Golf Courses: The Raven Golf Club
at South Mountain

The Raven Golf Club at South Mountain has been rated as having the "#1 guest service in North America," and this commitment to excellence is evident throughout the facility. Located just a short drive from Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport and most major Scottsdale Resorts or Hotels, The Raven Golf Club at South Mountain is a "Must Play" in the Scottsdale/Phoenix region. The layout features plush, rolling fairways framed by thousands of mature pine 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. Some say this course in the middle of the desert is just like an exclusive Private Country Club usually found in the Midwest. The subtle elevation changes are enhanced by challenging sand and grass bunkers that are placed against large multi-tiered greens. It all comes together to make for a strategic design, but also a fair one. Water comes into play on four holes with a beautiful lake making the par-4, 428-yard finishing 18th a nice challenge. This gorgeous finishing hole has been ranked as one of the best holes in Arizona.
