Tough Track

Great course, but target golf. Lots of water and narrow fairways. Needs to be 50% off any time greens are punched/sanded. Great views of harbor

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!!

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!
