The Raven Golf Club at Verrado provides a unique all-inclusive golf experience. Golfers will enjoy true "member for the day" status with: top-of-the-line golf, unlimited use of the practice facility, and golf car. Built on the old Caterpillar bulldozer proving grounds, this golf course is located in the foothills of the White Tank mountains, 25 miles west of downtown Phoenix. It's an upscale desert style layout designed by John Fought and Tom Lehman that opened for public play in January 2004. The golf course is like two layouts built into one, with the front nine playing along a mostly level terrain with wide fairways leading to relatively flat docile greens that are very user friendly. Some holes feature short carries, and the desert consistently defines the playing area for this. The back side plays into the mountains, with holes 11 through 14 featuring significant elevation changes and rolling lush fairways. Many of the views on the back-side, from the tee areas and from many greens looking backwards, are of postcard quality. Where The Raven will eat you alive is in the sand bunkers. Some of the bunkers are hard to carry, others collect wayward shots. But the fairways are generous enough to avoid trouble, and what appears to be a safe shot off the tee will often bring greenside bunkers into play. So pick your poison. The total golf experience at this property is reminiscent of that at its sister course in Phoenix, the Raven at South Mountain.

The Raven at Verrado is step one of the West Valley's first big-time development that is sure to start a trend in the Phoenix metropolitan area, and is the centerpiece of the 8,800-acre Verrado master-planned golf community being developed. Although, construction for the adjacent Verrado housing community is ongoing, it's presence doesn’t detract from the golf experience in the least bit. Actually, the opposite is true. The traditional Southwestern architecture of the community can be felt throughout this golf environment. Let Vacation Caddy book you next Raven at Verrado golf package!
