Raven Golf Club at Sandestin


Raven Golf Club at Sandestin

Destin, Florida

Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort is one of the best resorts in the fabulous Florida panhandle.  They have four championship courses on the grounds and have hosted professional tournaments as well as contributed to the Destin area being a “Top 10 Golf Destination” for decades.  I played the Raven course in 2007.




The course was great.  One thing I love is that none of the holes are on top of one another.  You feel very isolated when on the course.  I played the front nine with a very nice family of four who weren’t the best golfers but still had a great time.  I shot a very rough 44.  Then I hit the back and went on a par run.  I pared the first 8 holes on the back before THREE-PUTTING the 18th green!  How frustrating.  Still, I’m not complaining about a 37 on the back of a championship course.  The key (as it usually is) for me was hitting fairways.  I was 7 of 7 on the back.  I also hit 6 of 9 greens, and the three I did miss were close enough for me to putt so I was 3 out of 3 on up & downs.
