About Raven Golf Club at Three Peaks
Opened in 2000, Raven Golf Club at Three Peaks was
designed by Dr. Michael Hurdzan, Dana Fry (Hurdzan/Fry Environmental
Golf Design) and British Open Champion and PGA Tour player Tom Lehman.
It was the fourth "Raven" branded course in America and remains the only
Raven facility in Colorado.
Raven Golf Club at Three Peaks is a rare
combination of a championship layout set against a panorama of towering
pines, snow-capped mountains, mountain streams and wildflower meadows.
In creating one of the great golf experiences in the American West,
Hurdzan/Fry and Lehman utilized the routing of the former Dick's
Phelps-designed Eagle's Nest Golf Course to create a playing surface on
which every hole, landing area and shot value maintains its design
integrity and takes advantage of the site's natural terrain.
The front nine climbs toward the upper reaches of
the golf course, culminating at the 533-yard, par-5 sixth hole
("Warriors Mark"), the highest point on the golf course. In plain view
from the tee box are the signature "Three Peaks" for which the course is
named. The back nine flows across the distinctive mountainous terrain,
leveling off relative to roller-coast ride out yet still choc-full of
dramatic shot-making.
Raven Golf Club and Three Peaks closes with one of
the strongest finishing stretches Colorado, with the final four holes
providing a PGA Tour-level ending to an unforgettable round of golf. The
601-yard, par-5 16th features a 150-foot drop from the tee to the
landing area below. It is an unforgettable prelude to the two final par
4s, stout two-shotters measuring 468 and 448 yards, respectively.
Unique to the region, Raven Golf Club at Three
Peaks' bunkers are patterned after the distinctive style first
introduced by Alister Mackenzie at Cypress Point, Royal Melbourne, and
Kingston Heath. Steep faces and deep furrowed edges give way to native
grasses perched at the edge of the sand. In addition to being visually
dramatic, the "Mackenzie bunkers" frame the golf course and help contain
tee shots that can have up to a 10-percent increase in carry due to the
course elevation.
Raven Golf Club at Three Peaks 12,400-square-foot
clubhouse features a "strong and clean" Alpine architectural style with
a "mountain lodge" post-and-beam interior. It houses a fully-equipped
pro shop, the "Raven Grill" serving breakfast, lunch and dinner, a
member's locker room with ample space for meetings and special events. A
variety of membership levels are available for golfers desiring the
benefits of a semi-private facility.
