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.

Nice course

The course is always in very good shape. Put some non alcoholic beer on the cart please and educate the nice lady about what that is. Some of the traps could use a little sand but really this course is very enjoyable.

Solid Choice for public golf

3rd time playing Raven. On course staff very friendly and helpful. The guys in the pro shop not friendly at all, which I’ve noticed every time I’ve played here. Starter was great. Surprised outside snack shop was closed. For $89, good deal. Course in good shape, especially the greens this time of the year

The course was an excellent shape! Played from the back tees and it was manageable, Nice landing areas and the greens were receptive with not too much penalty for a stray shot! Very beautiful and scenic! Played at 7:30 a.m. and had a very pleasant day! If you haven't played this course you might want to!

Gem of a golf course

This is a top tier course in the valley. You get what you pay for. Not a brown spot anywhere. From the tee box, fairways, greens, first/second cut of rough, everything is immaculate. Grass range is nice. The chipping and putting greens are kept well. Staff is friendly, facilities are kept up. Will play here again.

Outstanding course just South of Phoenix

Outstanding course that is in superb condition. Absolutely loved the course layout. Only critique was they need better sand in the bunkers, they were more rock than sand.

Not worth it

Round took over 5 hours. Kids behind us were staff were rude to us. No marshal present. 5 hour round on a Monday afternoon is ridiculous.

Great Shape, Slow Play

I get that it's hard to maintain pace of play when your course is completely sold out, but there wasn't any on course attendant to monitor the slow play. Front nine was fine, about 2 hours for a foursome. Back nine ground to a halt taking 2:40 to complete.
