Raven at Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort
About
Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort offers four 18-hole, championship courses designed by three renowned architects. Raven Golf Club, designed by Robert Trent Jones Jr., was carefully carved through marshes, native wetlands, and towering pine forests. Jones created a layout that is hailed for being both modern and traditional. It is also notable for how it seamlessly flows into the surrounding nature. The golf course offers plenty of variety both in shot options and visual scenery. The diverse holes are accented by dramatic changes in color and texture throughout the landscape. Water comes into play frequently and there are a number of strategically placed sand traps. Golfers are presented with a myriad of different ways to play each hole, which means thoughtful strategy is a necessity. The golf course's large, undulating greens also make proper club selection essential.

Tees and bunkers
Tee makers had not been moved for t least a week. We hit almost all of our tee shots outside the teeing area. Bunkers were horrible. They had not been groomed for several days. I played both the Links and the Raven in past few days and both were the same.
My go to beach course
Best course on beach. Great lay out, staff and conditions. A fair price and good value.
Enjoyable course
Really enjoyed playing the Raven again. course conditions were good. The only thing that needs attention is their cart paths which are in some instances are bad. Best to get to the fairway as soon as possible, but it doesn’t really take away from the enjoyablity of the course itself.
Challenging but fun
Very windy when we played - may have to try it again when we come back to the area.
Highly recommended
One of my favorites in Destin. Had a great time. Excellent condition
Good Vacation course
People friendly and accommodating. Course is good. Fun layout.
Nice day on the course
Th Raven is in very good condition for February. Greens rolled well, tee boxes in good shape, fairways were good for this time of year. Played at 7:10 so pace was not in issue. Will play again in the near future.
Fun course, greatvlayout
Excellent day of golf. Course was awesome, cart girls the best ever..
Thx for a great day
