Interesting ,challenging,high desert course.Runs lots of specials and employees are friendly and helpful. From the back tees would be challenging for the pros. Some great scenery and we have seen a couple rattlers going across the fairways .Just don't hit your ball too close. More

The Raven is an excellent championship course always maintained at a very good level. Good selection of tees and distances for all levels of golfers. Hole design is challenging and interesting, but also fair. The practice facility is top notch. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Restaurant has very good food. An excellent choice in So. Phoenix.

I played 18 on Wednesday and went back on Friday for another round. This is a course where you must keep it in the fairway or you can kiss you ball goodbye. The course is well maintained and the staff is very friendly and helpful! More

I would heartily recommend The Raven. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful, the course was in great shape with large, undulating greens that beg for a smooth touch around and on them. Mature trees are something you don't expect in Phoenix and this course has them in spades. It is really has an old school private club feel to... More

The Raven is an old school golf course with full mature trees and lush roughs that remind you of Eastern and Midwestern tracks. It is in wonderful condition and is a treat to play. More

Beautiful course nestled in the foothills of South Mountain with lots of vegetation and well kept fairways and greens. A little pricy but you get what you pay for More

My husband and I golfed this course a few days ago. It's well maintained, fairways and greens in very good shape, with flowers and other beautiful plantings on the course and around the clubhouse. The course layout is somewhat challenging, without being intimidating to higher-handicap golfers. Besides bunkers, there is a pond which is a hazard on two holes. On... More
