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.

Very enjoyable round

It was a very enjoyable round. I liked the type of course that it is, with the pine trees lining the fairways. I thought it was a very well groomed track. We played our round in 4 hours and were only waiting a few times, for a minute or so. The beverage cart gal was very nice. I would definitely recommend this course!

Great shape. Slow back nine due to twilight

Enjoyed the Raven. It had been a while. It would have been a 5 star experience but the pace went south in the afternoon. Wish they would marshall better then but understand it's not the focus time of the day.

Raven

Great golf course. The pace of play was good on the front 9, however the back 9 was terribly slow. I wonder if they teed off a couple of groups on the back that didn’t play the front, so I knew that’s what happened I would not come back.

A bit of a drive from Scottsdale but turned out just fine. Will come back on any future golf trips. A nice break from the full on desert style courses. Course in great condition and very well maintained. Very green and lush fairways and green.

Course was nice pace of play was terrible. No ranger to assist?

I paid through GolfNow and couldn’t use my Arcis card for rate reduction which wasn’t good either.

Mildly disappointed

I came in with really high expectations, but left a little disappointed. It's a great layout and friendly off the T. I was really disappointed in the green side bunkers and the large amounts of rocks and lack of sand. No I'm not referring to the waiste areas. I guess I just hoped for better based on price and reputation.
