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.

Carts were cart path only but it worked out okay.

We were very pleased with the conditions and layout of the course. Beautiful course, reasonably quiet, imaginative layout. No reason to avoid this course now that post over seeding has kicked in.

We played 4 other courses in the area for the first time and this was solidly our favorite.

Great course for couples

Played the Raven twice in the last week and both rounds were very enjoyable. The course is still cart path only after overseeing until Nov17/23 but we still played both rounds in under 4 hours. Course is in great shape and fun to play for all levels of golfer skills. A couple of greens are a bit rough thanks to the damage done by some idiot on an ATV but they should be fully repaired in a week or so with some TLC Fromm the staff.

The Jewel Of Phoenix

Feeling Better

With reference to "not worth the money" and after we got home from the boys trip we had a discussion with the Course about our experience and have since got the satisfaction we needed, thanks to course Management. Understand that courses need to do renno's and that requires construction that occurs over a period of time. We will probably go back (when construction is completed), next time we are down there and see what the new/updated course layout is like fully grown in.

Why tear it up ???

I just can’t understand WHY you would take a course like this in almost Perfect condition and Tear it Up just to ‘plant overseed’ ??? I lived in Texas for years and they overseed when the weather eventually turns, but they don’t close the course, turn off the water, tear up the grass or Any of the things these Phoenix courses do ?? Just LEAVE IT ALONE - it’s just about Perfect !!!!

No information

It’s a shame that such a high rated facility doesn’t post on their or Golf now website that the greens have been aired and only the back 9 is available. To charge what they did especially at an 11:00am tee time at 111 degrees I would expect a better price and an update to the maintenance on the course. The saving grace was the course and the people working for the course in all aspects that allowed me to play and enjoy myself especially it being my first time there. I saw other golfers walk away mad and went to play at other courses.
