Burnt Pine Golf Club sits within Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort, one of the Florida Panhandle's most established golf destinations and a property that has defined upscale coastal golf in the region for decades. Designed by Rees Jones and opened in 1994, Burnt Pine carries the kind of pedigree that earns it consistent placement among Florida's top private layouts. Jones shaped a course that feels genuinely removed from the resort bustle around it — wooded, demanding, and deliberately exclusive in character.
The design threads through a canopy of longleaf pines and live oaks, with water hazards and strategic bunkering demanding accurate shot-making at nearly every turn. The Panhandle's terrain allows for more elevation change and tree coverage than most of Florida can offer, and Burnt Pine takes full advantage of that, producing a course that rewards players who manage the ball rather than overpower it.
Access is limited to Sandestin property owners, resort guests with golf privileges, and their guests — which keeps the experience unhurried and the conditions reliably well-maintained.
