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.

Raven's Claw

My 9am tee time didn't get off until 9:20. I watched as group after group of twosomes went off between 8-9 none of which were paired up together by the starter. I don't understand why or how they were 2-3 tee times behind at only 9am. However, the course was in good shape. Fairways had a few small patches in them and the greens rolled true and moderately fast. Lots of trees and a few forced carries, my playing partners lots a lot of balls. Good value for the money, driving range and putting green to warm up on, no chipping green. nice locker room and a decent sized bar and lounge for hanging out after the round. I will try to play again.

Not Bad

This was the second time I played Raven's Claw. It is an ok course in ok shape. The greens seemed a bit chewed up near the holes. The layout is not bad on most holes but there were a few holes that I thought were terribly designed (9 and 18 specifically). Not bad for a public course but I doubt I will be back any time soon.

Let down

This was a favorite layout of mine. Now the course has become a huge disappointment. The condition of the entire course was terrible. I'm wondering if people that play there treat it the way they do because of the sad shape that it's in. Ball marks not fixed, bunkers not raked. Divots not filled or replaced. It was a high priced worth the money course. Now it's a rag that I wouldn't pay 25$ to play.

Greens are awful

Greens have recently been aerated, which apparently means dumping sand in all of the small aerated holes and all over the greens. You're better off not putting as it will only mess up your touch/feel for the future. Balls bounced all over, you had to smash the ball for it to go anywhere, and there was no stopping/checking on any of your short game shots. Honestly you're better off either not playing or just picking up once you get to the greens. I got a hot deal on a weekday for $28 and would have rather paid twice that to play elsewhere. Maybe once the greens are in better shape, I'll give this course another try, but only if the greens are in better condition and if I can get some sort of deal for less than $30 as it's not worth anything more than that at this point in time.

Aeration and Golfnow response

We booked one week prior to play date and the course aerated one week prior to play date. We only learned of aeration one day ahead when the course sent its own email offering an aeration special at less than golfnows hot deal. Greens were poor

Worst condition I've seen RC in years.

Raven's Claw has been one of my go to courses since it opened, but after this weekend I'm reconsidering. Pace of play was abysmally slow and nothing was done to pick it up. Cart girl appeared once in 5 hours. The fairways are chopped up and burnt out. The greens were recently aerated, which is necessary I suppose, but it just added to a long, frustrating round.

Uninformed

The greens had been air rated which was not list when I booked this with golf now. After driving a half hour the gentleman in the club house said don't play I will give you your money back. It would be a good idea to post this info along with tee times when work was done on the course. Very disappointed!!!!

Great course but a little pricey

It's a great course to play on. One of the best but they should offer special deals to the golfers that are driving 30-45 mins away from the course to attract more customers.

Greens and fairways are in great shape, very friendly staff and great food at the bar.

I would only play here for discounted rate

Raven's Claw is a really tough challenging lay out but my only gripe is that the course maintenance has really gone down hill in the last couple of years. It has a lot of quality and the holes depending on where you play from can be really fun to some what hard. I would high recommend Ravens Claw, but they really need to step up the course maintenance here.

Challenge for any level of golfer

Nice course in good condition with scenic holes, well placed sand traps, challenging greens with good roll. Tee boxes good be s bit better but overall a very interesting course. Houses are around the course but for the most part don't come into play. Worth it at regular rate and a steal of a deal through golf now

Torn hp

Not sure if they had an outing or something, but the amount of cig butts and the chewed up fairways and greens was really disappointing to say the least. Not sure I'll be heading back given course conditions. Obviously everyone else has given up too, no fixing ball marks or divots, carts were really poor, best thing was $2.50 yuenglings...

RC

This is a great layout. But, over the past few years the course condition has deteriorated. The greens were excellent, tee boxes and fairways were good, rough becoming mostly crab grass, and the bunkers were horrible. Some of the bunkers had very little sand, others had rocks. The cart paths are still not finished and the carts are pathetic. It is a good course to play for a reduced rate, but I would never give them full rate.

Great track, poor pace

Loved our round here. Great conditions for a great price and friendly staff. Unique layouts on just about ever hole. Just a plodding pace of play though, could be improved. In spite of this, I will be back for sure.
