Robert Trent Jones, Jr., authored a more modern style of golf course than his brother, Rees, on the Sandestin resort. With The Raven Course, he stuck to the existing elements more and routed play along softer lines. The wide fairways are lined with hazards; the greens are massive and undulating. Jones, Jr., built a few all-or-nothing holes, including a 203-yard par 3 that is all carry to an island green. The bunkers are a throwback to Alister MacKenzie's days -- large and irregular shapes that form capes and bays. Each bunker couldn't scream "stay away" louder if it had a sign on i

    Played this course in early February 2016. Winter conditions but very playable. Pace of play was about average. Greens were fair. A great variety of holes with lots of water to make things interesting. Absolutely worth playing if you are in the Destin area.

    Saw quite possibly the best sand shot I've ever seen from A human being on 15. Let me set the scene for you my playing partner has 125 yards to the pin over 2 bunkers to an elevated green, with the pin 3 paces off the front edge. If he goes short, my boy is dead in the water, he pulls out a 9 iron hits a dart to 15 feet and drains the birdie putt. He turns to me and says "get a real job." I got chills.

    Great course. Saw my playing partner hit a 330 yard bomb on hole 18. Probably the best shot I've ever seen.

    One of the three best in the Destin area. Well kept, great design and picturesque. I always make sure this is on our list when we visit Destin,
