Rees Jones-design honored alongside prestigious golf venues
(DESTIN, Fla.) – Burnt Pine Golf Club – the acclaimed Rees Jones-design at Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort on Northwest Florida’s Emerald Coast – is featured in Golfweek’s “State-by-State” rankings, which highlight premier daily-fee layouts and courses accessible via resorts.
Burnt Pine is in elite company alongside several hosts to professional TOUR events and world famous resorts. Burnt Pine’s rating puts it in the upper echelon of Florida’s golf properties.
“We are honored to be recognized by Golfweek, one of the game’s foremost authorities,” says Jared Morton, director of Burnt Pine Golf Club. “This accolade is a testament to Burnt Pine’s incredible layout, as well as our staff’s dedication to providing pristine conditions and unparalleled service.”
Leading golfers through pine forests, wetlands and beautiful water views along the Choctawhatchee Bay, Burnt Pine is consistently cited as one of Florida’s most challenging, scenic and stunning golf experiences. The course is private, but resort guests have access and privileges by taking advantage of designated morning and afternoon tee times.
Burnt Pine is one of four championship courses at Sandestin. Raven Golf Club, designed by Robert Trent Jones II, has hosted PGA Champions Tour events. Baytowne Golf Club has five sets of tees, including a junior tee box, and is an ideal family or day of arrival course. The Links Course is the original Sandestin layout, and a longtime favorite of guests and locals. Sandestin offers a variety of packages and golf options for every level of player, from novice to professional.
