Good range with helpful staff. Sunshade to allow for practice during high heat. Quality range balls and good targets and areas to putt and chip. Active rangers on the course. Starter explained local rules and desert rules as there are many areas that can get rocky and unplayable on this track. Play was good but not great at 4 hours. Staff was friendly and helpful. The carts have no GPS and has a number of shots that require some knowledge of landing zones and landing areas. Rangefinders can sight most areas and there are a few blind shots. GPS on a phone is recommended as it would help for certain drives or shots. They do have a great flyby visual on the website which I found after which would have been helpful. An interesting layout. A bit short but has one par five on the back and the par threes and the par fours all have lots of variety. I found the greens to be inconsistent on speed and almost crusty but they held shots. The fairways and rough was good for this time of year but had some areas that were exposed and were bare and recovering. Traps were inconsistent with dry and wet sand and seemingly different types of sand depending on the hole. Par threes were really good with challenge and variety of distances. Some of the par fours are really good holes and some fell flat to me with the layout. Good course and good rate and pace of play was better than average and they try to keep it moving.

Played an early summer round for a great rate. Course conditions were good to really good. Greens were very good, fairways were good with some spots that were bare or burnt. Bunkers had some standing water and unplayable areas. They had watered heavily to keep up with the heat so some spots were moist. Play was average to good. Should have been better for early morning and played in 4 hours, waited on a number of holes. Practice facility was really good and greens and chipping areas are a plus for this course. Overall condition of the course for time of year was very good and staff was friendly and helpful.

Played an early morning round and finished in less than 3 1/2 hours which is great. Difficult course to park and drop off clubs if you are not a resort guest. Good not great service but cart attendants and drink carts were attentive and timely. Driving range has been eliminated and can only warm up in nets now. Practice green is small and is not in good condition. Carts do not have GPS and range finders are difficult to use given blind shots. Needs to have a GPS type range device to pay course effectively. Lots of blind landings and carry to specific spots required. Cart paths are rough. .Course conditions were very good. Greens are slow but in good condition. Fairways were above average for this time of year. Good value and played quickly but likely will not play here again with other choices that are better playing options.

Played an early morning Sunday round and was greeted and checked in quickly. Course condition was generally good, greens were firm but rolled well and grass was in good shape on fairways, tees, rough, and greens. Pace of play was 4 - 4.5 hours and should have been much quicker. Sand traps were inconsistent with some hard sand and not enough sand in many bunkers. One strange comment was that pin placements were in odd and difficult spots, cut close to the edges of greens, and located on ridges and slopes and not flat areas within the different sections of the greens. This made the course play more difficult and in my opinion slowed down play substantially.

Played an early morning round at Raven. Good friendly service, and quick. Was able to play quickly and pace of play was just over 3 and a half hours. Course condition was good, greens rolled good. Looks like they have cut down some pines and other trees to clean up areas. Bunkers were primarily good with some that had some inconsistency in them (too much or too little sand). Lots of bunkers on this course so difficult to maintain.

Good quality round and conditions were good.

Played early morning round 7:20 tee time. The practice range "under construction" and club house complete but not open. Attendants in the temporary trailer were attentive and professional and courteous. The parking lot while not ideal allowed for a good flow as a result of good club attendants. The course played well for this time of year greens were receptive and rolled fair although they showed normal wear and tear of summer stress. Tee boxes and fairways were also well groomed for this time of year. Some fairways showed some stress and inconsistency but I would also attribute that to normal July conditions. Worst thing about the course right now is the cart paths, pretty native/dirt trails. I would assume that would get an upgrade when they finish other construction. Played quickly although we waited on a number of holes but finished in less than four hours which is always good. Enjoyed the layout and the service staff was above average. Need to invest some money in tightening fairway areas, less stray rocks and more desert. Bunkers were average but fair for this time of year.
