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.

Raven is a beautiful course. Challenging enough for me. Weather was great, noting it was cloudy, however that was fine with me.

New go-to course when in town.

We were in town for a week of golf out of the rainy NW and decided to play Raven after hearing it had been improved since I last played it 3 years ago. Was surprised at the improvements and conditions so decided to replace a round on another course with a 2nd round there today.
The service and staff are great and player assist (Steve) offered some great tips and support.
My round of 77 was best of the trip and due in part to the quality and good energy of the place!

Great course for couples

Played the Raven twice in the last week and both rounds were very enjoyable. The course is still cart path only after overseeing until Nov17/23 but we still played both rounds in under 4 hours. Course is in great shape and fun to play for all levels of golfer skills. A couple of greens are a bit rough thanks to the damage done by some idiot on an ATV but they should be fully repaired in a week or so with some TLC Fromm the staff.

Carts were cart path only but it worked out okay.
We were very pleased with the conditions and layout of the course. Beautiful course, reasonably quiet, imaginative layout. No reason to avoid this course now that post over seeding has kicked in.
We played 4 other courses in the area for the first time and this was solidly our favorite.

The Jewel Of Phoenix

I got on the course today due do an excellent HOT DEAL. The course is in immaculate condition right after first cut after overseed. I definitely want the give the groundskeeping crew their "props." As a longtime AZ resident I proud see a metro Phoenix course giving greater value over "typical Scottsdale" courses!
