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.

Bring a Strong Driver
Had a great time, greens were being sanded, so not “perfect”, but all else was. Realize they gotta do it.
Staff greathotter than blazes, but to be expected in July in Florida. Some bold par fours. I hit a fair to middlin’ driver and there were a few holes par fours i still had work to do to reach, 18 comes right to mind. Ripped a driver, five hybrid which I thought was perfect. Green side bunker short left. Most courses I play I only his hybrid/3-4 irons off the tee unless a par five, used them plenty today.
Design is fun, all kinds of different shots to be had, and between four of us, we had them all. Fairway great, rough not too punishing, good pace. Will be back.

Make time to play this course!
Great course with lots of distance & challenge for any golfer. Pace of play was steady and we finished 18 holes in about 4 hrs. Starter Jerry gave us insight & lots of information to make our round very enjoyable. Cart refreshments were available and priced fairly. All in all a wonderful way to spend a Sunday morning playing an awesome golf course!

Excellent, even in the Rain.
Teed off with another single in the rain for the first 7 holes. Stayed under my umbrella and kept the grips dry. The course was in great shape, rough only for carts, but that’s no big deal. Greens were true and quick only slowed by the rain. Avoided one wet spot on a green due to rain but other then that i have only good things to say.

Awesome Course
I always try to play Raven when in town. My only “complaint” is that residual sand from either aeration or simple top dressing was present on the greens. They rolled pretty smooth, but seemed slow.

Yea
Course was in great shape. The pace of play was the fastest I’ve ever had. We were on #13 before we ran into our first group and that was at the 2 hour mark. Even after running into the group in front we still finished in about 3:30.

Didn’t play
This website is deceiving !! When I booked it said 7/09 but after I paid it was scheduled for 7/10 and there was no way to stop the payment.. I called the number on the confirmation but no answer!! So I paid for 2 and did not get to play

Hot Day. Nice Course
Staff in the pro shop was a bit friendlier today. Starter was nice enough. Got paired with a single & a father daughter combo. Everyone was nice.
Course was still wet, but at least we got to go 90* rule on the fairways. Greens rolled true & were in good condition. Worth the money over the Links & Baytowne courses.
