The Club at Ravenna




About this course
The Club at Ravenna sits in Littleton, a suburb southwest of Denver, where Jay Morrish designed a course that works with the rolling terrain characteristic of Colorado's Front Range. Morrish, who collaborated with Tom Weiskopf on several notable Rocky Mountain designs before establishing his own practice, brings his experience with high-altitude golf and dramatic topography to this layout. The course occupies land that transitions between prairie grassland and the foothills, offering views toward the mountains while playing through elevation changes that influence both strategy and club selection. The routing takes advantage of natural contours and incorporates water features that come into play on several holes. Morrish's design philosophy emphasizes strategic options rather than penal hazards, giving players choices in how they navigate each hole based on their skill level and risk tolerance. The bunkering style and green complexes reflect his preference for visual clarity, where players can see what the hole asks of them from the tee and fairway. Ravenna operates as a private club serving the Littleton and greater Denver community. The facility includes practice areas and clubhouse amenities typical of Colorado's suburban private clubs, where year-round play is possible during mild weather windows but seasonal closures occur during winter months. The course provides a home venue for members seeking a Morrish design without traveling to more remote mountain locations, offering the architect's strategic sensibilities in a more accessible setting near the metro area.

Getting there
The Club at Ravenna is most easily reached via Denver International Airport (DEN), situated approximately 30 miles northeast of the club, with a straightforward 45-minute drive south and west through the suburban corridors of the Denver metropolitan area before arriving in the quiet foothills community of Littleton. For those traveling by private aircraft, Colorado Air and Space Port (FTG) in Fort Lupton offers a closer alternative, though DEN remains the primary gateway for most visitors. The final miles unfold along tree-lined roads that signal the transition from urban sprawl into the more serene, residential character of the South Platte River valley, where The Club at Ravenna sits nestled among mature cottonwoods and native grasses - a sanctuary of manicured elegance set against the distant rampart of the Rocky Mountain Front.
