The local's take

Baytowne is the locals' choice at Sandestin. Tom Jackson found elevation where there shouldn't be any. Routing wanders from beach side to bay side. A real alternative to Raven if you want something less penal but still interesting.

Holes worth knowing

The elevation changes set Baytowne apart in a flat region — and the bay views on the back nine are the photograph.

6Par 4 · 415 yds
Elevation par 4

One of the rare elevated tee shots on 30A — see your tee shot land. Approach plays back uphill.

11Par 3 · 175 yds
Over water par 3

All carry. Wind off Choctawhatchee Bay adds a club at minimum.

18Par 5 · 535 yds
Closing par 5 along the bay

Finishes with the bay in view. Reachable in two for the brave.
