Needs some attention

Courses layout and the surrounding scenery is fantastic. The greens were very slow and in poor condition. Definitely not a $100+ course.

Very slow and uneven and spicken up

Greens are not in good condition, Very slow and uneven hard to put. You lose shots by putting on those greens. They had lots of spikes from people dragging their feet over the Greens

Course conditions

Course was very nice and everything was well kept the range could’ve been better but it’s the range so I didn’t mind and the putting green was slow and it seemed different than what I’m used to seeing and on the course the greens were not well kept putts were impossible to read and same with the speed I wish the greens were nice would’ve made the course way better but I would still play again .

Horrible greens

Staff was wonderful fairways where top notch and the landscape was beautiful but the reason I’d not recommend this course is because the greens are horrible inconsiderate golfer like two twist on the green with there cleats and up root mountains of grass and leave them behind so if u wanna play who lands closes to the hole without putting this is the course for you. When I asked staff they laughed and said you must of got off Baytown. You would thank the amount of money they charge for a round and how well upkeep the rest of the course is they have a marshal watching for these people

Great Course

One of the best courses I’ve ever played while on vacation. Everything was great and can’t complain about the layout. Although, the greens were running very slow. I understand that they are slow (high grass) to prevent them from burning out. I’m just not used to playing in that type of greens. I kept fixing ball marks that were on my line. Hopefully they can enforce that players fix their ball marks. That’s my only reason for a “4” star rating due to the greens. I definitely recommend this place for anyone visiting the Destin area.

Playable & Enjoyable

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.

Great Course

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.
