About

Raven Golf Club - Phoenix features a one-of-a-kind round of desert golf. Its fairways are lined with Georgia pine, and its greens have more tiers than one - the kind of golf course that only Gary Panks and David Graham could imagine, and a can't-miss on your next golf trip to Phoenix. Over the ages, the golf club has garnered all sorts of recognition.

The layout features plush, rolling fairways framed by thousands of mature trees, as well as vistas of rugged desert mountains and the Phoenix skyline. The golf course's flexible, strategic design offers a challenge for all players, and the variety it presents will give you the opportunity to use nearly every club in your bag.

That said, the Raven Golf Club - Phoenix might be the perfect place to turn a business trip to Phoenix into a golf trip to Phoenix - it's handy to Sky Harbor Airport and downtown Phoenix.

First time

Was the first time playing this course after hearing about it from others. It didn’t disappoint, course was in nice shape course layout made you think. Staff was friendly I would definitely recommend playing it before over seed starting October 5th.

Great course!

This is a staple course for me when I visit Phoenix. I really like the layout and think that the course offers challenge or easy, depending on the tees selected. Fantastic shape and the greens roll firm and true. Love the staff here! Very friendly and helpful in all ways. Pricing in the hot summer is reasonable but out of town pricing in the winter gets a bit steep, IMHO. I get it though, it's when they make the money to run the course the rest of the year with limited play at 105+ degrees. It was 112 the day I played and I felt fine. Hydrate heavily in the 48 hours leading up to your round in the heat. My son played with me and suffered a great deal because he did not.

Good condition for summer

This would have been a 5 star review except for the fact the maintenance crew was dethaching the green collars and we had to play in and across that on several holes. That wasn’t fun. Other than this the course was in great shape and the collars are probably excellent this week.

I wish I lived closer

It took me about an hour to get there but it was totally worth the trip! Greens and fairways were in great shape. They looked like it was fall! I am currently playing the Golf Digest top 20 in Arizona and this course is definitely in the running to be my #1!

Great Course

Raven is an excellent course. While I have played it in the past when it was under construction this course was beautiful today. It was in the best condition I’ve ever seen any course during the summer in Arizona.

Very nice course. I can see why people pay to play this course. Everyone working is very nice even being out in 110 degree weather. The course-tee boxes excellent. The fairways-great shape for the season, I just wish people would replace their divots. The greens-I loved them, they rolled very true once again come on people fix your divots! It should be an honor to repair your divots if you hit the green. Really enjoyed the course but unfortunately it’s usually out of my price range so I probably will not be able to return soon unless I get another Hot Deal. Thank you for a great day. Also my playing partners Chris and Jack had a wonderful day. Go Frogs!

Back 9 Closed for Aeration

Only became aware at checkin that the front 9 was to be played twice due to aeration efforts on back 9. Wish I knew before hand to schedule a different course for the day. Greens were slow; fairways sparse in places; sand traps fair but frequently wet. Pace was very good (almost no one on the course). Driving range surface as also sparse. Would recommend elsewhere until after their maintenance schedule (to include front 9 next).

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're sorry to hear you were disappointed to learn at check-in that the front nine would be played twice due to our aerification schedule.

We do our best to communicate maintenance closures and course conditions through our website and booking channels in advance. Unfortunately, when reservations are made through some third-party providers, those notifications don't always appear during the booking process. We understand how frustrating that can be and appreciate you bringing it to our attention.

Aerification is an essential part of maintaining healthy playing surfaces, and while it does create temporary disruptions, it allows us to deliver the best possible conditions throughout the year. We appreciate your patience during this process and hope you'll consider visiting us again once the course has fully recovered.

Nice course. 4 stars due to closure of back 9

Enjoyed the round and the folks I played with but disappointed that the tee time did not advise that the back 9 was closed and we would play the front 9 twice. Still got in 18 and the pace was good but I woud appreciate more transparency when booking the tee time.

Thank you for your feedback, Robert. We're glad to hear you enjoyed your round and the pace of play.

We sincerely apologize that you weren't aware the back nine was closed and that the front nine would be played twice. We do post course alerts and maintenance information on our website during the booking process; however, when reservations are made through third-party providers such as GolfNow, that information doesn't always carry over.

We appreciate you bringing this to our attention. Clear communication is important to us, and we'll continue looking for ways to better inform guests booking through all reservation channels. Thank you for playing with us, and we hope to welcome you back again soon.

Excellent course conditions.

Great course, staff and round time. Unbelievable that course is this playable and beautiful in the middle of the hot summer. You are provided plenty of range balls, ice and mango cooling towels as well. Play it and hopefully you have as much fun as we did.
