I am so glad I have found this place!!! I decided to take up golf lessons as an investment in my…read morecareer (I work in a "good ole boys' club" environment) but my lessons have now turned into my happy place! My instructor is Tommy Samaha and I am SO glad that I got him. He is kind, empathetic, and truly passionate about helping people learn how to golf. One minute with this guy and there is no mistaking that he lives for what he does!! He explains things in a way anyone can understand and in just a few months he has gotten me from an absolute rookie with NO golfing experience (I did not even know how to hold a club) to.... Well, still a rookie, but a rookie that almost has a fully formed swing! This man is changing my life and I look forward to my lessons with him every Monday. I do not leave a single lesson without a smile on my face! Aside from the instruction, the facility is perfect for someone looking to learn their swing for the first time or improve upon foundations they have already learned. Each lesson and practice will involve 2 camera angles that allow you to play back your swing in slow motion so you can really get a good idea of what you're doing well and what you're doing wrong. After each lesson you also get a recap of your lesson with playback videos and instructor voice overs to walk you through what you just learned so you can continue to build upon it. And if you're a sweaty person like me, it is an incredible privilege to learn in an air conditioned room during a hot Phoenix summer! The only thing I would change about this place is that there isn't ever any music going, so practice sessions feel a little quiet and tend lead to overthinking and frustration (for me, at least). Other than that, this place is amazing and I am so glad I decided to start my golfing journey here. Thank you, Tommy! You are such a treasure!!

In less than a year, I went from missing the ball more often than I hit it to feeling confident about playing a round in public with my husband. Tommy reminds me that I am a work in progress and that I'm always improving. I enjoy Tommy's intuitive teaching style, and I can feel how invested he is in my success. I can't wait to see where the next year takes me with my coach's support.

We loved the small group personal attention we got from our coaches, to include Coach Martin. Not gonna lie, we got to our hotel exhausted each night. Every day was an exercise in deconstructing our bad habits into good ones. That grip, that grip, that grip. I promise at the end of the course you WILL know your correct grip. This makes a huge difference. I learned how to use my irons. I've been "allergic" to my irons because I never knew how to use them. Now I do. Our coaches, Jonas and Mike were problem solvers. They would work with me and keep trying to find the right solution to my issues until they were happy with the results. I can't wait to get to our local golf course to try out my new skills, thanks to Tour Striker Golf Academy. I highly recommend Tour Striker to anyone wanting to sharpen their skills on the golf course. Happy golfing ya'll!!

Perfect Warm-Up for an Epic Arizona Golf Trip! Just landed…read moreat Phoenix Sky Harbor and five minutes later you're pulling into Raven Golf Club wow, what a surprise! This place is so conveniently located that it instantly turns any business trip or quick getaway into a golf adventure. If I ever retire to Phoenix, I'd be hunting for a house right around here in a heartbeat. Most folks picture Arizona golf as nothing but cacti, sand, and rocks baking in the sun. Not here! Raven is an absolute oasis with thousands of mature pine trees lining the fairways, lush rolling greens, strategic bunkers, and stunning views of South Mountain and the valley beyond. It's like a lush Northern Arizona vibe dropped right into the desert beautifully manicured and way more forgiving (and fun) than the typical target-style desert courses. This was our very first stop on a multi-course golf binge, suggested by a friend, and it completely set the tone. Everything only gets better from here, but Raven was the ideal starter: challenging yet playable for all levels, with that championship Gary Panks/David Graham design that keeps you thinking on every shot. The staff was super accommodating and friendly from the moment we arrived. The food? Mouth-watering definitely grab the burger (you won't regret it). Drinks were cold, the vibe relaxed, and the whole experience made it feel like we were kicking off something special. Nothing beats golf in Arizona when the conditions are this good. Raven was the perfect warm-up round, and now I'm hooked scan't wait to hit the rest of the courses on our list! Highly recommend making Raven your first (or only) stop in Phoenix. You won't be disappointed.

The course is still beautiful and back 9 has some good views with beautiful landscape surrounding the course. As for the course, it is in excellent condition with minor brown patches due to the summer heat. Most holes are target golf so Make sure you know where to aim. It is challenging due to undulating fairways and greens where our group truly enjoy the round. Will definitely return when I find good deals on teeoff.com again. Nice golf carts with TuneIn stations. Cooler with ice to chill your canteens. Chill bottled water provided in most comfort stations Friendly OSP and staffs. Bathroom on course: A+

Pros: - cheap - tee boxes and fairways well kept - friendly staff Cons: - large parking lot however it was full and took a while to find parking (lots of vehicles circling looking for parking) - course is tight with all the holes close together and homes surrounding the course - difficult to find your ball on some of the holes because of all the range balls on it I feel this course overall is good for the price. I just wish the pace of play had not been so slow.

He's been there three times this week. I'm sure I'm not the only one who was irritated by this. The worst was when someone asked him which hole he was shooting for, he got extremely confrontational. I also got disrupted on the first tee box from another homeless lady on drugs. Get it together guys.

The decision to close the South Mountain studio is an enormous mistake. This location may be small,…read morebut it embodies everything Orangetheory stands for--community, consistency, and heart. It is truly a "small but mighty" studio that has built something incredibly special. I also want to emphasize that there are no comparable alternatives in this area. For many of us, this studio is not interchangeable with another location--it is our fitness home, and its loss will be deeply felt. Michelle Stanneart is, without question, one of the most dedicated and hardworking employees you have. She carries the roles of head coach, studio manager, and so much more, and does so with an unmatched level of commitment and care. People like Michelle are the reason members stay, grow, and succeed. Closing this studio doesn't just remove a location--it dismantles a community that reflects the very best of the Orangetheory brand.

I LOVE THIS GYM! I…read moredecided to finally get healthy and fit, I'm no longer a spry teenager! To start: this gym is focused on scheduled group classes, it's not a gym that you can come into at any time. One nice thing about this gym is they allow you to try your first class for free. You come in 30 minutes early to get a tour of the gym and get the whole explanation of how it works. I loved my first class, so I signed up! I've been really loving the classes. They go between cardio and weights, so you can focus on different parts of your body during the whole class. The coaches are so great at explaining what to do as well as keeping the motivation up! These classes are great if you're a beginner and don't know how to work out, if you like the group aspect, if you like the motivation of coaches and other gym goers, or if you like structured workouts! Come try a class out, it's free! This gym is a bit pricy, but I think it is worth it for where I am in life at the moment.
