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.

Well kept

Got a twilight tee time for about $99, well worth it. Some of the nicest tee boxes and greens I’ve played all year. Very pretty course with all the flowers.

Great track

The course was in great shape and they keep the fairways in perfect condition. Greens weren’t the fastest but they put the pins in some tough spots. Definitely will be back

Beautiful Well Conditioned Course

After playing four other highly rated courses (e.g Southern Dunes, Estrella, Whirlwind, Troon) in the Phoenix area on this trip, the Raven was by far the best conditioned course we played and it is pure golf. The fairways, greens, and rough were all in great shape. Greens rolled true and quick. The holes are scenic and no houses (though some are present in a few areas along hole/course boundaries) or other distractions intrude on the course. There are some interesting hole layouts but all holes are fair and the trouble spots are all fairly well in sight. Overall, a great course and one where we will return again. If you are in the Phoenix area this course should be on your list to play.

Before it gets too hot the grass is near perfect. Greens are rolling nicely and bunkers are in great shape.
