Burnt Pine Golf Club by Rees Jones: The crown jewel of Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort in Destin
DESTIN, Fla. -- Designed by Rees Jones, Burnt Pine Golf Club, a private club open to resort guests, is the crown jewel of Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort in northwest Florida and one of the best in the Sunshine State.
Overseeded wall-to-wall in the winter time, course conditions are almost Augusta National-like, but the scenery of the pine forests, wetlands and Choctawhatchee Bay are what make this 7,000-yard gem a delight. Add to that a really nice variety of holes -- including some of the prettiest par 3s in America -- and you've got a special experience.
Side by side with Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort's Raven Course, it is the only place in the world where Rees and Robert Trent Jones Jr. courses meet.
