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 golf club review

Raven Golf Club in Phoenix, AZ, proved to be an exceptional experience, surpassing all expectations. Despite its elite price point, comparable to renowned courses such as Dinosaur Mountain and Longbow, it offered unparalleled value. From the moment I crossed the drawbridge entrance, the atmosphere exuded sophistication and charm. The service was impeccable, with attentive staff ensuring every need was met. The culinary offerings, including a delightful chorizo potato egg breakfast burrito and a perfectly spiced Bloody Mary, added an extra layer of enjoyment to the day. As for the course itself, the fairways and greens were meticulously maintained, providing a challenging yet rewarding playing experience. Although we encountered a slower foursome ahead, the pace of play remained manageable, allowing us to complete 18 holes in a respectable three and a half hours. Overall, Raven Golf Club earns my highest recommendation for anyone seeking an unforgettable golfing experience in Phoenix.

Stunning

If you’re from out of town this may not be as amazing as it is for Phx residents. It’s like traveling to Flagstaff or even Oregon. Big mature trees. Stunning green. Absolutely fantastic course. Loved it.

Great course, but greens are abused by inconsiderate golfers.

The course layout is great and for the most part, conditions are excellent as well. Only negative is lots of ball marks from players who don't take the time to properly fix ball marks. I would also suggest a "local rule" of raking the bunkers before you play a shot. Lots of inconsiderate players in the bunkers as well. If this course was private it would be fantastic.

Beautiful Course

I would highly recommend this course to anyone. The course was in exceptional condition. Very well manicured, and every hole that we went had a very beautiful view. The pace of play was like it was years ago, where you could finish around in a little over four hours. The cost is a little bit more but you get what you pay for. The staff is very kind and attentive. Always asking what can I help you with. I am looking forward to playing this course again.

Fantastic Course!

I highly recommend this course.....from the moment you arrive you are greeted with incredible excellent service from everyone....checkin, starter, restaurant staff....
This course is absolutely beautiful and challenging enough but also wide fairways for most level golfers. The new white sand bunkers are lovely although of course I tried to stay out of them. Everyone in my foursome said they looked forward to returning!

Enjoyable Round

The course and grounds were beautiful and we were treated by a professional and courteous staff that seemed genuinely interested in making our round memorable. This was our "treat" round during our vacation as I had never paid over $220 for a round of golf. It's hard to judge the value but it was a very enjoyable day.

Great course

This is one of my favorites in the Phoenix area. It was as good as it's been in the past. Love the condition and layout. We found a good deal on Golf Now which made it more affordable. I can't afford to play this course at the normal rates.

Great track

This was the best public course we played in its price range. Also played TPC Champions and Camelback Padre and Raven was a much better track. Very non desert golf so if you are looking for pure desert golf there are better options. The fairways and rough were perfect, greens rolled true but not super fast. 100% recommend Raven!

Awesome

Awesome course, I would include this in any trip to Scottsdale. Perfect.for day of arrival or
Departure due to proximity to the airport. It’s not a desert course,‘it’s lush and in great shape. The greens are good but get a lot of use. The thing about golfing in Scottsdale is setting expectation. For me The Raven at $200 or so is a no brainer compared to some courses charging $400-500

Golf in Scottsdale is very expensive. What is $200 there might only be $70-$100 where you live.

Loved this course and will play it again
