Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort

The greens were not very good. Conditions were subpar. Was told by marshall to pick up pace and it was because the single paired with us by the course was extremely slow. Nothing we could do, but we took the hit.

Personally, I won’t play there again.

They were several greens that were spotty. Maintenance had tried to sand over them to cover the imperfections. The placement near the ocean is what really makes the course worth playing. The ocean views were really nice! Tight course - not for the errant driver. 🤨

We really enjoyed playing the Links at Sandestin. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the course was beautiful. I’d recommend it to anyone vacationing in the area.

I usually play Kelly Plantation or Regatta Bay when in the area, but wanted to try something different. Glad I did. This was a great course. Fun, challenging, and in immaculate condition. I highly recommend The Raven, and will play it again next time I'm in the Destin area.

The starter allowed another group to go ahead of us; we booked the first two Tee times of the day (2 groups of 3). Although I would not consider those players were not slower than the average pace of play, they definitely played MUCH slower than our pace of play. We waited on them EVERY single hole.

The ranger came by and explained that he told them to pick up the pace or he would split them up and make them play with the women. Extremely RUDE and very offensive comment. When I tried to interject a comment; he said, “You will speak when I am done speaking”. I complained to the Pro Shop after the round. The gentleman taking my complaint smirked the entire time I was talking to him; and responded with “I will let management know”. Not even a simple “I am sorry” which would not cost him a dime!!!

BEAUTIFAL LAYOUT, FAIR PRICE, GOOD PRACTICE FACILITIES.

Play ever June for the last five years and the greens are always incredibly slow.

This is an excellent value convenient to our location. The course was in good shape.

Course was in great shape. The staff was friendly and the greens rolled nicely. Beautiful course with multiple views of the bay. Will definitely be back soon.

Great course and a great day. Pace of play was not too rushed. Course was challenging but more forgiving than I expected. I hit the green on #6 so that made me happy.

I’ve been coming to Destin for over 40 years. Played Baytowne many times. It was in the worst condition I’ve ever seen. Definitely not worth the rate charged. In fairness a local told me that 9 holes of the course is to be closed to accommodate more condos/homes. I would guess the management would not be putting effort or resources into maintaining the course to good condition.

I have played several of the courses and have not been disappointed. Will definitely try to play again.
