Raven at Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort

Golf cart paths need repaving, many ruts in the concrete. Golf cart old and break barely worked very worn. Pace of play slow, with group in front not keeping up with group in front of them. No staff on the course concerned with pace of play.

Really enjoyed playing the course.

Greens were fairly quick, and they ran true and were a delight to putt on.

Fairways in good order - a few bare patches and a few wet holes.

Some players forgot to use the sand to repair their divots which is a pity as fairway conditions generally really good. No need for spikes but one player in the group in front of us had them and scuffed the greens up - not necessary.

Nice layout with lush fairways and large greens that are receptive to good shots; only negative were greens could be faster altho lack of rain may prevent cutting greens too short.

Very nice people, good golf course and beautiful place to play.

I suspect they are overseeing as greens need to be cut but what a great layout.

The course has a great layout and has been very well maintained in the past. I was really disappointed in the course conditions, particularly the greens. For what they charge I would expect greens that aren’t 20% weeds, and one green was 4 paces from the flag to the rough in 3 directions. I’ve never seen a green that narrow.

Raven in decent condition, but starting to show signs of neglect. Baytowne in terrible shape, greens close to being lost and may need to be replaced if someone doesn’t get on top of situation.

Course is a great layout and fairways/bunkers were in great shape. Pace of play was slow.

Disappointed in the greens, which were top dressed with sand and was told, when I asked about it, that they are always that way. Tees were good in good shape either.

Beautiful course

They should really tell you at booking that they sanded the greens the night prior, and maybe not charge full pop when it’s not 100%

Other then that great track, wish I could of experienced the greens

Really good shape with nice greens. Definitely will be back.

Fairways OK. Greens so-so.

Tee Boxes-Terrible.. This is a $30.00 golf course

and not worth it even at that price..

My son and I played the Raven believing that since it was significantly more expensive than the other courses in the Sandestin resort it would be in better condition. Not the case. The holes on the greens were in goat ranch condition. One employee told me that they cut new holes every other day. No way that is true. I do not understand how golf course operators can charge full price when their course is in a compromised condition other than they just can. Keep your money for a nice meal or a fishing trip. Don't spend it here.

We were a twosome behind a fivesome. They appeared to be members. They never offered to let us play through even though they hit two or three shots before we could tee off on par 4s and par 5s. We finally skipped a par 3 to get around them. They appeared to be irritated when we passed them and hollered something as we drove by. Not sure what they said. We saw a marshal on the first hole and never saw another one so we could not ask them to deal with the situation.

Most of the bunkers we not well maintained. We played fairly early in the morning, and they did not appear to have been worked that morning.

Second time playing the course. Had a bad experience each time. Will not play again.
