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.

Great experience

friendly staff at the counter and on the driving range. I really enjoyed the layout of the course. Lots of moguls which added to the challenge of play. I played the Biltmore the following day (links course) and the contrast between the two courses was stark. One living off an old reputation and Raven catering to the needs of its patrons. Keep up the good work. I plan to return.

Very enjoyable round of golf.

My first time to the area and our group had a great time and really enjoyed the course. One of our favorites we played this week. The staff was friendly and the food we had was amazing. Will be back again!

Dedicated staff

Raven is always a solid choice in the Phoenix area where competition is fierce.

A special shout out to Ben. A staff member who joined me after his regular shift sporting a shovel in tow and digging out many drains overgrown with turf as we played. Raven is obviously making the effort necessary to compete in this market. ( side note) The kid is a heck of a putter!

Raven battle ground

Very unusual desert course. Lots of rolling terrain with many tress. Unfortunately the pine trees are diseased and dying. But a great layout. Only problem is that because of heavy play certain popular fairway locations are littered with unrepaired divots. And similarly some of the greens were moonscapes with unrepaired ball marks.

Our #1 course

We come here every year 1-2 times and this is our no doubt stop. We don’t come to Phoenix if we can’t play the Raven. The course is ALWAYS in top condition. Here and Wekopa are the only places I’ve been that never have a blade of grass out of place. They also had a Marshall out keeping tabs on pace of play. Oh.. and I got my second Ace on #2 :)
