Raven's Claw Golf Club

Got a bonus November day above 50 degrees. Paired up with a twosome who turned out to be good fellows. Course was in great shape. Greens were running true and not chewed up considering the time of year with grass not growing. Great course with exception of #9 which is way too gimmicky for me, otherwise I'd give it an excellent for course layout. Fantastic value for a great Golfnow Hot Rate.

No matter how many times I play this course, I feel that the layout is fair but challenging . Always enjoy my round and the rates are very affordable . Look forward to my next round at Raven's Claw.

Raven's claw is a good mix of fun and challenging holes. While I've played here often, I was struck this time at the quality of the conditioning and the friendliness of the staff. The greens were in very good shape (they're often a bit slow for my taste, but not this time), the fairways were also in great shape. The starter let us begin a bit before our time, allowing us to get ahead of a foursome who ended up being very slow (we finished five holes ahead). A pleasant day at a nice course.

Hidden gem, challenging course that I really enjoy playing.

Nice course. Very friendly staff. There are several quirky holes which detract from overall quality of experience here.

This was the first time that my wife and I played Raven's Claw, although it had been high on our must play list for a while. The course itself was beautiful and impeccably maintained. The tee boxes were cut professionally, the fairways were almost divot free, and the greens were smooth and fair.

The course is not long and does not have an abundance of water, but the difficulty is there. The rolling farmland gives the golfer uneven lies throughout and makes tee shot placement a must. Sand traps and wild fescue comes into play on numerous holes. The ninth hole, with a double dogleg, ending in a steep uphill shot is particularly challenging. If you play from the tips, the tenth hole, at 644 yards will give even the longest hitters a challenge.

The only negatives that I had with the course were that the cart paths could use re-paving and the back nine, much shorter than the front, tended to rely more on tricky holes rather than totally legitimate challenges.

Overall, however, this is an excellent public track, well worth a trip and the greens fees. The staff gives the golfer a country club experience at a public course rate. We will be back there soon.

Pace was good for a Saturday, course was in great shape and the food was above average bar food.

This course is not bad. It is in a wealthy part of Montgomery county so they get away with charging a premium for for a round of golf here. However, the course's condition, more often than not, are not in great shape. The greens never roll true, the grass is usually long, and they are often very bumpy. It is a pretty layout with nice scenery and they usually do a great job managing pace of play. But, I have probably played there 5 or 6 times this year and all have been a disappointment. Make sure you go prepared with beer or any supplies you need because you will not see the clubhouse again until the 18th green. Out of the 5 or 6 times I played there I probably saw the beer/snack cart 2 times. All in all, it is a descent course with nice scenery. but, for $60 or $70 on a weekend morning, you can definitely play a course in better condition.

Have wanted to play this course for years. Never made the 45 minute drive as the course normally asks more than I'm willing to pay for golf. I got a hot deal on a holiday weekend after aerofication. Was teamed up with two great guys. Greens were inconsistent but they had just been punched. It was chilly in the upper 50s and pouring rain for the entire back nine. Normally that would be enough to make the Pope swear but my playing partners didn't seem to care. I blocked out what I could and had a very good round on a good course. Nice layout. Good conditioning. I enjoyed it enough that I may pay more next time and not be so cheap. If you haven't try Ravens Claw.

Overall great course. Fairways and rough in great condition. But greens were very soft and beat up. Many golfers do not fix their ball marks. But would play again.

For the money it is not worth it, the tee boxes are all torn up the fairways are torn up and they should have paved cart paths. Bella Vista far exceeds this course

Course is challenging, but fair. Fairways and greens in excellent condition. Pace of play was good. Enjoyable round of golf on a hot, sunny summer afternoon!

Love Raven's Claw and hadn't played it in a few years so I was looking forward to playing it on July 3, 2017. When my friend called to make the tee time he asked the girl if the Victory Golf Passbook Sr rate of $30 was good for that day and she said yes. He asked a second time knowing that the next day would be the 4th of July holiday and she assured him the $30 rate was still good. When we were ready to check in with the guy at the Pro Shop another gentleman walked behind the counter and seeing the book in our hands informed us that this was a holiday weekend, being that the 4th was the next day. We informed him that the girl who took the tee time said the $30 rate would be good, he said no, the best he could do was $59 that day. I showed him the Victory book which stated "Valid all Holidays and Holiday Weekends" and he just turned away and said $59!! We left and played another course due to them not honoring the book. I could see if was like other courses which state their rates are not good on holidays, but Raven's Claw specifically states it's good on holidays It'll take me awhile to go back there after that, but I do love the course. One uppity employee who doesn't adhere to their stated policy can ruin your day! He wasn't apologetic at all either!

Always like playing Ravens Claw. Some very challenging holes mixed in with some that you can swing away on. Stay out of the tall grass and stick to the fairway!
