More great golf moments at Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort

September 08, 2012 7:00 PM

As one of the most complete, four-season golf destinations in North America, and with top recognition from leading golf magazines and reviewers around the world, Sandestin is a must-play for golfers.?

?This is the only Florida resort that provides the variety, the level of golf, and leisure options from the beach to the bay,??said Brooke Scholl with Sandestin?s marketing and public relations.

Within the gates of Sandestin, the resort offers four award-winning courses designed by three world-renowned architects. Rees and Robert Trent Jones Jr. have adjacent layouts in The Burnt Pine Club and the Raven Golf Club. A pair of Tom Jackson masterpieces, Baytowne Golf Club and The Links Course, with beautiful water views, round out the fine quality and variety.

The Raven Golf Club at Sandestin, home in 2006 and 2007 to a stop on the PGA Champions Tour, is masterfully carved through the marshes, wetlands and pine trees of Sandestin. Jones crafted this unique and visually stunning par 71 layout into what he calls "a true modern traditional." Voted "Best New Course in Florida in 2000" by Florida Golf News, hailed with 4 1/2 stars by Golf Digest in 2006 and 2008, and named ?No. 14 in Florida? by Golf Magazine, Raven is a must play during your stay. Raven Golf Club plays from 5,060 to 6,931 yards and offers four sets of tees. The Raven is a natural wonder that presents drama and strategy on every tee. Guests are presented with a myriad of exciting shot options while experiencing dramatic changes in color and texture throughout the course.?

The Baytowne Golf Club at Sandestin gives guests the best of both worlds, with landing areas that invite guests to unleash the driver, and greens that reward a strategically placed approach shot. Extensively renovated in the summer of 2005 by original course architect Jackson, this course was hailed three times Golf Digest's ?Places to Play? with 4 ? stars and boasts some of the only elevation changes in the area. The front nine takes you to the edge of the Choctawhatchee Bay, while the back nine gives you a glimpse of the Gulf of Mexico and the white sand beaches of Sandestin.

Baytowne is as challenging from the championship tees as it is forgiving from the forward ones. Jackson created a heavily bunkered, pine tree-lined, 3,300-yard front nine, while taking advantage of the land?s elevation changes to create some of the most spectacular views of the property on the back nine. Jackson calls every hole at the Baytowne Golf Club a favorite ?because each one has a personality all its own.? Baytowne plays to a par 71, and ranges from 3,002 to 6,804 yards.

The Links Course at Sandestin is the ultimate in risk-reward golf, providing the most spectacular views on the Emerald Coast. With five holes that run along the Choctawhatchee Bay, guests are treated to a links style golf outing like no other on the Gulf Coast. Jackson designed this winding layout against the backdrop of the Baytowne Marina and the Choctawhatchee Bay over 25 years ago, and it remains consistently ranked as one of the most challenging and fun courses in Florida. Every day is a different test at The Links depending on which way the Choctawhatchee Bay wind is blowing. The Links Course plays from 4,969 to 6,710-yards and has four sets of tees.

The Golf Club of Sandestin is a golfer's paradise, and provides you with countless member benefits, including unlimited access to Baytowne and Links ($0 greens fee) and Raven ($10 greens fee), discounted cart and greens fees, advance reservation privileges, unlimited no-fee use of the practice facilities, access to exclusive member tournaments and offerings at both Resort Golf Shops, special member rates for PGA instruction and charge privileges at all courses.
