How to play

MEMBERS + RESORT GUESTS (LIMITED TIMES)

Burnt Pine is the only Sandestin course not open to the general public. Members play anytime. Resort guests can play after 1pm (summer) or 12pm (winter). Here's how to get on:

The local's take

[DRAFT — rewrite in your voice] Burnt Pine is what you play when you want a real championship test on 30A. Rees Jones designed it to ask questions on every hole. Front nine wanders through pine forest, back nine opens up to the bay. The catch: members and resort guests only, and even resort guests are time-restricted. Plan a stay through Sandestin if you want a clean shot at this one.

Holes worth knowing

The back nine views along Choctawhatchee Bay are the headline — but the par-3 14th over water is the photograph.

2Par 5 · 569 yds
The bunkered par 5

One of the longer holes on property at 569 from the back. Rees Jones forces a decision on the second shot — left-side fairway bunkers shrink the layup zone.

6Par 3 · 202 yds
The long par 3

At 202 yards from the back, this is the long iron test. Three sets of bunkers frame the green.

14Par 3 · 212 yds
The water carry par 3

All carry over water from the championship tees. Wind off the bay decides everything.

18Par 5 · 577 yds
The closing par 5

577 from the back. Three-shot hole for most. Risk-reward second for the long hitters — bay views on the approach.
