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.
