Raven Golf Club - Phoenix
Est. 1995
Where2Golf says:
The Raven Golf Club - Phoenix (formerly Raven at South Mountain) provides an excellently laid out test of golf, always presented in great condition. The David Graham / Gary Panks layout blends plenty of golfing challenge and interesting features with the opportunity to score well if your golf game and course management are firing on all cylinders.
A hallmark of the course is its stylish and plentiful bunkering, combined with some of the quickest, toughest greens around. The pleasantly undulating fairways were created by moving plenty of earth on what was originally relatively flat terrain. Perhaps untypically for a Phoenix golf course, the holes are lined not by saguaro cacti (or real estate), but by smallish Georgia pine trees, which together with the mounding, give great definition to the holes.
With very little housing on or around the course, this is a layout that will appeal to golf purists. Although not too far from Phoenix's Sky Harbor International airport, and with a slight drone of traffic sometimes audible from nearby Baseline Road, these potential intrusions do not detract from the pleasures of a round on this excellent golf course.

Koksijde Golf ter Hille Golf Club: on what was previously open farmland, an enjoyable and challenging links-style layout has been crafted. Perhaps the inspiration for Koksijde's new course came from a renowned Harry Colt layout that existed in the 1920s just a couple of kilometres to the west. Read more... |
The Duke Golf Club: represents the latest in a trio of private courses to arrive on the Dutch golfing scene. All prefixed by the definite article, The Dutch (2010, designer Colin Montgomerie) and The International (2012, Ian Woosnam) have now been joined by The Duke, which firmly targets a business clientele and the corporate golf market.

Drentse Golfclub De Gelpenberg: as the oldest golf course in the Dutch province of Drenthe, De Gelpenberg offers a partly-wooded and partly-open heathland layout, guaranteed to test all facets of your game. It is arguably the best of the country's more northerly layouts, together with Lauswolt (50 km away to the north-west). Read more... |
Golfbaan Stippelberg: located 25 kilometres north-east of Eindhoven, this relatively new addition to championship golf in the Netherlands has fast become one of the country's "must play" courses. |
