Over 7.5 miles of beach and bay front, we are continually ranked as offering the most beautiful beaches in the world!

Open in 1995, Burnt Pine was rated the third best new resort course in America by Golf Digest and ninth best overall course in Florida by Miami Herald. The Raven golf course, which opened in March 2000, was named “Best New Course of 2000” by Florida Golf News. All courses are owned and operated by Sandestin. The Golf Academy. The game of golf is really three games in one. The swing, the shot, and the score. We help our students develop a personalized and fundamentally sound swing by using motor imprinting techniques that can be done anywhere. We train our students to play the many and varied shots that good golf requires. Our instruction offerings include private and small group formats for players of all skill levels. We also offer golf retreats and special clinics and we can customize our programs to fit any group requirements. The Tennis Center includes 2 natural grass courts, 3 hard courts, 9 hydrogrid clay courts, and a full-service clubhouse. Sandestin is the only facility in Northwest Florida to host professional and world-class events 10 of the past 12 years and has been consistently ranked as one of the top 50 tennis resorts in the country by Tennis Magazine since 1996.
