Always love playing The Links. The greens are in great condition. The course was slow after the morning rain. The only problem I have is the cart paths need some work.

No Club House

Just a pro shop and a small outdoor place to grab a beer. Kinda like a halfway house.

But the course was very good.

Best of the Sandestin courses

Have played other Sandestin courses (Baytowne & Links) but Raven is the best of the three.7:30 Played early tee time (7:30) and we played in 3 1/2 hours. Holes are challenging but fair and the water although present on a lot of holes doesn't seem to be as much of a problem than at Links or Baytowne. Conditions were great and speed of greens was not super-fast but not slow either. Only complaint I have is that it's difficult to distinguish tees as the markers for silver and white look similar. Not always able to get on at a decent price but if you can, Raven is worth it.

Good course, bad pace of play

I have played the course many times over the past several years, but was disappointed with the pace of play. A course Marshall monitoring the pace would help.

Course is a great layout and in good shape

Excellent Layout

Very good condition for a February round. Greens were a bit slow. Pace of play was fantastic. Finished round in less than 3 hours, on a Saturday morning. Some challenging holes, but a fair layout. Would definitely recommend this course and will play again.

Nice Course

I enjoyed the course. Many picturesque holes. The only negative was the condition of the bunkers. Not much sand - low depth and compact. It is Florida - sand is abundant everywhere!

Good Value/Good Course

Challenging course where water comes into play on most of the holes so bring extra golf balls. Tees and fairways are in excellent condition for February. Greens were in great shape, but they were slow. We'll play this course a few more times as you can't beat the layout/conditions.
