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.

Incredible bang for the buck!

This was my second time at the Raven Golf Club and it was an incredible experience! The course was in terrific shape for late July when most courses are torched. Staff was all amazing, cart service was as well. We will definitely be back to play it again soon!

Summer Treat

I don't pay winter prices for Phoenix's premium golf courses, so I don't get to play them often. Jumped on the chance to play Raven for $65. Of course, the round was very inexpensive largely because the greens were punched and sanded and largely unplayable. But, otherwise, the course was beautiful and in great condition. Even with the poor greens, I enjoyed the round at the discount rate

Great course, bad bunkers

This could have been a 10/10 rating, as the grassed areas were all in terrific shape. The bunkers however were very light on sand so it was almost impossible to get under it to get out. Fun layout though with some room to miss off the tee.

A Treat

Normally wouldn't pay the price for this premium course, but for $65, who could complain. The low price was surely because the greens were punched. Putting was totally impossible. Worst I've ever played on. But the fairways, tee boxes, and rough, are all in great condition. It is a sweet layout and was a lot of fun.

We have now played a few courses this July and this was by far the best conditions for this time of year. Fairways were still green and lush, only complaint was they punched the greens, but everything else we fantastic and the price was right!

Great condition in July

The course was in great condition for July. Loved the layout. The pro shop staff was great. The ranger wasn’t really enforcing pace of play but instead came by 3 times to apologize for the slow group that was a couple holes ahead of our group. He gave the impression that he was going to do something about it, but it never materialized. Overall it was an enjoyable day.

Great Golf Course with Terrible Bunkers

I have played numerous other golf courses in the Phoenix area this summer and Raven is better condition than most others. After saying this I have been playing Raven for 15 years and the bunkers are still terrible and always have been. The couple I was in have no sand and were like concrete. Stay out of the bunkers and you will think it’s a great golf course. People pay $275 in the winter to play this course with terrible bunkers. Just don’t get it!

Great course

First time at this course. Check in was easy and friendly staff throughout the course. Free range balls for warm up and good practice facilities. Greens were a bit bumpy but consistent throughout. For early summer, the fairways were nicely groomed and no dry patches. If a sprayer, you may find the rough dry. Wide fairways gave lots of forgiveness. Would absolutely return to this course.
