About this course

The Raven at Three Peaks sits at approximately 9,000 feet elevation in Silverthorne, Colorado, making it one of the highest regulation golf courses in North America. Designed by the team of Hurdzan-Fry with input from PGA Tour professional Tom Lehman and opened in 2000, the course occupies dramatic mountain terrain in the heart of Summit County, surrounded by the Gore and Tenmile mountain ranges. The high-altitude setting affects play significantly, with shots carrying farther in the thin air while the short growing season and environmental conditions present unique maintenance challenges. The routing works through natural terrain features including rock outcroppings, native grasses, and stands of pine and aspen. The design incorporates the steep topography rather than fighting it, with elevation changes throughout the round that provide views across the valley and surrounding peaks. Several holes play along or across natural ravines and gullies that give the course its name. The layout requires thoughtful club selection given both the altitude effects and the mountain terrain, with forced carries and uneven lies common. The course serves daily-fee and resort play in a region known primarily for winter skiing, offering summer golf in a genuine alpine environment. The Raven represents one of the more accessible mountain golf experiences in Colorado's high country, located just off Interstate 70 between the resort communities of Breckenridge and Vail.

Getting there

The journey to The Raven Golf Club at Three Peaks begins at Denver International Airport, roughly seventy-five miles to the east, where the urban sprawl of the Front Range quickly yields to the dramatic ascent of Interstate 70 into the Rockies. The westward climb through the mountains - past Idaho Springs, over the Continental Divide, and through the Eisenhower Tunnel - is a study in elevation and anticipation, the air thinning as the highway carves between granite peaks and alpine valleys. Silverthorne sits at the confluence of the Blue River and Tenmile Creek, and the final approach delivers you into Summit County's high-altitude basin, where The Raven unfolds at nearly 9,000 feet beneath the towering silhouettes of Buffalo Mountain and the Gore Range - a setting as breathtaking as it is unforgiving.
