Very nice course with above average winter conditions. Played in 4 hours. Greens fast and in nice shape. Recommend you try this course.

Course is soaked from overwatering

10 holes of the course is virtually unplayable due to overwatering. It’s slushy everywhere. 8 holes across the highway were dry and not in great shape but at least playable

Chilly Round!

Played on 12/31 teeing off just after lunch; was pretty chilly. Not my first time playing here. The course was in good shape, but the greens were very slow. That said, it is head and shoulders in better condition than Baytowne (avoid Baytowne). The courses at Sandestin have so much potential, just wish they would put in the effort to make the greens and traps nice. We were staying on property, so it is very convenient to play here. Would recommend if staying on property at Sandestin and looking for convenience.

Scenic layout with good conditions

Nice scenic layout. Resort course that gets a lot of play. Good conditions. Greens were rolling ok and true. Not that fast. Pace of play was about 4:20hrs. Recommend if you get a deal at $99.00 and below.

Good course, wish more golfers would fix pitch marks

I have played the Raven now about five times. This was the coldest I have ever played it, but it was at least sunny. The pace of play was great. Overall course conditions despite the greens were good. The greens were not in bad shape or anything, it was simply disappointing to see all the un-repaired pitch marks on the greens (not the courses fault and common at public courses). When I entered the round in GHIN afterwards the yardages/slope & ratings within GHIN did not match what was on the course's scorecard. Wish the course would address this.

Beautiful Day

The Links should be a much better course for what they charge. There were several holes where it was evident they had water problems. The bathrooms on hole 6 are filthy and full of bugs.

The golf course was in great shape, and even though the starter said it was slow play, I finished and right about four hours.

Links Course

Greens were terribly long and cuts varied from green to green. Drink cart stopped at 2 pm as we finished front nine. Clubhouse was closed at 4 after the round so no post round souvenirs or restrooms.

Nice course, nice staff, nice round

Played in the early afternoon on a Wednesday. Staff at bag drop, pro shop and starter were all friendly and good-humored. Tee boxes and fairways are in good condition. Bunkers a little wet generally, with a small puddle of standing water found in only one. Greens were in good condition as well, but unfixed ball marks and residue occasionally caused some bouncy putts. Nothing too unusual, though. A very enjoyable challenge with plenty of water and a fabulous island green. Would be happy to play again!
