Kish said that as an example of the ultimate Raven service, golfers at its Arizona clubs in hot weather are given iced mango-scented towels. The Troon nine was closed in March. Several holes of Troon, including the signature island par- three third hole, will be retained. It will get new tees, and will be the sixth hole in the new rotation. Jones' plans for the Raven actually consist of 19 holes.
Plans are to take one out of play each day.
The 16th holes are in the corridor which was the fourth hole of Troon, an extremely narrow par four. The Links was Sandestin's original course, opened in 1973, and designed by Tom Jackson along the waterfront of the Choctawhatchee Bay. Walking is allowed. Burnt Pine, designed by Rees Jones, brother of the Raven architect, was opened in 1994. Each of the three existing courses has its own clubhouse and pro shop.
