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.

A real gem
Doing work on number 10, now. Otherwise in great shape
Really enjoyable course
The day started foggy for the first 5 holes. For me the course is just really enjoyable. The greens are quick and true. The fairways are green and well maintained. And the layout is great. The pace of play was 3 hours. How can the round not be enjoyable?
Raven Jan. 24
The course was in excellent condition for being January. The greens accepted good shots and rolled well. Whenever I play here, I know it will be in good shape
Really enjoyable course
Pretty good pace of play -4 hours. The only real waiting was on the par 3's. Fairways had a lot of divots in the landing areas but 99% were filled in. Inexplicably I did not land in a divot all day. To me the greens were great. They were a lot quicker than Baytown and they really rolled smooth and true. The course has some really challenging holes. We had about 5 holes of a light to heavy drizzle but it was a good day for golf.
Nice course & beautiful day
They paired me up with 3 other singles. The weather was great, the course was very nice, and the company was wonderful
