Raven at Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort

Course was still recovering from aeration 3 weeks earlier. That said, cups had not been recut in several days and tee boxes were not well cared for in general. Clean cut cups, flat and trim tee boxes, and care of the fringe would help appearances and playability. Need consistent Marshall appearances..

In general, the course was in good shape, and I usually enjoy playing Ravin, but the greens were beginning to heal from aeration but you couldn’t tell by the green fee.

Also, at the first tee box, the Marshall made me share a cart with a rando they paired me up with, because they were ‘running low on carts.’ I had take all my stuff out of the cart they gave me and move it over to his. He said they ran out the day before - which means they chose to overbook anyway. It was a bad experience at a normally good course.

Course layout is great and challenging greens were punched two weeks ago and are in good condition

For the four courses at Sandestin Resort, Raven has always been my favorite. I got a good deal because of aerated greens but they weren’t as bad as I expected at all. Bad conditions, but course still played well. I definitely would recommend this course if you’re in between playing a cheaper round and places like Kelly Plantation or Regatta Bay that have steep prices.

Greens recently aeireated. Good price. SMALL putting green for TWO courses. SMALL driving range for TWO courses..

Course was in amazing condition and very challenging. I highly recommend it to anyone in the area!

Greens were better than expected. Played early and course was on damp side.

Have played this course now three times. After checking in I went to the range where I had to wait about fifteen minutes for one of the eight bays to open up. The range balls had not been washed as the majority of them were muddy. They just pick the range and put them back into the baskets. They had more than half the range closed (see pictures). With two courses (Raven and Baytowne) going, only having 8 spots to hit from on the range is an incredibly dumb move. The bathroom in the pro shop was out of order too. The course itself was in good shape and pace of play was good for a resort course.
