Raven Golf Club - Phoenix
About
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.

Excellent despite the weather
Occasional showers, but it did not affect the playability
Fly to Raven
I was staying in Surprise but the drive was worth it. Lots of challenges to the course. Elevated greens and plenty of sand. Sand was decent to play out of unlike other local courses where traps were hard. I'd play here again for sure!
Thanks for taking the time to give us a review! We are glad you made the drive!
Fantastic
What a great golf course! Beautiful setting lots of green grass. Very organized pace of play was never A problem every hole was wide open. Nice to have range balls included. Can't say enough nice things about this course, staff was very helpful cart person was available often. Grouped with very friendly people.
Thank you for your 5 star review! We are glad you enjoyed your experience!
We really appreciate your 5 star rating! Hope to see you back out at the Raven soon!
Fantastic conditions, lots of grass and pine trees
It's not desert golf. If you miss the fairway you're in actual watered green rough, not the dry un-watered desert rough everywhere else. Pine trees line the fairways on every hole. Bunkers have nice smooth white sand in them. Greens are smooth, cut short, roll well, with good speed. Only complaint I would have is that the tee box and driving range grass should have been shorter. But the condition was still outstanding, easily one of the top 10 courses in the area..
Carts have GPS. There's a grass range before the round that they give you ~30 balls to. Water given to you on the first tee. Great clubhouse/restaurant with a view of the course. Beverage cart told us that food was available at the turn, but there was no QR code for the menu, nor was there a way to order on the cart GPS.
Layout was uninspiring, just a bunch of dead straight par 4's. No doglegs, no water hazards around greens (except for 18), no elevated tee boxes. The course is long - senior tees are 5760 yards. Tips well over 7000. Wasn't challenging as long as you have distance with your driver and can stay out of trees. Par 5's were 596 and 593 yards. Only a few greens with a tight landing area, most were easy to hit.
There's mountain views on the holes facing south. The course has homes on it but for the most part they are tucked away behind trees and never come into play. 9 min tee time intervals are frustrating enough to keep you waiting a few minutes each tee box.
Thank you for taking the time to give us a 5 star review! Hope to see you back out here soon!
Raven
Course was in very good condition the greens were outstanding pacer play was excellent. A little pricey but that’s the way it is nowadays. Definitely go back
Thank you for the great review. We hope to see you again!
Great value in the afternoon
I’m not someone to usually take the time to review golf courses, but I just felt the need to express how impressed I was with the Raven. The conditions were great (lush, great greens), and we played in 4 hrs, which surprised me given the frost delay. This is up there as a favorite of mine in the valley. I will definitely be back!
Thank you for taking the time to write a review. We are happy to hear that you enjoyed your visit.
Beautiful Little Hidden Gem in Phoenix
If you know where this course is, it’s kind of odd that such a nice club is in the area. Not a bad area, just not somewhere you’d expect to spend $200 on golf. But it’s cool when you drive back into the parking area and sort of get whisked into this private little enclave.
That aside, one of the better courses I’ve played in a long time. Phoenix isn’t short on great courses, but I’d say a lot of what I’ve played lately has been pretty shabby. This course keeps it tight. The greens are nice, even and roll great, the fairways are beautiful (if you’re lucky enough to spend time there 😉), and even the rough was very nicely “kept”.
Pace of play was good even though we were a 2some stuck behind a few 4somes. It really felt like a private club experience so I think it was worth the price.
Would definitely play again.
