About

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.

Great golf course with excellent playing conditions.

Recommend playing the course to those who are avid golfers. Not for the novice or first time players as conditions are difficult.

I've played this course many times and its always been great. This time it was in horrible shape. Very disappointing. Looked like there hasn't been enough course workers around to take care of the course. Traps looked like they hadn't been raked in a week or so, Mowed areas were shaggy. Don't know what was going on. Played at Regatta Bay the next day and it was in great shape for November.

Rocky greens

Frustrated with all the small stones on the greens. I guess they came from the sand traps. They were large enough to divert your putt if you did not sweep them off your path.
