4-PLUS: Must play course - excellent standard; worthy of 4½ stars.

Est. 1995

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.

Tournaments

The Masters: The 88th Masters Tournament at Augusta National sees LIV golfer Jon Rahm defend his title against the world’s best. Pressing hard will be world No.1 and 2022 champion Scottie Scheffler and world No.2 Rory McIlroy (April 11-14).

Chevron Championship: the women’s major championship season gets underway for the second year at its new Carlton Woods home outside Houston, Texas. World No.2 Lilia Vu defends (April 18-21).

Who's Who

Nelly Korda: records a perfect start to 2024 with four wins out of her last four appearances on the LPGA Tour, a feat last achieved by Lorena Ochoa in 2008. Korda's win at the T-Mobile Match Play brought up her 12th LPGA Tour victory.

Scottie Scheffler: narrowly missed out on matching Nelly Korda’s three-in-three, when he placed second at the Houston Open. This followed back-to-back wins at the Arnold Palmer Invitational and The Players. Like Korda, he remains comfortably ahead in the official world golf rankings.

Marco Simone Golf & Country Club

Marco Simone Golf & Country Club: With a clubhouse that might befit a Roman Emperor, and a golf course to match, you can be sure of a memorable outing at Rome's most talked about golf facility.

Jim Fazio's original layout was much changed to create a modern Ryder Cup course ... now one of the Eternal City's (and Italy's) most revered.
