About

Holes 18
Type Resort
Par 71
Length 6931 yards
Slope 137
Rating 73.8

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.

The layout is good and enjoyable to play.

I’ve always liked this course. The condition of the course was not great but that could be due to time of year. Many of the tee boxes need leveling.

Great course, fun to play

Just don’t judge this book by the cover. It seems like they pick the grumpiest old men and make them work in the club house to check in people. This happens all the time. Maybe they are just mad that it is a beautiful day and we are golfing and they are just practicing being miserable. No hello, no thank you, no manners. No matter. Starter, cart server and course were great. Maybe you should automate checkin! Pitiful women’s golf clothes selection anyway!

First Time At Raven

This was my first time to play the Raven course. It was damp as it had rained hard the night before. The course was in decent shape for this time of year. The layout was nice for a resort course, but not that difficult. I liked the island green hole. The pace was a bit slow, but not that bad. May have been because I was playing alone and had 2 foursomes ahead of me that I could not pass. I did feel the course was a bit overpriced compared to other courses in Florida and Hilton Head, not to mention my home state of MN.

Hole 18 closed for long term repair without advance notice

Course layout and general conditions were great. EXCEPT for hole 18. Prepaid $125 for the round, but upon checkin was told the final hole was closed for long term repair. They split par 4 hole 16 into 2 short par 3s. I understand the need for repair, but advanced notice and a discounted rate should have occurred.
