Raven Golf Club - Miramar Beach, Florida

Good course. Good fairways. However bunkers are poorly maintained and full of larger rocks. The cart path is crumbling away in multiple places. Would rate higher but for the $100+ price tag per person. Not worth it.

Great course with a challenging set up. Many different tee options for every level of golfer. The price is a little high, but the course was for the most part taken care of very well. I would play here again, but for the price I may look at trying some other courses in the area.

Not sure why this isn't over a 4.5 but very solid course. Played almost all of the Destin courses and this one is nice. Very tough if you play from the tips. Alot of long water carrying tee shots. Great condition!

Absolutely gorgeous track; very packed this time of year but a great course, irrigation system is on point. Be early for your T-time because they’ll put you down as a no show and the starter is firm but will get you off if possible. Greens are fast for this area and I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this course.

Beautiful course and layout, I’ve found the conditioning of the course when I played this year to be as poor as I can recall (especially the greens). Tee boxes were in poor shape and needing some TLC. Has the look of a high volume course. I look forward to playing the Raven every year when visiting the area. On the pricey side.

With the exception of Rick in the office, the entire staff encountered at this facility would be classified as feckless. I asked the starter a question about the mens combo tee box and he could not answer the question. Worse yet he made some kind of story up. I figured it out after the first hole. He also said that the greens are near perfect on the course and nothing could be further from the truth. The holes on every single hole were highly worn out and ragged. New holes must not have been cut for a very long time. I don't care if it was yesterday. All 18 holes on the green were in terrible condition to the point it certainly impacted the results of our game. I paid $350 for my son and I to play this course and I expect better. I have been playing the other two tracks at this facility and this was the first time playing Raven. The other two are not a whole lot better but they are much less expensive. Do yourself a favor folks. Play Seascape, it sucks but it's half the price or just go fishing. Don't waste your money at the Raven in Sandestin.

Eight of us spent 4 days in Destin playing golf. We played Indian Bayou, Regatta Bay, Kelly Plantation and The Raven. The Raven was definitely the worst course that we played. The facilities were awful!!! The bag drop personnel were basically nonexistent and unfriendly/ unhelpful! The clubhouse/resturant was one of the worst I have ever seen! We paid $161 to play a golf course that was probably worth $75. I will never play this golf course again and would not recommend it to anyone else. On top of all this, it took 5 hours to play and the staff was unapologetic. There are lots of good alternatives…I would not recommend playing this course!!!!!!’

I play "The Raven" every time I come to Santa Rosa and they still charge a premium to play, however it has continued to decline in the quality of the course. The greens need to be rolled and cut since the ball would bounce when you putted. The cups have not been moved in many days since the edge of the cups are deformed and the grass around the cup was actually dead.

The grass around the greens has not been cut in over a week and the bunkers need a full rack-over.

The T-box markers were faded and needed painted - just simple maintenance that would be noticed.if leadership would survey the course by simply driving around and checking the sime things.

Practice range only had large buckets of balls placed on the range, but you had to go and get them yourself with no means to carry to your practice location. No defined practice locations - simply just people trying to find a place to warm-up.

Bottom line is was evident they are is a cost cutting mode with no desire to be a premier place to play golf.

I provided the resource in the clubhouse this feedback and I had asked him to please share with the grounds crew and I felt it would not be done.

I considered "The Raven" as one of my favorite course in the Destin area.
