About this course

Ravens Claw, carved into the rolling hills of Pottstown, Pennsylvania, presents a formidable challenge steeped in modern design. The course is a brute, favoring the long-ball hitter but demands strategic shot placement with forced carries over natural wetlands, particularly on the back nine. Miss the fairway and you're in the fescue. Designed by Ed Shearon, Ravens Claw doesn't possess a storied tournament history. It stands as a formidable test for the everyday player - one that might humble you, but is also rewarding. The course offers a peaceful escape from the surrounding suburban sprawl. Ravens Claw offers the region's golfers a challenging layout and demanding test. This isn't the type of course that you can walk, but worth the drive on a brisk fall day.

Getting there

The journey to Ravens Claw Golf Club begins at Philadelphia International Airport, roughly an hour's drive northwest into the rolling farmland and wooded hills of Chester County. The route traces the Schuylkill River valley before peeling west on country roads that grow progressively quieter, trading suburban sprawl for stone farmhouses and open pasture. As you near Pottstown, the landscape takes on the gentle, rumpled character of Pennsylvania's Piedmont - a fitting prelude to one of the region's most thoughtfully concealed modern designs, tucked into a landscape that feels far removed from the city left behind.
