Raven Golf Club - Phoenix
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.

Amazing course, even in the summer. Pure fairways, solid greens. Definitely worth checking out in the summer before peak season pricing kicks in
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!
Thanks for your fantastic feedback! We’re thrilled you enjoyed the course and appreciated our team's efforts in the heat. We understand the importance of maintaining the course, and we’ll continue to encourage everyone to help keep it in top shape. We hope to see you back soon for another great round!

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.
Thank you for the fantastic review! We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed the course. Our team works hard to ensure a great experience, even in the summer heat. We can't wait to welcome you back for another round!
Hot!!!
Raven Golf Club was in great condition overall, and the fairways and greens were well maintained. The only significant disappointment was the bunkers. They were extremely hard and, in many areas, wet and muddy, making them inconsistent and difficult to play from. Improving the bunker conditions would greatly enhance what is otherwise a very enjoyable golf course. Our round was very hot and I wish we would have had more opportunities for wet towels.
Thank you for your fantastic review! We’re thrilled you enjoyed the course overall. Your feedback on the bunkers and towel availability is invaluable and will be shared with our team to enhance your future visits. We look forward to welcoming you back for another round!
Thank you for your fantastic feedback! We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed the condition of the course. We appreciate your insights your comments will help us enhance the experience for everyone. Looking forward to welcoming you back soon!

Raven Rocks
Raven was in exceptional shape for being late June. Better than We Ko Pa Suegaro and overall best golf I played this year. Only Grayhawk tops this course IMO. Undulations of the fairways and challenging greens made for an enjoyable experience. Highly recommend the Raven Ka-KAWWWWW!!!
We’re thrilled to hear you had such a fantastic experience at Raven! It’s great to know the course conditions exceeded your expectations. Thank you for the high recommendation—your support means a lot to us. Can’t wait to welcome you back for another round!
Immaculate Condition
This course was in immaculate condition! Absolutely Beautiful! Finished under 4 hours, pace was great.
Thanks for your fantastic review, brandibling! We're thrilled you enjoyed the beautiful conditions and great pace of play. We aim to provide a top-notch experience for all our guests. Hope to see you back on the course soon!
Good course and layout. Condition was mixed, tees and fairways were good, greens and bunkers were not up to par. The greens were on the slow side and bumpy. Bunkers ranged from mud to having sand but very compact. The cart kids were not very interested in customer service. This course also has a very odd cart policy were they will not give you a key for your cart until your exact tee time.
Thank you for your feedback, captkg! We're glad you enjoyed the course layout and will address your concerns regarding the greens, bunkers, and service. Your insights help us improve the experience for everyone. We hope to see you again soon for a better round!
Great Day
when you play the Raven you expect the best and that is what I received. The staff was very helpful . As for the course the fairways were in excellent shape same with the greens. Bunkers had white sand in them. Cannot go wrong playing here and buying their summer package and sharing with a friend , Treat yourself to a golf course that is well maintained.
Thank you for your fantastic review, Steve! We’re thrilled to hear you enjoyed your experience and found the course in excellent condition. Our team takes pride in maintaining the course for our guests. We look forward to welcoming you back for another round soon!
Raven
Probably haven't played here for 15 years, took friend that I've been playing golf around the valley. Both of us will return and soon.
We’re thrilled to hear you and your friend enjoyed your time with us! It’s great to see familiar faces returning after so long. We can’t wait to welcome you both back for another round soon!
Thank you for your fantastic rating, Steve1878900! We're glad you enjoyed your experience and appreciate your support. We look forward to welcoming you back soon!
Absolutely beautiful course
On every tee you look out on to a well manicured fairway, they are pretty wide and lots of contours to make it interesting. Big deep traps. I enjoyed the course a lot. The service is great and polite. The only thing I will warn you about is the greens. They are hard and fast, like putting on a counter top. You don't have to worry about fixing pivots as i doubt you will leave any. We didn't.
I love the layout it keeps your attention on every hole. Like I said it is a pretty course and I plan to play it again.
Thanks for the fantastic review, Hackle52! We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed the course layout and service. Your feedback on the greens is appreciated and will help us continue to enhance the experience. We look forward to welcoming you back for another round soon!
Great Layout
I was paired up with three great guys. The course was in very good condition, especially considering we're in transition here in the desert. Fairways were in nice shape, tee boxes as well. The greens were recently aerated but rolled fast and true. Staff was great. This course is oasis in the desert with fairways surrounded by tapp pine trees with several elevation changes and undulating greens. It's a fantastic deal this time of year.
Thank you, sinkster! We're thrilled to hear you had such a positive experience on the course. It's great to know our efforts in maintenance and customer service made your day enjoyable. We hope to see you back for another round soon!
Thank you for the fantastic rating! We appreciate your support and are glad you had a great experience with us. We look forward to welcoming you back soon!
