The Raven at Verrado Golf Course is a layout that’s garnered more than its fair share of accolades from both local and national golf writers and players Located west of Phoenix at the foot of the White Tank Mountains, the Raven at Verrado Golf Course offers a unique golf experience with spectacular views and unexpected elevation changes. Wide open fairways and often tight approaches, lead to large, undulating and sometimes tough to read greens that range in speed from slow to super-fast. This is a layout that provides the opportunity to play a variety of approach shots.

For sure, this facility offers one of the best values in golf anywhere in Arizona. You can enjoy true "member for the day" status with: unlimited golf, unlimited use of the practice facility, one full meal (breakfast, lunch, or dinner, ordered from Cocina Grille), along with on-course snacks and non-alcoholic beverages. I have never run across anything quite like anywhere else.

The 18-hole Raven at Verrado Golf Course plays an intimidating 7,258 yards of golf from the longest tees for a par of 72. The course rating is 73.8 and it has a slope rating of 132. Designed by John Fought, the Raven golf course opened in 2004.

Green Fees: From $94 to $149 depending on the month and include the “Member for a Day” status described above. These rates are subject to change and you are encouraged to check the latest updates by call in the pro shop at (623) 388-3030.
