It’s always ok

It’s always just ok. Staff is ok, greens were trash but they warned us ahead of time so that’s fine. The course is just always ok but I wouldn’t pay the full amount they ask for. Too many other options.

Used to love this course

We knew they were losing the greens but never thought it was that bad … at least they could keep them cut equally, but there are tufts of longer grass making the ball go anywhere. Also the sand traps are just awful, like the gave up on maintaining them also. At least fairways were good. Pace of play was awful… a foursome 2 groups ahead of us was soooo slow… had to wait on practically every shot! We are here for 5 weeks… definitely not going back…. Which is too bad as it used to be one of my favorite in the area! They lowered their price but still way too expensive for course condition

greens

The fairways were great and rough was good but the greens were the worse i have ever played !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The greens were burnt up very little green grass on them. I should have been refunded my round . No one afford a replay round on the other course next to it was Raven or anything about sorry or nothing. I did learn on thing even high-in courses don't care about customer's that play there just as long as they get greens fees !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not worth the spend

My son and I played the Raven believing that since it was significantly more expensive than the other courses in the Sandestin resort it would be in better condition. Not the case. The holes on the greens were in goat ranch condition. One employee told me that they cut new holes every other day. No way that is true. I do not understand how golf course operators can charge full price when their course is in a compromised condition other than they just can. Keep your money for a nice meal or a fishing trip. Don't spend it here.

Play it Yearly

The course was in good condition. The greens were a little rough. However we selected to play this course instead of higher reviewed courses. The scenery is terrific. I’m sure we’ll play there next year.

This course has horrible greens!

The greens on this course are the worst I have ever played on. We were warned by the staff that they were in bad shape, which was an understatement. They said there was no plan by the ownership to put any money into the course to fix the greens. Golf Now needs to remove this course from their website until they are fixed.
