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.

Winter conditions

Course was fine for winter conditions. Played it before it started to green up. Greens are slow. This location really needs to spruce up its pro shop and snack area. It could be really great Perhaps open in the evenings for locals

Nice Course don't nickel and dime me.

We enjoyed the Raven especially carts with GPS-enabled course maps and distances to the hole. Hate courses that have bag guys wanting tips everywhere. Just a personal pet pieve.

Help

My wife fell and hit her head 1 hour before the tee time. I ended up taking her to the hospital. I tried to cancel 1 of the 3times booked but the app wouldn’t allow it. They put 2 players with by friends so no loss of money. I have been with you for several years. Would appreciate a credit for one round. Thank you in advance

Great round

I play The Raven whenever I am in town. The course was very busy but pace of play was 4 hour round. The course is in great shape best I have seen lately. Fairways are greening, bunkers well kept and greens were at decent pace for winter golf. Highly recommend this course

Plenty of better courses in the area

The Sandestin courses have gone down hill every year.

The staff inside and out are just downright rude and should not work with the public. You work at a sub bar course and have a private course attitude.

The starter lady should not be working in the public as she was yelling at people.

Bag guys are awesome

Food at the turn was closed and the cart girl was only around once.

Kate the cart girl made the miserable experience a bit better.

Spend your money down the street where the appreciate golfers.

All three courses need some love or sell them to someone that will buy effort into maintaining them.

Links has the best views down in the area yet the course conditions are dismal at best.

Staff can help or hurt and here they obviously hire sub par people who don’t want to be working.

I would play again

Course is looking a bit run down, that being said it is off season but some of the bridges and things look like they could use a little TLC. Range was very busy and most of the balls were covered in dirt and not cleaned.Paired with two great guys and had a lovely day. We did see the cart lady many times during the round so that was great.

Good shape for this time of year.

Just a few days ago there was 6” of snow on the course. The crew had it in great shape; only drawback was the 90* rule. But better than “cart path only”. Always get paired up with great people. Best golf course hot dogs around!
