GRAYHAWK - RAPTOR

Grayhawk Golf Club hosts two championship golf courses. Bigger and bolder than its sister golf course to the south (Talon), the Raptor Course takes off, soaring and scoring to new heights. Built by architect Tom Fazio, the Raptor is guaranteed to knock your golf socks off, especially if you're not firing on all cylinders. The signature hole is the 174-yard eighth hole, a unique par-3 dubbed "Aces & Eights." The layout includes extensive mounding and massive bunkering, as well as shot-making pushed to the edge. It's not for beginners, and even seasoned players will struggle when elements push the Raptor's claws into the attack position. At the same time, it's an awesome stretch of golf from the very first hole to the closer, like a par-5 oddity that plays to a par-4 for professionals.
