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.

Nice Course, Bad Bunkers

Neat layout, fairly forgiving off the tee. Greens were really good, had good speed, but not too receptive to approach shots. Only complaint from our group was the bunkers. Hopefully the course is in the middle of re-sanding them, because the traps were terrible. It's the only thing dragging the rating to 3 stars. Electric carts, but same as at Legend Trail, for the price ($140US) I really expected GPS on the cart.

Best value in the Valley!

Our experience at The Raven was great! The greens were soft, smooth and quick. The overall condition of the course was 10 out of 10. I paid $90 with a hot deal and would have gladly paid $150 based on the quality/condition of the course. We will be back!

Great Place

The staff was outstanding! Very professional, accommodating, friendly making you feel right at home! Course was in great shape. Play was a bit slow but was partially due to the need to keep carts on the cart path due to this time of year grounds keeping. Other than that, great value for the money and will go back!

One to definitely play

Just opened post reseeding and the course conditions were great, greens just a tad slow as expected but true roll, room for minor errors off the tee, fun & challenging for all level golfers. May be a bit more difficult for your lady golfer playing forward tees, although mine is very competitive. We found the staff to be exceptionally friendly. We will definitely play again and highly recommend.

Good Course..

Perfect day to get out.. Recently overseeded, but didn’t affect anything. Maybe the greens could have been a bit faster but that is just my preference . Some of the traps were a little crusty but otherwise good course in good shape..

A Hit Or Miss Experience

I have played Raven in the past and it was one of my favorite courses in the Phoenix area. What I did not realize was how much that was dependent on the course conditions. I recently played and given the price of nearly $100 I assumed the course was in good shape.

I was disappointed to arrive and see that the course grass was almost completely dead in preparation for over-seeding,. It is possible to have a good round during over-seed prep if the greens and tee-boxes remain in good condition. We found the greens to be rock hard and many of the teeboxes to be completely under construction with all of the different tee colors pushed all the way forward.

I normally love this course and would have been fine with the round today if we hadn't being near peak rates. $40-50 would have been appropriate, not $100.

Wait until over-seed is done.

Overseeding

Charging the same price as usual while overseeding is a scam. There is no notice either that they were overseeding. Be honest to your customers.

Nice Track

Pace of play was good thanks to a good ranger. Somewhat tight fairways with lots of trees both sides throughout the course. Not really a signature hole with most of the holes very similar but still fun to play. Will be back for the right place!
