The course is nice but read the fine print first.

This past weekend was the second time in less than a month that my husband and I have gone to Destin and scheduled golf. Playing the Raven was a first for us. We called and were told we could make all reservations online, which was easy and convenient; however, nobody told us that traveling with one golf bag (easier to travel with) is frowned upon and we shouldn’t say anything or they could make us leave. Nobody told us before we paid premium prices for both of us to play that if someone wanted to say something, we could have to leave or that we had to stay in groups of 4 at all times, but a single gentleman riding the wrong way on the course jumped right in behind us, pushing our group and holding up the foursome behind us and nothing was ever said. We are no pros, just trying to have a fun and relaxing vacation, but nobody else out there was a pro either. Make it make sense! If it’s going to have different rules than the other two courses there, someone should probably explain that when you call (so you can bring two bags) or when you check in before they take your money. Is it a nice course, absolutely, but their lack of information and personality make it not worth it. Disappointing to end your vacay like that.

Unreal Views

This course is super under rated. The views alone are worth the day and the course has an awesome layout. Maybe the only dig is the greens are a little slower than other destin courses but this course is 🔥.

Links Golf

I got to the course 30 minutes early & the Pro Shop said I could go ahead & I did. The course was in excellent shape & the pace of play was good as I played in less than 3 hours. I played all 3 courses & I enjoyed the Links the best. Thanks

Course Review

The course was in good shape but hard for a 75 year old. I’m a 15 handicap but it was long & tough. It was hard to see which tees were white. I enjoyed playing it because it was a challenge. There weren’t any Marshall’s out on the course & we had a twosome that were slow & on 1 hole hit 6 balls off the tee. We finally played through & we finished quicker. It was fun.
