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.

Course was great service was lacking

The course was in good shape. When you consider the recent storms that came through the conditions were exceptional. The check-in was fast and easy. The beverage cart was timely; we saw her 3 times. Unfortunately, the golf bag attendants were not helpful at all. 1st there was no one working the bag drop. After the round Jacob and Chase rather talk to each other than help my wife and I with clubs (no offer to clean the club heads and no offer to carry the bags to the bag drop.) if it wasn’t for Michelle (beverage cart), I’d given staff friendliness/ service a zero. For a course like Raven charges service should be better.

Absolutely Beautiful

Course was in great shape for it being played in the Arizona summer. It also did not feel like an Arizona course. It felt like I was playing on the east coast.

Good day to play

The course was in great shape and even caught a break from the weather.. The only issue during my visit was the golf cart. The first one given to me started to die so it had to be replaced on the turn. However, the next cart I received steering linkage was possibly broken or disconnected making it very difficult to steer.

Excellent experience

The course is in great shape. The staff was wonderful from the time that we got out of the car to the time that we got done with the round. Everyone was smiling and very friendly. We got a bite to eat afterwards, and the restaurant was outstanding. The food was excellent. Their service was excellent. Great job.

Too hot.

The fairways were in great shape but the greens were punched a couple weeks ago and a bit bumpy making it difficult to read the greens. It was also a brutally hot day with no breeze to make it bearable.

Overall great experience

I played at 11:15 so it was HOT! That being said, the course fairways and tees were in outstanding condition, the greens were very grainy and a little slow but still in very nice shape. The only negative on course conditions were the bunkers. They looked nice but under a 1/16 inch of sand they were as hard as bricks!

To top it off (in the nice category) we were not held up one time all day! I think we played in well under 4 hours!
