Windswept Dunes Golf Course

I love the layout and the big greens. Greens are typically very good but currently been healing from some spot, killing and the tough winter.

Love this course. It plays a little long, but I’m not a long hitter so for the above average golfer, it would not be hard off the tea to the green.

We loved Windswept Dunes. Nice range and practice area and the course, while different, is a lot of fun. Plays a little long, but I’m not a big hitter so that factors in. Overall, I give it a five star rating.

Windswept Dunes is a must for anyone to play when down on 30A or the surrounding area. The layout is really good and you can play the course as long as you can handle. The Ocean tees (Blue) are 6900 yards and a very solid test. We play here every year when down.

The course layout is interesting and scenic in many spots. Staff was friendly. The course plays long being at sea level. The duo that I was paired with, their cart broke down and we had to wait a while for a cart swap. There’s no beverage / cart person running the course so you will need all provisions before and during the turn. Now the really bad part, THE GREENS. They told everyone that there were brown spots and the greens still rolled true. That was not the case at all. It’s like they spot sprayed roundup at least 100 times on each green and it severely altered the course of the ball. I would say that even with nice greens, the fee should be less than $80 or $90.

Loved the course - fantastic layout, but the greens aren’t ready yet - I would’ve been very disappointed had I paid full price, but thanks to a “hot deal” I didn’t - would go again, if I was down this way, at a later point in the year

Wish I would have known the greens were sanded. As a vacationer I hauled my clubs for a few rounds in the area and wasn’t made aware thru my booking that the greens were just sanded. I wouldn’t have chose to play here. Also upsetting that a course expects patrons to pay full price to play on sanded greens. In some spots we were literally putting g on sand. That and the starter starting groups 7 min apart so early in the day made for multiple groups on each hole / sometimes 3/hole on the par fives. Waited every shot and had the group behind us on ever tee shot waiting/watching. Overall we made the best of what was a very dissapointing situation, especially being as I had played this course once a few years back and thought it to be a good experience hence the desire to return. Staff was nice despite my request for reduced fees upfront given the sanded greens.

The tees & fairways are in great shape. However, the greens were sanded & very grainy which made it difficult if not impossible to hit most greens & have the ball stay on the green. The least the pro shop could do is let you know the current conditions of the greens before you pay FULL PRICE !!! When conditions are below standards I feel that the green fees also should be reduced below standards as well!!!

Prior to playing, I was warned it would take a long time for a round at Windswept. No issues as courses get busy. Issue I had was the Marshall kept bothering us about playing slow when we were not. We explained to him twice that we bumped up against the group in front of us almost every hole. He didn’t listen and continued to tell us we needed to speed up. He suggested that we skip stopping after nine only to find when we got to 10 the group in front of us stopped. You might want to find someone that understands the pace play before you send them out to hassle your guests.

The course layout is great. Pace of play was great. Course in good condition, but green in very rough conditions. Cost to play this course is not equal to conditions because of the greens.

Maybe I expected too much for this time of the year but the price lead me to believe the course would be in much better condition. I played other courses in the area and wasn’t disappointed. Fun layout, maybe I’ll try again later in the season.

Challenging and fun course. The conditions lacked this the lower overall ratings. At this price point I expect a much more premium experience. I’d say this is a $75-85 price point vs the $125 they charge.

Staff is very friendly and variety of hole shapes makes it challenging and a lot of fun.

I love the layout of this course. Wide open fairways and lots of bunkers. You'll be rewarded for staying in the fairways and playing conservatively. It plays really long but there are 5 or 6 tee selections so it can play much shorter for those that can't play the longer course. I played from the Emerald tees with it being my first time plus the guy I got paired up with played from that tee as well. I would normally play from one of the further back tees and if I come back, I likely will.

The course is different than any other that we played near Destin. It is a challenging course and the conditions of the fairways and greens were excellent. We recommend this course for sure!
