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.

Nice course
Course was nice given all the rain. Pace was slower than I expected for a light tee sheet but overall not terrible.
Water Water
Nice layout. When I played it was cart path only because they had lots of rain. That makes it less enjoyable. Very well maintained.

Hot!
My only complaint of the course is there was no water whatsoever on the course. The course doesn’t go back to the clubhouse at 9 either. There were beverage carts but we only saw them twice. It was 109 with the heat index. This may be due to Covid but I’m not sure. Other than this I love the Raven and will go back again soon.
We are so pleased that you enjoyed your time at Raven at Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort. Your feedback is important to us and we will share it with management. We look forward to seeing you on the course soon for another 5-star experience!

Very unfriendly staff
Out of town, and met a friend that has just moved into the area to play. I didn't have a collard shirt, due to not having to have one at any course for at least 8 years, but had a very nice pull over and the man at the counter took my money ( which by the way was over priced by at least 20 bucks) and then told me that I had to have a collard shirt that we didn't allow plain t-shirts on our course. Being completely caught off guard, I ask if he could make an exception due to me being out of town, and he said he could but he wasn't.( even the lady working with him was disappointed by his actions)
Thank you for leaving us a review. We always welcome feedback for improvement. We are sorry to hear your experience was anything short of 5 stars, but we hope you will give us another try in the future. Thank you for choosing Raven at Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort.

Great course
As a local, I appreciate having quite a few courses at my fingertips. Enter Raven at Sandestin. It is close to home; I was at the clubhouse in under five minutes. Check in was easy and staff was very friendly. Starter was also friendly and had me join a threesome; the guys in the group were quite nice. As for the course, we played 16B today. Greens were under aeration as you’d expect in August. Staff informed me but I still had a great time. Tee boxes are well kept, fairways were manageable - still challenging but not heartbreaking. Truly enjoyed the course; I will return!
Thank you for your review. We will pass along your positive experience to our team at Raven at Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort. We look forward to seeing you again soon.

Great course
The course had just been aerated, hence the discount in pricing compared to normal, but still a tremendous course. The staff was very inviting and would love to play it again.

Okay
I would rate this course higher because the layout is fantastic and it could be really nice. However, the greens were punched recently and it was still the same price (and I was not told beforehand that the course would be in this condition). Try something else if you are looking to play out here, not worth the risk and $100+!
We appreciate you taking the time to review the course and rate us. We are going to pass on your feedback to the team. Thanks for visiting Raven at Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort, and we hope to see you again in the future.
Lots of fun
I really enjoyed the layout. You have to think your way around this course. You can take driver off most tee boxs, however, you better have nerves of steel. Greens rolled true, not slow, not fast, and very well manicured. I’ll be back. Best value in the area…and I’ve played them all.

Excellent Vacation Course
Played while vacationing about 20 minutes away in Watercolor. Course was in excellent condition, greens were in great shape. Staff/starter were friendly, check in was easy, practice area stocked with free range balls for a good warmup (not that one needs much "warming" up in July!). Beverage cart came by frequently. Overall, zero complaints and would certainly recommend. Island par 3 6th hole was a highlight.

Sanded greens….
I would start with saying this is a nice course. I would also say the greens were sanded, the driving range was closed when we arrived for maintenance. Also, at the turn there was no food available and the bathrooms were locked. The only thing that was mentioned when we arrived at the course was the driving range was closed for maintenance. Never did someone mention about the greens or the bathroom closed, nor were there any discounts for any of the above mentioned. Furthermore the only available military discount is for active duty only. Where I do believe this is a good thought of a discount, but what about the retirees that gave up the majority of their adult lives to defend this great country that we live in!
Thank you so much for leaving us with your feedback. We value our customer experience, so your review is important to us. Please know the current conditions are by no means the standard we strive to achieve. We will continue to work towards a 5-star experience and we hope to see you back!
