Fun course.

Was a 40 minute drive from Rosemary beach area. Got a great deal on Groupon. Lots of water to deal with. Cart girls were frequent. 18 holes in 4 hours.

Raven

The layout of the course is really good with some easy par4s and tough par 5s. Golf shop staff was very friendly and started us off on the right foot. The course conditions were not great at all. You walk across the bridge to the driving range and it is loaded with crab grass. The greens are unfortunately well past being able to recover. The original mini dwarf Bermuda grass has been overtaken by the 419 fairway grass. The greens are a mess and need to be rebuilt.

Baytowne_2026

Challenging and a fun course. And the fairway was decent. The only downside was the condition of the greens on many holes. I would play there again.

Good course, but greens are in bad shape

Courses was great to play but the greens were not in good shape. Also, has no water available on the course.

Great track, just no range time.

Raven was fun as usual but weren’t allowed to hit balls on the range because we were waiting for the guys to finish mowing. 7:27 tee time and we showed up an hour early, kind of disappointed after we drive all that way down for the week and deal with that kind of stuff. Lots of sand on greens but otherwise great shape as it has been in years past.

Baytowne

Course was in good shape overall, but the greens were longer than normal and putting was extremely slow. Bunkers also needed attention, the sand was packed down petty hard. Overall the course was in good shape though. Staff was very friendly and helpful, great experience.

Great Course, bumpy greens

The layout of the course is great, fairways were in good condition and not too narrow. The greens had been aerated and after the heavy rain were very bumpy.

Good -- Almost Great

Tee boxes and fairways were in great shape; scenic layout; the greens were ragged with sand; play was slow.

Don’t Bother

The greens are among the worst I have ever played; beat up, covered with sand, virtually unplayable @ $100 to play?!

Beautiful Course!

This course was so lovely & organized! It felt like we were the only ones on the course since no other golfers were ahead or behind us due to the t times being well managed. I highly recommend this course as it was well priced & very well kept!
