Ravenna Golf Club

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I play Ravenna Golf Club if I'm not a member?

Ravenna is a private, member-owned club, so direct public tee times aren't available. Your best bet is to play as a guest of a member, which we highly recommend if you get the chance. Occasionally, they host charity events or corporate outings that might offer a rare opportunity to experience the course.

What makes Ravenna's course design stand out, and how challenging is it?

Ravenna truly shines with its dramatic elevation changes and strategic bunkering, carved right into the foothills of the Rocky Mountains. You'll find a fair but firm test, especially with the wind that can swirl through the canyons, demanding precise shot-making and smart course management. We particularly love the stretch from holes 6 through 9, where the views are as breathtaking as the golf.

When is the best time of year to play Ravenna for ideal conditions?

We always recommend late spring (May-June) or early fall (September-October) for the most enjoyable golf at Ravenna. The summer months can get quite warm, and while the course is meticulously maintained, the cooler shoulder seasons offer perfect playing temperatures and often less wind. Plus, the fall foliage against the red rock formations is simply stunning.

What's the overall experience like at Ravenna beyond the golf course itself?

Ravenna offers a complete luxury experience, not just 18 holes. The clubhouse is magnificent, providing excellent dining options with incredible views - perfect for a post-round meal or just soaking in the scenery. Their practice facilities are top-notch, and the staff provides genuinely warm, attentive service that makes you feel like a valued guest from the moment you arrive.

How do the Colorado mountain views impact the golf experience at Ravenna?

The views at Ravenna aren't just a backdrop; they're an integral part of the experience, influencing your perspective and often your shot selection. You'll be playing against a stunning panorama of red rock formations and the distant snow-capped Rockies, especially memorable on holes like the par-3 16th. It's easy to get distracted by the sheer beauty, so remember to focus on your swing!
