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 golf course

I want to start off by saying I only gave it four stars because of the bunkers. The superintendent of the golf course should get five stars. He does a great job.. all the reviews that people do on GolfNow never say anything about the superintendent. The greens were phenomenal. Fairways were in great shape. If it wasn’t for the bunkers, it would be 5+ stars. I know they’re working on the bunkers right now.

Best course in Phoenix

This place is in perfect condition. Staff is awesome. Pace was really good for the day. Layout is good and surprisingly tricky. It’s a sneaky long course. I will play here any chance I get

Great course to play

We enjoyed the course, best we've played since arriving 3 weeks ago. Everything about the course was good, the layout, the lush fairways and rough, the fast greens, the tree lined fairways, and the overall greenness. Would come back for sure.
The downside was the pace, 4:45 for our round, waiting on most every shot, no marshall all day..

Raven Review KC Rick

Course was in excellent shape from fairways to rough. Tee Boxes and Greens in good shape, however greens did not hold.

Biggest criticism was the sand traps. Some were thread bare. Most were crusty, hard sand, with some having water and mud at the bottom. One trap I was in, had virtually no sand. There were a few that had been replaced with fluffy sand. All in all, the traps were poor, and very inconsistent from a swing and contact point of view.

Top Notch

Weather-wise it wasn't a great day BUT the course was in great shape. The course was immaculate, the greens were smooth and speedy, and the fairways were super. With all that said, I was most impressed by the employees - VERY friendly, courteous, and made us feel like welcome guests.

More than pleased with our day at Raven. The course was in fantastic shape - fairways were stellar and the greens could not have been smoother. Will definitely be on the "must play again" on next trip to Phoenix!

Course was in good condition except the bunkers were terrible. There was virtually little sand in them and they were as hard as concrete. Also found the staff were not all that friendly compared to the other courses I played
