on green fees. We were all sorely disappointed! BTW, the staff seemed disinterested and boarded on rude. Really a shame....

Descent layout. Lots of bare spots in fairways, greens not in overall good condition and greens shaped like a putt putt. Overall disappointment for what I expected at Sandestin.
