Located in Limerick Township, Raven's Claw Golf Club is one of southeastern Pennsylvania's best golf and residential communities. It consistently ranks as one of the state's top 10. Carved from rolling hills and mature woodlands, the layout features a variety of different holes. No two holes are alike but they require some creative shot-making abilities. With tight fairways and undulating greens bordered by mounds of rough, the golf course also demands accuracy. The design incorporates links-style elements that present a formidable test. The golf course is undoubtedly challenging but there are also recovery opportunities on each hole, which makes it less daunting for beginners. One of Raven's Claw Golf Club's most memorable holes is the tricky penultimate hole. This unforgiving par-3 has a double-tiered, undulating green with no bailout areas to the left or right. Golfers that hit it short will face a blind second shot.

Really Nice

Friends of mine raved about this course and I can understand why. Course was in perfect shape and the layout was really nice. Played on July 4th late in the day so we had no one in front of us or behind us. Looking forward to going back. Didn't use any of the Off-Course Amenities so I can't comment on that.

everything fine but the greens

Raven's Claw is a fine facility with a good mix of holes and a nice staff. We played in a drizzle on the front nine and it cleared up on the back nine. Have played the course many times but I noticed a real inconsistency in the greens today. Its possible that the course took on more water than I could imagine causing the slow spongy putting surfaces. The greens looked smooth and nice but putted very slowly. As a course superindendent, I'd be looking to get the greens firmed up and the speed restored. Other than that, everything else was excellent.

Good track

The course was in great shape and it's a decent challenge. Paid $40 on a hot deal which was great. The only complaint I have is they let us go out as a twosome, a twosome in front and then let a single, playing 2 balls, off behind us. That kind of messed up pace of pla, the guy was hitting up on us all day and there was no good reason for it.

No marshall, no starter, crazy slow!

Great rate on a weekday lured us in! It wasn't worth it - there were numerous holes where 3 groups waited to tee off (very slow group or groups were not being managed). We didn't have a starter and never saw a Marshall on the course. Too bad - the course is interesting but we will not be going back!

Slow greens

This course was in pretty good shape. My only complaint is that the greens are really slow and variable. Would be better if they focused more time on consistent speed and a bit faster.

Great Conditions

Course has a nice layout and is in great condition. foursome in front were slow thus slowing us down. Some holes were challenging and others were easy as long as you hit them straight. Would go back again.

Not worth the prime-time pay

Have played here over 20 times to living close by, but this was the worst I have seen the course in quite some time. Definitely not worth the prime time rate. Get it via a hot deal or discounted rate. Really isn't worth more than maybe 50$ to play here. Never anyone to speed up pace of play, almost took 5 hours. Will play again since it is a decently challenging fun course, but hoping it gets in better shape.

Nice course

Overall this is a good play. Biggest issue I had was the greens, they are very slow. Decent layout with a few challenging holes as well as a few really gettable holes too. If you can get a good price give it a go.

Perfect Friday afternoon

Was Really surprised to play as a single on a beautiful 83 and sunny Friday afternoon. The pro shop let me go out a few minutes early and it was smooth sailing all afternoon. This was only my 3rd time playing here, all this year. Im a big fan, it's challenging, it has character and it's in good shape (players need to fix ball marks, I don't get why it's ever an issue). Will definitely be back.

Unique challenge

This is my second time playing Raven's Claw. Greens were aerated a couple of weeks ago and probably need a couple more weeks to be ready, but we knew that going in.

Overall, the course was in better condition than the other 5 courses I've played this spring and if you can secure the GN hot deal, a definite value. It was cloudy and forecast for rain so pace of play was not an issue since there were few golfers out the day we played. Not a course most people would want to walk.

Lots of dogs legs and the landing areas and on the "narrow side" if you're accustomed to playing wide-open links-style courses where your drives can stray onto neiborog fairways and not be penalized. If you wide on the wrong side of the landing areas, you'll discover that small mistakes can be magnified. There are houses lining some of the holes, but generally don't come into play.

Greens are undulating and large. Generally rolls true and quite fair although they were VERY slow the day we played.

The only thing missing was the 19th hole. Super friendly staff, but if you're hoping for dinner, you'll have to head off-site for now. I guess the kitchen is being "repaired."

Staff made the difference

The "gentleman" that was in the pro shop was mean, condescending, miserable and outright nasty. In the past I have enjoyed the course, but this person totally brought the entire day down and was the cause of the bad review. I will pass this on to all others.

Always Enjoy Raven's Claw

Raven's Claw is a really nice course. Good conditions all around even on this spring feeling winter day. The front nine is fairly straight-forward. The track gets a little tricky (more challenging) on the back nine. Most holes are expansive but a push, pull, slice or hook can lead to an unplayable lie or even a lost ball. Some nice scenery. And then there's the looming nuclear cooling towers from Limerick. And of course, you'll almost always see the namesake Ravens gliding around the course.

Ravens claw

Course was in good condition, challenging layout, greens were very slow! I got there an hr early , but wasn't allowed out earlier, even though no one teed off all morning or even in front of me which my tee time was 11 am, which was fine , I realized they don't have to let me out early, it just seems some courses let you go out early and some don't! They don't seem cater to golf now tee times when it comes to letting someone go early if there's no one else there. harbor pines made me wait 3 hrs in 25 degree weather and I was the only 1 on the books all day! Like I said some courses let you go early and some Don't! Luckily I was paired up with a nice guy and a pretty good golfer! Had a good time !
