The Raven course was in excellent condition, particularly when you factor in the time of the year.
The course is great as well as the practice facilities, which I like because I like to warm up and stretch before a round. Practice balls are included and are neatly set up on the range in nice piles next to the your practice position. The chipping area likewise has balls ready for use.
My price was great. Because I played in the heat of the summer. However I was in Phoenix recently on business and called to see if I could get in a round, but quicly changed my plans when quoted a $180 dollar fee. So what you see is my ajusted value rating. Summer at less than $40 great. The winter rate seems a bit steep. But, it is season.
Saying that, I must admit the the course is a country club type of experience, the layout and course were top drawer, and the staff from check in to cart return were all obviously trained in being attentive.
Would travel: 10-20 Miles, Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: I would play again, Better than average course for the area
