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.

Too hot.

The fairways were in great shape but the greens were punched a couple weeks ago and a bit bumpy making it difficult to read the greens. It was also a brutally hot day with no breeze to make it bearable.

Overall great experience

I played at 11:15 so it was HOT! That being said, the course fairways and tees were in outstanding condition, the greens were very grainy and a little slow but still in very nice shape. The only negative on course conditions were the bunkers. They looked nice but under a 1/16 inch of sand they were as hard as bricks!

To top it off (in the nice category) we were not held up one time all day! I think we played in well under 4 hours!

Incredible bang for the buck!

This was my second time at the Raven Golf Club and it was an incredible experience! The course was in terrific shape for late July when most courses are torched. Staff was all amazing, cart service was as well. We will definitely be back to play it again soon!

Summer Treat

I don't pay winter prices for Phoenix's premium golf courses, so I don't get to play them often. Jumped on the chance to play Raven for $65. Of course, the round was very inexpensive largely because the greens were punched and sanded and largely unplayable. But, otherwise, the course was beautiful and in great condition. Even with the poor greens, I enjoyed the round at the discount rate

Great course, bad bunkers

This could have been a 10/10 rating, as the grassed areas were all in terrific shape. The bunkers however were very light on sand so it was almost impossible to get under it to get out. Fun layout though with some room to miss off the tee.

A Treat

Normally wouldn't pay the price for this premium course, but for $65, who could complain. The low price was surely because the greens were punched. Putting was totally impossible. Worst I've ever played on. But the fairways, tee boxes, and rough, are all in great condition. It is a sweet layout and was a lot of fun.
