Raven at Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort
Rating Snapshot
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.

Raven at Sandestin
Great golf course. Super layout, great staff and well manicured. I would encourage everyone to play this one. I would have given 5 stars but the greens had just been aerated which was disclosed and was understood but it still impacted the pleasure of our rounds.
Thank you for visiting us at Raven at Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort. We appreciate your 4-star rating and review. We hope you join us for another round soon.
Great conditions, sanded greens
Course is in very good condition, did not expect sanded greens - pretty much unplayable for putting. Still had a very good round.

Great course!
Course was beautiful and in great shape. Greens were much slower than I was accustomed too and recently airated but not bad at all. Everything else was perfect!
Thank you so much for the great review. We are glad you had an incredible time, and we hope to see you again soon! Thanks for choosing Raven at Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort.
Good Course but a little disjointed layout
Good course in great condition given the recent plugging and top dressing which was disclosed when booking. Staff was excellent. Layout is a little disjointed with some long drives between green to next tee.

Nice course
Great track. They punched the greens a few days before I played. Teed off on time but had a group in front of us who were several holes behind.

Great Course
Great course and staff. Fairways and greens in great condition. Pace of play was great too. Most courses stack their tee times on top of each other. I never felt rushed.

Very nice
Very nice course. Pace of play was nice. 4 hour round Had a heavy rain night before but still got off path so place drains well. Greens were slow due to recent holes being punched but we knew that during booking. Playing course next to Raven in 2 days and looking forward to it
