Raven GC

Beautiful layout. Greens were in great shape even though they looked to have been aerated recently. Not convinced it’s completely worth the price in its current condition, could definitely use some tlc but still a beautiful and challenging tract.

Pretty water views on some holes

Bare bones check-in, no club amenities to speak of and poor signage on the course guiding you hole-to-hole was frustrating a few times. But the greens were somewhat maintained and the water views on certain holes were beautiful. The course itself looked a bit tired.

A Tale of Two Cities

Nice layout. Front side went well. However the back side was a different story. Ran into a fivesome on 10. No offer for our twosome to play through. Very frustrating and surprising for a resort course. No ranger in sight. Also, several holes on the back on the other side of the highway not up to the standards of the front side. Overall, a good experience and would recommend. Staff was friendly.

The greens are in poor condition.

The greens are in very poor condition. This is what pulled down my rating. The rest of the course is excellent. The course is overpriced even at Hot Deal level with greens in such poor shape. I hope they are able to recover as we like playing there, but we have no plans of returning until rectified.

Great staff

Overall good course. Players seem to have never heard about letting a group play through.

I would play after 1:00 to miss slow play especially on the back nine.

Needs some love

Aeration rate should be lower ( $59?) ,

Tee boxes need grass. Bunker rakes are scarce. No sand in the jugs on the cart. Nice design. The course just needs a little love to be very good.

Course conditions still need work

Course recently closed for maintenance, looks like they did nothing to address obvious issues needing attention, especially tee boxes,with big bare spots, dirt holes etc

Day at The Links

Course was in decent shape considering it has not been that long since they punched the greens. Very picturesque course views by the bay are great. We played the front 9 in under 2 hours, then on the back 9 it took closer to 3 hours due to 1 group. Would recommend playing the course.
