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.

Course in decent shape, everything else not so much
Have played this course now three times. After checking in I went to the range where I had to wait about fifteen minutes for one of the eight bays to open up. The range balls had not been washed as the majority of them were muddy. They just pick the range and put them back into the baskets. They had more than half the range closed (see pictures). With two courses (Raven and Baytowne) going, only having 8 spots to hit from on the range is an incredibly dumb move. The bathroom in the pro shop was out of order too. The course itself was in good shape and pace of play was good for a resort course.

Love the course
We played on a damp day and had the place to ourselves. The layout is great and the conditions were very solid. We greatly enjoyed the round and look forward to returning.
