Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort

We had a BLAST at Raven. From the moment we pulled into the parking lot until the time we left, everything was top notch. We had two juniors playing, and the staff was extremely accommodating and showed they were excited to have us. The course was in great condition. It’s challenging, for sure…but it’s still forgiving (at times). Hole 6 was great! Shoutout to Tiger for all the help. (If there was one negative it would be that the course was packed and pace of play was way too slow. Waiting on every hole and almost a full five hours for the round. That’s too long, but it is what it is.) Overall, Raven was an awesome experience!

Six people on a green and eight people on a tee box...why not. Having your twelve friends wait on the last green while you putt, finish your drinks, and take selfies..all good. Don't play in the afternoon unless you feel like crawling through your round (the $8 pitchers probably aren't helping) and cancelling your dinner reservations. Still a great course, especially at Sandestin, but temper your expectations and be prepared to wait from the moment you arrive until the moment you leave.

I play a lot of golf, I come from a small town with greens that everyone says are slow. But I've never experienced greens like the ones we played at Baytowne. The course was in beautiful shape, could have been a great day, but the greens were unplayable. They were worse than shag carpet, you couldn't hit a putt hard enough no matter what you did. Finally had to start taking a 2 putt rule, would have loved to give a good review, but if greens are similar I will not play here again.

this course is ok, but not what is should be for sure. It's old and it's time for a refresh and a renovation plan. Lots of rough tee boxes, fairways, and bad cart paths.

Greens were soft and slow.

The course has great potential but needs work.

Much better courses in the area, for similar price.

Clubhouse and driving range, look like something from the 80's. Range has no grass and the range balls, were old and rough It's time, for Sandestin to remodel this course. .

Played the Links course last year so decided to try out the Raven this year. Loved the course and layout. Conditions were nice but greens were a little slow. Not that I mind, just takes a few holes to get used to it. Only negative was the slow pace of play. Had a bigger group in front of us and had to wait on basically every hole. Tee time was at 1:50, got started around 2 and finished just before 7. Would definitely play the course again though!

Course layout was fine, greens very slow. No ranger to keep pace of play. Waited on every hole. 5plus hour round.

Back nine much nicer then front. Greens were all pretty nice but very slow. Need better signage to find course and pro shop. All and all worth playing.

Customer service could have been a whole lot better at the beginning between the greeters and behind the counter. Starter was great, fairways were great, rough wasn't crazy, greens were probably the slowest greens I have ever played. But great weather.

I was new to Sandestin golf, and all staffs are very kind to guide me. It was rainy day, but I could fininsh almost 16 holes. One thing I would like to mention is the course layout is a bit confused (cross the road, and here and there etc). So, new players like me should be careful to keep on tract. Nice price, nice cousre, nice people!!! I want to play Raven and Links course next visit.

Overall, this was a very pleasant round of golf. We got caught behind a very slow group but were able to pass them at the turn as they stopped for food and drinks. As noted by other reviewers, the greens were too slow for a quality course like this one.
