A 175 yard 9 iron?!? The desert has caused me to hit my clubs further than ever before, and I try to adjust during my FRONT 9 here at Grayhawk Golf Club’s Raptor Course!

-- COURSE FUN FACTS --

The Raptor Course is the host venue for the 2021 and 2022 NCAA Division 1 Men’s and Women’s Golf Championships! It was also selected to host during 2020, however the Championships were canceled.

The Raptor Course used to host the PGA Tour’s best including Rickie Fowler during the FRY’s.com Open! It also hosted the 1995, 1997 & 1998 Andersen Consulting World Championship of Golf. This match-play tournament was the predecessor to the WGC Match Play, now annually known hosted at Austin Country Club in Austin Texas as the World Golf Championships Dell Technologies Match Play.

The Raptor Course at Grayhawk Golf Club in Scottsdale, Arizona plays almost 7,200 yards from the Raptor tees to a par 72. This course was designed by Tom Fazio, and was made for tournament golf. Dramatic sweeping slopes and green side precision is a hallmark of this course. There is trouble lurking around every green, with some quick, shaven banks along with deep bunkers protecting each one.

Grayhawk Golf Club was one of Phil Mickelson’s first sponsor’s, and his touch can be seen all around the property. Phil’s Grill is one of the best restaurants in town, and the sister Talon Course gives the Club plenty to offer.
