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.

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 :)

Great condition but uneventful layout

We were visiting for a golf trip and expected more of variety of hole layout. The course was in beautiful condition. And the pace of play was over 5 hours so we were not able to play all 18 and I was surprised there was no Marshall helping to speed up the pace.

5 hour place of play.

Waited on every hole on the back nine. Tee time was 11:00 and was held at the start for 10 minutes. Then everything started backing up on the end of front nine. Ask ranger and staff after round if 5 hours was normal. Both said this close to holiday and with slow players before us yes does happen. Wish they cared about slow play.

Outstanding course

I play very infrequently with my adult son and son-in-law and we had a highly enjoyable experience at Raven. We would all recommend the course with no hesitation and look forward to returning. The course is in phenomenal shape and the layout is very appealling. Staff is very friendly and helpful.

Too bad the kitchen closed early

Everything was great, range, course, weather, pace, staff. Only downside was the kitchen closed before we finished so we had to travel somewhere else to grab dinner
