The Raven Golf Club at Three Peaks is touted as the best mountain golf course in Colorado and even one of the best courses in the country. Towering forests of pine and aspen frame the rolling fairways and manicured greens on this scenic layout. The crystal clear creeks and trout-filled lakes are a striking contrast to the lush green of the course and the snow-capped peaks in the distance. The golf course is known for more than its scenery though, its challenging design is a test for all skill levels. The steep-faced bunkers have deeply furrowed edges, which can be tricky but they also serve to contain tee shots that might have an increased carry because of the course's dramatic elevations. There are also water hazards to contend with on several holes.

Don't Miss this Course at these prices

This is an amazing course. I golf throughout Eagle and Summit counties, pretty much exclusively on mountain courses. This is a top favorite of mine. The GolfNow and late-season rates are unbeatable. I wish I could play it this cheap in prime shape in July, but the staff keeps this course in great condition clear through mid-November. Pace of play is usually great, although got paired up with an elder couple that certainly slowed things down. I'll be back out there again this fall with these prices still going.

Great layout, good price, fall conditions, horrible starter

Some cool holes with lots of elevation. Fair course if you are hitting drives straight, it will be a long day if you are even a bit wayward. Usually greens are fast like two weeks ago the pins were placed on diabolical slopes, but much slower due to sand. I hit avg score 74 but several one putts (total 26) mostly because I chose to use wedge to fly to pin & could be aggressive with putts. I booked via phone online and didn't see the "aeration warning". My fault there, but it explains why Golfnow offered $30 + book fee. Weather was fantastic, nice playing partners & only course in Summit County still open. Biggest complaint was starter, that guy is one cranky SOB. I live in Silvy so arrived 30 mins early to hit the range, but the clock there is not correct. I still arrived to 1st tee (per my Samsung Sprint phone# about 2 min prior to t time, but the starter allowed the others to go early. He barked at me right away and told him to calm down, then he chose to escalate things which I thought was rude then I told him he had a bad attitude. I work in retail & resorts for last several years, and have never argued with a customer or guest like this. This guy should be fired. Turns out we caught up to group in front but no starter/ranger around to push play along. Management should worry more about slow play. We stopped in bar #window closed) after 9th just to allow group in front move on so we didn't have to wait on each hole, but this group stopped too then rushed to 10th tee when they saw us. Overall it was 4.5 hours so our speed of play was on average. Just wondering how a group with 3 players hitting off silver tees + 1 lady hitting off gold catch up to a group of guys after 4 holes?

Unfortunately downhill

Played this course 8 years ago when it was owned by Intrawest, it was my favorite course.

When I played it on 10.4.205, the driving range tipped me off. Very few balls, and those that were there were muddy.

The course has gone downhill. Fairway's were punched and tons of punched debris littered the fairways. Weeds in the sand traps, the Columbine flowers were gone and the greens were bumpy/poor.

8 years ago, it was a 10, today it is 6.5 in my book. Paid $50 to ride, not worth the $100 or so during peak season.

Slow. slow play

I had played this course 8 - 10 times previously and enjoyed it. This time it took 6 hours to complete the round, It was "exhausting"

Green were in pretty rough shape for the most part.

Still beautiful scenery. We saw moose, foxes and hawks.

Playing the Raven under fall colors

Great time of the year to play mountain golf. Course was in good condition with the exception of a couple of greens that needed work. Fall colors were beautiful and overall experience was very good. I would certainly go back again. Golf Now discounts made the cost of play very affordable.

Not worth the money

While, not my first at The Raven, it was most likely my last. Course conditions definitely did not warrant the $90 price I paid. In the past conditions have been much better and cost was much less. The other factor was the 5 hour pace of play. It was a weekend round, but the course marshals we ran into just didn't seem to care about the situation. Their response when asked about the slow play and numerous backups was "at least the weather is nice".

Mountain Course Extraordinaire

Thoroughly enjoyed the round. The course was spectacular and the staff was especially friendly. We found a 'Hot Deal' rate but would have gladly paid full price for the experience. Should definitely be on the MUST PLAY list while in the Summit/Eagle county area.

Excellent course and majestic scenary

I really like the course layout and course condition. The greens were true and reasonably fast. The elevation changes were much more dramatic than I had originally thought. Beautiful course. Also, the wildlife can be seen throughout the course.
One downside. The Club accepted a 7:03 AM tee time knowing full well that there is a high likelihood of a frost delay at this time of the year.

Super course

Spectacular course in design, condition and environment. Fun to play. Challenging for sure but different tee boxes make it easy to tailor your game to the course.

Not one single criticism! From signing in to getting a cart to the exceptional nature of the course and to its exceptional surroundings (including wildlife), would recommend this course to anyone.

Mountain Course

The course was in great shape to play. There is a fair amount of room to land in the fairways but tightens by the greens. Many sand traps guarding them. The GPS helps but they also have the prisms on the flag sticks for laser link. A tough but mostly fair course. The greens are hard so tough to stick the ball and there is plenty of movement on the greens. Fast but smooth & true. I did not like the few greens that sloped to the rear as the balls ran off even with a good approach. Knowing that now, I will play them differently the next time. Pricey the first time but there are deals if you play there again.

What a shame...

There are three courses in the keystone/silverthorne area that I used to absolutely love playing. The Ranch, the River and the Raven. After 2 years in CA, I returned to CO and have been pestering friends to get back to the mountains and play all three, with the Raven as a top one, along with the River course at Keystone.
I'm sad to say that the course, inclusive of the greens and patches over many of the fairways, have dropped in standard. They charge an baffling $150 for what is now a course that only really justifies half of that at the very most.
The course starter was exceptionally nice and friendly, however after that we saw no one else. I played in a 3 ball and we were behind a 4 who were truly in no rush at all. Which, to be honest is fair enough when you think that could have paid $600 to play. The reason I mention this is to explain that we waiting for up to 25 minutes on almost every hole with no site of anyone monitoring pace of play. Still, just short of 5:50 hours is good with a cart right haha???
No idea whether you want my 2 cents worth, however, I would certainly recommend checking out other courses for the experience as the only thing going for this course at the moment is the view and for the money, there are far better options in Breckenridge, Keystone and Vail. Moving forward, I'll be taking my game almost anywhere else. Sorry Raven, but you are in poor shape :(

Since the redesign this course is much more playable. Amazing elevation changes, the only drawback was that the fairways were soaked and mushy in spots. Beautiful and challenging.

Bad Expierence at the Raven

Our family experience at the Raven golf course was lees then pleasant. My wife, son, and myself were paired up with a twosome, and the starter had a definite problem with my wife and son playing. The starter asked if our son would be playing and we said yes. At that time the starter was very unfriendly and stated we needed to keep pace. We teed off and started our round the pace of play was slow and we were held up on the tee box and on our second shots. We were on #7 when the marshal approached us and asked if our son was playing we replied yes, he then said we would need to pay a jr fee witch at the time of check in the golf shop stated we (DID NOT) have to pay for our 7yr old to play. (the only nice thing that happened all day) anyway after being irritated by the marshal now, I politely asked the marshal to do his job and keep the pace of play moving as our group again had been held up on every hole. We made the turn and went on to play the back 9 not once seeing a refreshment cart. Aside from the gentleman who checked us in the overall experience at that course was unpleasant at best. I would not recommend this course unless the starter and marshal passed a course in personnel relations. Not a pleasant experience for my family. FYI the other courses we played that weekend were more then friendly and happy to have guests visit their facility.
