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.

Fun course. Slow play a problem
The course was in great shape. Greens were soft. Twosome got stuck behind a slow threesome and almost ran out of daylight to finish. The Marshall asked them to speed up or let us play through to which they did not. Called to get a Marshall back out to help us move along and I was told everyone went home for the day. Overall it was a 6 hour round due to this group in front.
Good Day
I took my two sons-in-law who are “okay” golfers and I am now a short-hitting-find-the-fairway golfer.
We had a very good time on a course that has a nice design and flow. We played the white tees and that worked well.
I certainly give it a thumbs up for all but the most discerning golfers.
We are so pleased that you enjoyed your time at Raven at Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort. We look forward to seeing you on the course soon for another 5-star experience!
the Raven
I found the staff very friendly and helpful. I was somewhat disappointed the condition of the greens. They were a bit bumpy from recent work. Fairways and tee boxes were in good condition. My major issue is with the pace of play. According to the timer on the GPS display we completed the first 9 in 2 hours 5 minutes. When we got to the snack shack at 10 tee there was a backup. The group ahead of us had gone through the group in front of them. The group we were now behind was extremely slow. Some times they took more than on shot off the tee box, just because they didn't like the first one. When we finished the round according the the GPS timer we were 55 minutes behind pace of play. During the entire back 9 we never saw a marshal to rectify the slow play. Our tee time was 12:10 and we finished at 4:55. Much too slow a back 9 to make the day enjoyable. I hope that this is an isolated incident and the marshals will be more prevalent the next time I am in the area.

Great day, aggressive ranger
According to the in cart ipad map, we were at most 7mins off their expected pace of play at any point. However, the ranger harassed and followed us for four holes saying we were 25-40 minutes off pace. Just unnecessary in an otherwise awesome day!

Marshall w/attitude
Greens had been punched within the last week or so, wish I had known when booking. We had a marshall try to push us at the turn, where the snack and beverage stand is-didn't appreciate it given we were under two hours at that point. Other than that, no complaints and would definitely play it again.

Worth the trip
If you’re staying on 30a it’s worth the drive to play here. If you’re staying in Destin, it’s worth the price. Beautiful course. People are great. Amenities are what you’d expect at a private course. It’s a real treat to play.
