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.

Beautiful Course

First course in Florida I’ve ever played and it was absolutely stunning. Exceeded all expectations. Staff was very helpful and friendly. Would definitely recommend playing if you’re in the Destin/Miramar Beach area.

Will be good soon

Course was very nice. Fairways and tee boxes were great. Only problem was aeration on all the greens and a couple bad ones. Going to take a couple weeks for them to get to rolling good. Wasn’t even worth putting anything close - no pure rolls. Just putt and pray.

Staff was friendly except for Marshall who suggested we speed up or potentially skip a hole (because a threesome in three carts had caught up to our foursome in two) when we were only seven minutes behind nine holes in. Other than that, solid experience- would come back in future if prices stay around $100.

Great round

Was very nice despite the aeration. Fun course. Super hot out but plenty of places to hide in the shade. No water on the course so bring plenty

Great Course but they don’t know how to take care of tif eagle. Way way too much grass on their slow slow greens.

Expecting More

The important stuff first. The course was beautiful and well maintained. The fairways were like carpets. Only criticism of course itself was that the greens are very inconsistent. One green lightening fast and the next shaggy slow.

Now the issues as I saw them, these may not matter to others. 1. In the pro shop it was explained that we could buy drinks from bar to start then, even though we don’t come back to clubhouse, we could purchase drinks near the turn at snack shack. We teed off at 1:50 reached shack at 3:35 to find it closed.

2. The mentioned drink cart came by when we’re on 6 then once more while on 16. Too long in between in 90deg Florida heat. If this is the norm the club should supply water coolers at tee boxes.

3. Club guys, and pro shop personnel were friendly and accommodating. Not so much for the starter who was curt and supplied little info about the course.

Final summary: Had a great day overall, course was demanding but very playable. If you can get a deal or care less about money this is a good round. I don’t see this as a $150 course or experience. $79 or $89 yes.

Fun Track somewhat challenging

Very nice layout, somewhat challenging. Good course conditions although the greens are quite slow and very grainy for my liking. Grass was healthy though and I understand they are getting ready to punch plus with the heat. I believe they get a lot of rounds out there so that may be the reason they keep them longer.

Practice area is not great, slim pickings on balls when I got there. The putting green had some weeds on it also. Staff seemed very pleasant the starter was very knowledgeable.

Note: the course design is a bit weird around 6 & 7 - 15 & 16 it just doesn’t flow very well there. We got a little mixed up as to we’re to go and I’m sure we weren’t the first ones.

Good course, greens were dissapointing

I played Raven a few years ago and remembered it to be in a little bit better shape than it is now. It's a nice course and has a challenging but fun layout. The fairways and rough were in good shape. Bunkers were pretty bad, not a lot of sand but it has been raining a lot so not much they can do. The greens were pretty disappointing. Very slow, a lot of brown spots, just not what I would typically expect for a $150+ course. I would play here again during a less rainy season; would probably be in better shape.
