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.

Great course, affordable, service is fantastic

You will see many 200 $ plus courses all around the greater Phoenix area and while good, this one at a lower price is just as good. Check it out

Wow, beautiful course!

Finally made it here for the first time. This course is absolutely beautiful. Especially with all the pine trees, made me think I was in the Sierra foothills. This course gets an A+ for maintenance , it is in incredible shape. It is also a challenging layout. Greens and bunkers were in awesome shape. If there was one downside, the pace of play was slow this day, just picked the wrong time to go out. But I would definitely come back.

Best course played summer 2024

Everything about this course was 1st class. Could not ask for better conditions from tee boxes and fairways and greens and sand traps had soft sand . Awesome condition for the course and in Phoenix Az, in August the weather was over cast with few drops of rain to keep things cool as in can be in August in Phx.

Incredible condition

First time playing, have been wanting to for a while. Extremely worth $50+ for an afternoon hot summer round. Fastest greens I’ve seen since sterling grove in April. They rolled so true. Fairways are beautiful. Course is very immaculate for this heat. Overall a very fun round, loved the layout. Nothing too difficult but not boring and simple. Will absolutely be back. Only downfall was i10 traffic after the round lol

Near perfect

The course was near perfect! The only reason it wasn’t perfect is because I was comparing it to itself and majoring of the time you can’t find a blade of grass that is brown, but this summer has been blistering with no relief. The superintendent has always done a spectacular job! Love this course

GOOD DAY ON PLAYING GOLF

The place is awesome!! The price is a little high, but you will not be disappointed. Watch out for hole 1 as there is alot of range balls mixed in if you go left.

Really Dry

I have always loved the Raven and it’s layout. I know that they have been having some water problems lately. They are still maintaining the course as best they can but it is extremely dry and firm.
