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.

Great conditions, sanded greens

Course is in very good condition, did not expect sanded greens - pretty much unplayable for putting. Still had a very good round.

Good Course but a little disjointed layout

Good course in great condition given the recent plugging and top dressing which was disclosed when booking. Staff was excellent. Layout is a little disjointed with some long drives between green to next tee.

Torn on this...

Course was in good shape....except the greens and fairways had been punched. Putting was a crapshoot. I had no idea of this until I was paying....and of course there was no reduction of the fees. Any mother time I’d be happy with the course. Staff were top notch!!!

The Raven is a beautiful golf course.

I gave the 5 star rating even though they had just aerated the course. I knew this when I booked my tee time so I knew what to expect. Of course the greens were a little bumpy but playable. I’m looking forward to playing it again once it’s back to normal.
