The Raven Experience at Sandestin Golf Special

By Blair Howard, About.com Guide

The Raven Experience at Sandestin, Florida, offers an outstanding opportunity, not just to experience all that is the Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort, but also for you to play on either of two championship layouts designed by “the Jones brothers.” For less than $200 per night, you’ll choose a round each day either at the Raven Golf Club, designed by master architect, Robert Trent Jones Jr., a layout that hosted the PGA Champions Tour in 2006 and 2007. Or you can tee it up at the Burnt Pine Golf Club, a semi-private Rees Jones designed course that’s available only to guests of the Sandestin Golf Resort. Even better, if you so desire, you’ll also enjoy complimentary replay rounds booked at the course the day of play.

The Raven Experience at Sandesting accommodations include LeCiel or Village of Baytowne Wharf standard hotel rooms, two bedroom Grand Sandestin or three bedroom Lakeside Villas.

Rates for the Raven Experience range from $182 - $219 from 3/8/2012 through 8/10/1012. Note: the rates do not include resort fees and taxes. These rates are per person per night, based on Bayside 3 Bedroom accommodations with a two night stay, 4 players per unit, prior to Resort Fees and Taxes. Tee times at Burnt Pine Golf Club are only available before 8:00 each morning or after 1:00 each afternoon.

Here’s What’s on Offer:

Finally, I think this is an offer worth serious consideration, because if you’ve never played, or even visited, the Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort, you’re in for a treat, no doubt about it. Sandestin is one of my all-time favorite places to stay on the Florida Panhandle. Check out my full review of the resort and the Emerald Coast of Florida upon which it sits.
