Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort announced the completion of a comprehensive renovation of its Burnt Pine Country Club, expanding the exclusive social club’s capabilities to include group events and weddings while adding new luxury amenities.

  • The $4 million renovation of the 10,000-square-foot facility delivered a grand dining room with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the golf course, highlighted by five golden chandeliers and skylights. The space includes white round tables and ivory chairs for flexible seating arrangements.

“The Burnt Pine Country Club renovation transformed our members’ experience,” said Sara Becnel, president of Sandestin Investments LLC. “Together with Design Continuum Inc., we’ve reimagined a space that respects our traditions while introducing modern luxury and convenience.”

The renovation added a six-seat bar with cerulean velvet stools and wine lockers for members, who can store and enjoy premium wines on-site with waived corkage fees. An eight-seat table for family dinners and a four-seat table complement the bar area.

  • Stephanie Boyd, project director at Design Continuum, said, “We enhanced the existing architecture with English manor flooring, linen ceiling accents, and rich colors, creating a grand, residential feel.”

The club’s culinary offerings, led by Chef Liz Latham, now include daily lunch and dinner service, plus weekend brunch featuring bottomless mimosas and a build-your-own bloody mary bar. The menu emphasizes fresh, sustainable ingredients from local farms.

Updated locker rooms feature spacious dressing areas, a sauna, and showers with white quartz countertops and coastal-inspired tiles. The outdoor space includes rattan and wicker seating around a fire pit.

The renovation enables the club to host weddings and group events, with the venue offering a waterfront space and scenic lawn with golf course views. Sandestin’s events team provides comprehensive planning services, including vendor coordination and day-of management.
