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.

Generally Good Conditions

Had not played here in many years. Course had nice variety of hole layouts. Tees were in good shape, as were the fairways, though some aeration was present. Greens were receptive and ran medium speed. Sand traps looked full (fortunately I escaped them all … this time). Our threesome finished play in 3:40. Drinking water (cold) could be found on every other hole. Cold mango towels were refreshing. Large, mature trees helped to cool playing conditions on a hot day.

Help yourself feel the shot

This course is somewhat challenging, yet if you stay in the shot and play to your true strengths you can score here!

Fairways are not level anywhere, but you can use that!

Great course in Phoenix

Loved finding hidden gems! Lots of desert courses in the valley and the Raven was total opposite. Will definitely come back!

Great Course

Had a high noon tee time that was met with super hot weather but did not keep me away from this gem of a golf course that I have played a few times now. If you want to be wowed with super nice course conditions for this time of season then this is the place. From check in to greeting and end of round by outside staff there was no better service at a public golf course then here. Tee boxes were well kept, level and green grass. Fairways and through the greens were mowed just right and grass was very green and full. Greens were smooth and rolled perfect. Pace of play was not a problem as a 2 ball we breezed through in 3hrs and 20. If you are looking for a non traditional desert course lined with pine trees in tip top condition right now then this is your destination!

Greens run smooth and course is gorgeous

Was a little worried about the high price but would say this is up there with troon and some of the other nicer courses in the area. Worth playing.

Good Track

We had a great time at the Raven. Weather was great, staff very friendly, course in very good condition. One minor issue, our cart had a burn hole in the drivers seat. I'm a senior golfer and for me the course was a little long, a white yellow combo tees would have helped. We will go back.
