Two decades later, the resort again drew attention to its tennis by building a brand-new tennis center near the marina on Choctawhatchee Bay. Overview The resort and its residential developments now cover some 2,400 acres. From there, the resort extends northward completely across the peninsula to Choctawhatchee Bay. Highway 98 slices through the middle, separating the smaller Beachside development from Linkside and Dockside. Among them these three developments encompass four golf courses, a small fitness center, a marina, a complex of shops, several restaurants, and more.
Lodging ranges from rooms at a modest hotel to four-bedroom condos.
Also within the complex is a Hilton hotel. It has also given the staff people to draw on when resort guests need games. Tennis director Dennis Fortenberry played his junior tennis in Texas, then went on to the University of Southern Mississippi. He's been at Sandestin since 1986. He heads a strong and personable staff.
