ABOUT THE CLUB AT RAVENNA
ABOUT THE CLUB AT RAVENNA
LITTLETON, CO | The Club at Ravenna is a 634-acre private golf and resort lifestyle community located in Waterton Canyon by the Platte River in Southwest Denver, Colorado. It’s Mother Nature’s gift to the game of golf. Tees that feel like you’re on top of the world, rolling fairways framed by ancient sandstone cliffs and monoliths, and the occasional herd of mule deer wandering across the meticulously manicured greens. And the award-winning Jay Morrish 18-hole course can be as competitive or casual as you like.
The club opened a magnificent new clubhouse in August of 2022 featuring all-encompassing member amenities and sweeping views of the dramatic red rocks formation.
