An optional Golf Tournament will be held on Saturday afternoon, May 5th at the award-winning Raven Golf Club, home in 2006 and 2007 to the Boeing Championship Ð a stop on the PGA Champions Tour Ð is masterfully carved through the marshes and pine trees of Sandestin Florida Golf Resort. Robert Trent Jones Jr. crafted this unique and visually stunning 6,900-yard par 71 into what he calls "a true modern traditional."

Voted "Best New Course in Florida in 2000" by Florida Golf News, the Raven Golf Club 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.
