Raven at Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort

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.

Beautiful course. Greens were in pretty good shape.

Disclaimer...I play over 100 rounds a year, and I've played all of the US. So my opinion is based on a wide array of courses.

Raven's layout is solid! Loved the mix of holes and the use of the bayous and lakes to shape the course. We had played their Links course 2 days prior, and this was definitely the better track.

They had aerated about 2 weeks prior, but the greens had recovered nicely. Sand in the bunkers was very loose and deep (almost exactly like the local beach sane), but otherwise no big issues with conditions. Tee boxes could use some attention, but that is typical of a high traffic resort course.

Multiple tee box options give every handicap a challenge, so anyone can enjoy this course.

The discounted price (because it was in the 2 week aeration window) was about right. Not sure I'd want to pay the normal rate over other options in that price point. So the price is a little on the high side IMHO.

Beautiful layout. Greens were in great shape even though they looked to have been aerated recently. Not convinced it’s completely worth the price in its current condition, could definitely use some tlc but still a beautiful and challenging tract.

Aeration rate should be lower ( $59?) ,

Tee boxes need grass. Bunker rakes are scarce. No sand in the jugs on the cart. Nice design. The course just needs a little love to be very good.

Loved. Course. My only issue was the fact that course had recently been ariaided. Aside from that. Eveowas excellent

Good day overall, but several groups including us got caught behind a party of 4 that made it clear they were in no hurry.

We spent more time sitting in the cart than golfing during the back 9.

Course was not in the condition you would expect when you pay 150 dollars and up. Greens were what you’d find at your local municipal course. The cups looked like they hadn’t been changed in many days. The sides of the cups were worn so bad they were hardly round anymore. The practice facility was awful and the practice green was full of weeds. The mid round snack shack was closed and the carts need to be upgraded. I wouldn’t recommend this course. There’s plenty to choose from, don’t waste your time and money on this place.

My first time playing Raven Club was a good experience. Staff was very friendly despite how busy it was. Airline lost my clubs so I had to rent a bag. That as super easy to do and the bad had a descent set of Big Bertha clubs to use.

Everything was top notch. The only issue was pace of play. We couldn't take the carts on the fairways because of rain from the night before so that lead to a 5 hour round

We spent $1000 between 4 golfers to play here on vacation. Great course, very beautiful. We were told three times to speed up our play. We weren’t going slow at all. There was no one behind us pressing either, and we could see the people in front of us finishing the hole when we walked up to the tees.

For spending really good money, I feel like we didn’t enjoy our time to the fullest because we were being rushed the whole time. Other than that, the course was beautiful and it was my third time playing there. Doesn’t disappoint!
