“Raptor is a solid Fazio course that is one of the high-end public options in Scottsdale. Good course that is kept in good conditions with good views -- about what you would expect given what is charged."

“A little more room off the tee than its sister Talon course; plenty of challenge; Par 4s are a bit weak and similar, but it's in great shape in a great playing environment."

“The better of the two courses at Grayhawk. Great conditioning and an interesting routing. Fun desert golf with a cart. Right amount of elevation change and water hazards. And Phil's Grill is right off 18 which is something to look forward to as the round nears the end. Only downside is the amount of real estate that is visible from the course."

“Great desert golf. Course is very challenging from back, it requires great tee shots, and much easier the farther up you play. Range with Rock music is a plus."

“Great desert golf course; challenging. If you don't like desert golf course, do not play here. In excellent shape with great practice facility (grass, short game area, putting green). First rate. Nice choice of multiple restaurants too. Not inexpensive though ---- over $200 unless you find last minute deals online. Overall a fun golf course/resort to play. Would definitely play this one when in Scottsdale."
