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.

Enjoy this course

Over the years we occasionally play the Raven. Each time we've found it to be a beautiful and challenging course. The course staff was friendly. It doesn't feel like an Arizona course because of the many pine trees, but that doesn't matter much to us.

First Class Day

Excellent course in great condition. There had been a frost delay and the staff was working hard to get everyone caught up. Play was 1hour behind We arrived early for tee time and they got us out earlier than our tee time. Waited on almost every hole , but not too long. Considering they give you a $50. pro shop credit to spend and $20. in the restaurant it was a good value.

Outstanding Country Club experience

This is a classical Country Club and by all means use your GolfNow free pass codes but it might not be worth spending the actual money on it for one round at an expensive price point. The course is very beautiful very interesting from the tips very challenging

Black Spots

I'll start taking pictures from now on.

The greens rolled OK but there are hundreds of black spots on the green that resemble unrepaired ball marks but just too numerous to be ballmarks.

So no tsure what the issue with those marks may be.

Great layout and scenery and one of the best courses in the valley.

Great Golfing Facility

Super golfing facility.

Check-in and starters were great.

Beautiful grass range and large putting green.

Tee to green, course was in fantastic condition.

Greens were very quick and rolled true.

No problem with pace as we were 1st group out but saw a ranger 4 times throughout round.

Some great golf holes. Undoubtably best course I played of 4 during the week.

Without hesitation.... would play here again when in the area.

Great Course!

The Raven should be on everyone's to-golf list. The staff is very friendly and helpful, the course is immaculate and makes you think you're in northern Arizona or the upper midwest with 6,000 pine trees!. I highly recommend this experience to anyone.

Still a Phoenix Gem

Since it opened the Raven has been a top notch layout. The entire course was in excellent shape. My only gripe is that some of the tee boxes force you to play the ball above your feet. In my opinion, a flat tee box should be a guarantee on every hole. Staff was super friendly and helpful.
