Great round at The Raven

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.

Meh

Fairways were great but greens are in rough shape… we tee’d off at 7:30 but restaurant/bar didn’t open till 930 — Overpriced for sure but views were nice

Greens In Tough Shape

The greens simply did not match the prestige branding promoted by the club, nor were they befitting of a $175 price. The holes appeared to have been cut many, many days prior to our round. As one of my playing partners said, “golf holes shouldn’t have hair on them.”

Greens were no good. Very slow due to not cutting and being taken care of. Fairway fine, played well to the greens then who knew how they were going to react. Bumpy, slow and not fun to putt.

Raven

I am a member here and the course is in great shape. The greens were top dressed a few days ago, so there was some sand on them. But they putted nicely and rolled true.

Reliable Vacation Course

Greens were a little bumpy but not super noticeable until the sun came out. Spongy fairways. Some of the traps aren’t very fluffy. Respectable course if you’re trying to get a round in before heading to the beach without breaking the bank.

The greens were terrible

Was told the raven greens were in the best shape since plugging them in early may (5weeks) they were bad with a ton of sand on them,. Course has a good layout but not worth the money

Nice Golf Course

I always enjoyed playing here. Some of the greens needs TLC, but it's still fun to play here and work on your game. The Pro Shop Staff are friendly and professional, but best of all the starter named, Robert were very accommodating on golfers.... The bag boys were awesome, they were always working hard to please golfers.
