Sandestin begins restoration of The Raven with eye toward bringing pro golf back to the resort
When you’re a major year-round resort, there’s never a good time to shut down your main tournament course for renovations and restoration. Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort in Destin, Fla., is planning to do just that with The Raven Golf Club for the first nine months of 2027. In part, the work reflects the normal wear and tear associated with a 26-year-old course. But the restoration of The Raven also sheds light on Sandestin’s ambitious plans to bring professional golf back to Northwest Florida. The Raven previously hosted the PGA Tour Champions and the Korn Ferry Tour, and Rick Hileman, executive director of golf at Sandestin, views the course enhancements as a first step toward landing a professional men’s or women’s tournament. “We are a perfect fit and a perfect location for a pro tour,” Hileman said. “We have a 2,400-acre resort with a multiple array of accommodations. We go from the beach to the bay. You have four great golf courses, tennis, shopping, dining. It’s somewhere a family can come, watch some great golf, then have plenty to do in the evenings or when they’re not watching golf.” In a sign of how seriously Sandestin is taking this project,

Pace football beats Navarre to set up district title showdown with Niceville
Pace head coach Vance Smith knows it's human nature for his team to look ahead. Once the Patriots road game against Niceville was moved off Oct. 9 and to Nov. 4 because of Hurricane Isaias , it turned a clash where the winner would likely win the District 1-5A title into a de-facto district championship. Everything since returning from the storm would build to that moment if Pace did its job. After a 29-12 win at Tate on Oct. 23 and a 46-0 win at Navarre on Thursday, that job is complete. Now, it's time to turn to Niceville and clinching a third straight district title. "Myself and the coaching staff have done everything we can to get them to focus on tonight and what's ahead," Smith said. "And now that that's complete, we can turn our full attention to Niceville." Thursday wasn't just intended to be a stop on the way to the biggest game of the season. Smith is never satisfied and there's always work to be done, even against an overmatched opponent. In the win at Tate last week, he thought his team needed to come out faster and that the offensive line struggled to get push
