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.

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!!

First hole on one!

I've always loved this course I live a block away. It is a challenging course for sure. I made the 11th hole look easy, we measured 162 yards to the pin I grab a 7 iron and strike a good one. Started to look short so I was walking off the box and saw it slowly rolling toward the pin and drop right in the cup!! First ever hole in one one ar one of my favorite courses. What a day!! Cheers!!

Great course conditions for this time of the year.

Best greens I've played all summer. Better than the Troon courses I played. Fairways and tee boxes were also in great condition - really couldn't ask for better conditions for this time of year.

Had a slow 4 some in front of us for the first 9. The marshall pushed them along a bit and we ended at a 4.5 hour round.

Raven was great!

Thoroughly enjoyed the course ( again ). The afternoon tee time availabilities were plentiful and inexpensive. If you can stay hydrated and wear a hat, it's a great round!

Slow day

Didn't see any rangers out there, but it took us 4 hours and 50 minutes to play. Overall the course is in decent condition for the season, the greens were a bit shaggy; slow and didn't roll out.

Bad Bunkers everything else great

Raven deserves a 5 star but they lose a star for one reason and one reason alone the BUNKERS! Some of them are fine but many including green side that are hard packed desert with stones that damage clubs. Some you can even see blacktop pavement under the rocky sand. They just don’t fit in with the rest of Raven, tees, fairways, greens, staff, location, smell of pine trees! All a 5 star. Fix the bunkers PLEASE!!!

Gorgeous

This course is exceptional! I’m REALLY hoping they use reclaimed water because there’s such a tremendous amount of green on this course. Can’t keep that up during a drought.

Best Course for the money

I played Greyhawk the week before for $119. This course was 2.5 times better than Greyhawk. The bunkers need work.

Great course & staff

The Raven is a great course, just a little unforgiving if you're not on the fairway. Even though we were stuck behind a seriously slow group...and a little frustrating, it was a great time. We will definitely return.
