About this course
Burnt Pine, a jewel within the Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort, is a course etched into the Florida panhandle’s landscape, offering a golfing experience as visually arresting as it is strategically challenging. Rees Jones, the "Open Doctor," subtly redefined the original course layout to demand thoughtful play across its diverse terrain. Characterized by its coastal location and a landscape dotted with native pines and undulating fairways, Burnt Pine favors players who can master both distance control and shot shaping. Jones' revisions brought subtle contours and strategically placed bunkers that frame the emerald green fairways. Though not a regular host of major professional tournaments, Burnt Pine holds a respected position among area courses, drawing local and regional players who appreciate its meticulously maintained conditions and challenging layout. Burnt Pine is a club where the spirit of the game thrives, as does its commitment to excellence as a destination for golf.

Getting there
The gateway to Sandestin Resort is Northwest Florida Beaches International Airport in Panama City, roughly forty minutes east along the Emerald Coast, though many guests opt for the slightly longer drive from Pensacola International or the convenience of Destin Executive Airport for private arrivals. The route west on Highway 98 traces the shimmering arc of the Gulf, where sugar-white sand and turquoise water announce your arrival in one of Florida's most polished resort enclaves. As you turn inland toward the sprawling 2,400-acre property, the coastal highway gives way to manicured boulevards lined with palms and live oaks, leading to a resort village where championship golf, marina life, and beachfront luxury converge in seamless harmony.
