![]() Accolades 4.5 Stars - Best Places to Play -- Golf Digest #1 Guest Service in North America -- Golf Digest #1 Golf Guest Service in Arizona -- The Arizona Republic #2 Public Golf Course in Arizona -- The Arizona Republic Course History and Description Raven at South Mountain provides a unique golf experience in the desert. From the Georgia pine tree-lined fairways to the multi-tiered greens, this Gary Panks and David Graham golf course design is a "must-play" in the Phoenix, Arizona area. Constructed in 1995 on fertile farmland, over 700,000 cubic feet of soil was moved to build the non-traditional course in the desert. Nearly 6,000 pine trees were brought in to create a unique atmosphere and provide golfers an escape from the desert-style courses throughout the Phoenix area. The course layout for Raven at South Mountain features rolling fairways lined with thousands of mature pine trees. The subtle elevation changes are enhanced by sand and grass bunkers that are placed against large multi-tiered greens. To complete the experience, the colorful backdrop is a display of rugged desert mountain vistas and the Phoenix skyline. The award-winning Raven at South Mountain has been ranked one of the top golf courses in the country and with 5 sets of tees, offers a challenge to golfers of all skill levels. The low handicap players will find the black tees, at over 7,000 yards, will require a more strategic approach and a chance to use every club in the bag. The higher handicap players will enjoy our plush, rolling fairways and larger than average greens. Water hazards come into play on five holes including the 18th with a green-side waterfall. The par-4, 477-yard 3rd is a true golf hole that will test the skills of even the longest hitters. A tee ball down the center will allow for the best angle, especially with a back right flag position. The green allows for a long iron or fairway wood approach, as it’s the only hole with no bunkering.
