Greens horrible shape

The over all course was nice but greens in horrible shape and they should offer discounts during aeration period. They were extremely bumpy

Also had to walk across a bridge with all your gear to access the driving range!

Friendly staff and great course layout. They had just aerated the greens, so they were slow, bumpy, and slow.

Friendly staff and great course layout. They had just aerated the greens, so they were slow and bumpy. It had rained a lot the day prior, so it was cart path only and the range was closed. Navigating between a few holes on the back can be tricky for a first time player. They could improve signage. Overall, I really enjoyed the course as each hole is unique in its own way. With my coupon, I only paid $50. So the price was right for the conditions. I’m not sure if it worth the usual $119. I have booked it again for next week at the $81.99 rate. Conditions should be better. I’m looking forward to playing it again.

Raven is best choice at Sandestin Resort

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.

Nice Day @ Baytowne

Few tee boxes need help. Otherwise course was in nice shape. They had aerated which I knew in advance. Slow greens. However, you’ve got to do the work to maintain course.

Greens always slow and Bumpy

Some of the tees were in poor condition plus don’t bring your putter; bring a mallet or sledge hammer! The greens are terrible and I am surprised this course gets as much play as it does!

The fairways were in good shape and the staff was friendly, courteous and professional!

Lastly, leave putter at home and bring a mallet or

Sledgehammer!!

Fun course

Challenging shorter course with trouble if you don't control your ball flight. 7 or 8 holes on the Chochtawatchee Bay....great views. Gotten pricey like all courses in Walton County.

Well Done

Course is well worth the money! Have not seen this course with this much grass in a few years….. greens were true, and green ( a little slow, but not complaining). Well done!

Needs maintenance

Tee boxes are not in good shape.

No ball washers and limited garbage cans.

No attendant at club drop off.

No rangers keeping pace of play.

Cracks (huge) in concrete all over.

Only benefit of course is the location/views.

Course needs to be maintained and professional at this price point.

Baytowne Course

i have not played this course in 6-months due to the greens being in such poor condition the previous times I played this course. I was hoping they would be in better condition but I was very disappointed. Bumpy, incredibly slow, and so many holes where pin locations were previously that have not grown back. If spending the money to golf at San Destin, I would not recommend playing the Baytowne course. Everything else about Baytowne was great (fairways, layout, tee boxes, staff), but it seems like the greens are just not important.
