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 Value, Very Fun

This course shouldn't exist in the desert but it does and it's a blast. I played one of the last days before the snowbird price hike, $69 to ride 18. This included a bag of range balls. The staff was friendly, the whole practice facility was great. Overall the course was in really good condition and the layout is challenging and fun. As all the other five star reviews illustrate, this is certainly a course worth checking out.

Great classic course in the city

Very nice course and even better for the lower hotdeal price I got. Very nice layout, challenging at time but not overwhelming. Clubhouse was great, music which is not something I normally notice was great here and most definitely aiming for those rocking in the 70s and 80s. Free range balls, noice warm up area

Try it, you’ll like it.

Very nice layout and condition was very good. Greens we’re a little slow but we’re in great shape. Staff was very helpful and friendly. A special thanks to cart girl Morgan. She went above and beyond her duties. When some food wasn’t ready when we made the turn we saw Morgan around the 12 hole and she went back to the restaurant, picked up our food and delivered to us on the course. Thank you Morgan, bag boys, pro shop staff and greens keeper and their staff. Definitely a course you should play.

Disappointed

I had played this course years ago and remember it being a top course, in good condition and great service. This was not the case yesterday. Let’s start with the good - water coolers on every 3 holes, beverage cart showed up 4-5 times in the round, good pace of play. Now the bad - showed up at 8:30am on a Monday and no range balls were available for warmup, greens were still recovering from being aerated, carts were in poor condition, practice facility was in poor condition, over priced for this time of year, one hole was basically closed for bunker renovation. Won’t be coming back anytime soon.

Nice course - very slow pace

Course was in good shape. Amenities not as nice as expected for resort type course.

Staff was friendly. Never saw a course Marshall, hence the nearly 5 hour round in the heat.

Really need someone to Marshall pace on hot days.

Aced the 11th

The course was in great shape it is a challenging course for sure but I made the 11th hole look easy. We measured 162 yards to the pin so I grab a 7 iron and strike it true! I knew I had a good line but appeared to be short at first. Started walking off the box and stopped in my tracks as I saw the ball land and start rolling....rolling and drop right in the cup!! My first hole in one!! I'm still in shock what a day!! Cheers!!
