The course is the best I've played in Arizona. The desert in Arizona makes certain parts of course maintenance difficult (and others easy), but the Raven does a high-quality job of keeping the grass well taken care of. The setting in the White Tank mountains is very, very nice. I play at a moderate skill level, although I drive long, and this course is great for that type of play - long, wide and forgiving, but with enough technical challenges to keep you interested. $90 in the prime months of the year isn't ridiculously cheap, but it's pretty darn competitive for a course of this quality (esp. for someone who grew up playing in NY and New England). I can imagine that the location is a bit of a hike for many folks in the Valley, but I actually live in Verrado, so that's certainly not an inconvenience for me.

We played this course on 10/5/11. We had one of the best golf outing ever. We played expensive courses around the States and this ranked right up there. The course was beautiful and condition was great for this time of the year (no brown dirt patches like other courses). The majority of the holes have excellent scenery. On par 5's, you can gun for it if you feel brave. We love that you can pull out the 3 wood even after a good driver. The course plays very fair. Service was excellent at the golf shop, starter, and restaurant. Definitely pay the extra $15 to get the "member for a day" package. You get to replay for $15 cart fee, up to $14 credit for lunch at their grill, and a snack + 1 non-alcoholic drink on the course. The grill is beautiful and the food was delicious. I will bring my family there just for lunch. We loved it so much this is now our home course for AZ. Between Las Sendas, Golf Club of Estrella, We Ko Pa and Verrado, we put Verrado as #1.

Wow the Raven at Verrado is truly a great golf experience from the moment you drive up you are greeted by a professional service person. Walked into the pro-shop everyone was nice and outgoing and treated me like a long lost friend asked me if I had played there before and welcomed me and explained everything really well to us. The driving range is absolutely huge and very nice and the putting green is nice and ample size. The golf course is truly a nice layout and plays very fairly. There are a lot of bunkers which if you somehow managed to not hit it in one would be amazing. The greens are fairly sized and don’t have too much break in them which was nice. Also the think I really liked is that the par 3’s were pretty and nice and actually shorter. I mean how many par 3s can you play that are 200+ these were nice and shorter which was good to see. Overall the course was in excellent shape everything was manicured to tenth degree. I have never seen my ball sit so nicely everywhere on the golf course heck even in the bunkers. You couldn’t get a bad lie at this golf course if you tried. Also 39 dollars for 18 holes at this golf course is truly an excellent deal. On a scale out of 10 I rate this course and experience a 10. If you go play this course you will not be disappointed I promise you that.

always recommend as a fine place to play and pro shop is one of the best. they excanged my wifes shirt without a problem through the mail. jerry
