Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort

First time playing The Raven. Very playable and enjoyable course with nice variety of holes. Better golfers can be challenged from the back tees. Tee boxes and greens were in good condition, traps can use work, most need more sand. Pace of play was excellent, staff were pleasant. There is a small outside seating area for drinks and food, no grill room. Highly recommend for a visiting, vacationing golfer.

Booked this course because of the excellent waterfront views, but had concerns about the narrow fairways. Couldn’t have been more pleased with my round. The narrow fairways and hazards required thinking out the hole, and felt very rewarding when the strategy and club selection chosen paid off. The holes off the water were great and reminded us that we could look forward to hitting the beach after the round.

Opt for the 5 iron over the driver and you’ll have a great time.

Hole 9 and 14 are the standouts.

Tee's and faireays in pretty hood condition, but the greens disappointing.

Course is not bad but greens are horrible. They definitely do not invest in the maintenance of the greens and it shows. Give yourself and your friends some grace on gimmes because you will earn it

The greens were in horrible shape and after talking to some of the staff, it’s been that way for a few years. Poorly cut and so many different types of grass. It also looked like they haven’t moved the cups in days. I will never play that course again. I’ve played the Raven before and enjoyed it but because of the Baytown experience I will not go back to either course.

This is an $80 course at best. I guess the price is more related to the tourist location rather than value of course.

Loved the course, grouped with 3 others and we had a great time. The course is challenging but fun. Would definitely play here again if I ever come back to San Dest.

Nice layout-bring plenty of golf balls if you are having a bad day. There is a lot of water on the course.

A Course Marshall would help with the pace of play

A sign indicating where the clubhouse is located would be helpful

The course has a great layout and the staff was very friendly and helpful. The greens were slow, bumpy and needed some care. Give the greens a little help and this will be an excellent course to play.

This course is challenging enough, but the weather made it more. Even with all the rain delays, this was one of the most enjoyable rounds. The course is very well maintained and the staff are super enjoyable. 5 stars

Fun course to play. Plenty of nice views of the bay. Staff very nice.

Greens just redone so very slow but perfect course otherwise.
