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.

Why tear it up ???

I just can’t understand WHY you would take a course like this in almost Perfect condition and Tear it Up just to ‘plant overseed’ ??? I lived in Texas for years and they overseed when the weather eventually turns, but they don’t close the course, turn off the water, tear up the grass or Any of the things these Phoenix courses do ?? Just LEAVE IT ALONE - it’s just about Perfect !!!!

Feeling Better

With reference to "not worth the money" and after we got home from the boys trip we had a discussion with the Course about our experience and have since got the satisfaction we needed, thanks to course Management. Understand that courses need to do renno's and that requires construction that occurs over a period of time. We will probably go back (when construction is completed), next time we are down there and see what the new/updated course layout is like fully grown in.

No information

It’s a shame that such a high rated facility doesn’t post on their or Golf now website that the greens have been aired and only the back 9 is available. To charge what they did especially at an 11:00am tee time at 111 degrees I would expect a better price and an update to the maintenance on the course. The saving grace was the course and the people working for the course in all aspects that allowed me to play and enjoy myself especially it being my first time there. I saw other golfers walk away mad and went to play at other courses.

Hi Rick,

Thanks for the nice feedback on the staff.
We have alerts set up on all of our online tee times and reiterated in the confirmation email. The rates have also been greatly reduced. Did you happen to book a Hot Deal from GolfNow?

Please reach out to me at bhand@arcisgolf.com or 602.303.3721

Not a great experience

The staff while being very respectful and polite has to deal with a management that will not provide information on the course until after the money is paid. They had nine holes closed and dual pins on the greens making you play the same wholes twice. Nowhere mentioned online and no option to pay at the course only prepaid. I will not be going back and suggest the legacy resort right down the road.

We apologize this caught you off guard. There are alerts in place on all of our online tee times to make golfers aware of the course maintenance we don't want anyone to be surprised upon arrival.
Our goal is to provide a great experience to everyone that steps foot on property. Sorry this wasn't the case for you.
If you don't wish to prepay you can always call the golf shop to reserve.

Please contact me

Ravens

Had a bachelor party group of 8 ahead of me as a single. It was no worries. They played pretty quick and I was in no hurry. Greens still rolled very well even though not completely grown out.

Amenities are great. Very friendly staff. Would always recommend Ravens, regardless of time of year, to friends and acquaintances and strangers too.
