The Raven Golf Club at Three Peaks
Played On 07/26/2017Poor value mountain course
I'm a 12 index from N.C., and just played Breckenridge 2 days ago. I had high hopes here today but was sorely disappointed. Changed my tee time to beat the rain but had to pay $117. The course layout is designed well and scenery is amazing but all holes have significant elevation changes. I loved hitting a 330 yd drive on 9 but there are several blind uphill pins as well. Gas carts chugged slowly up the hills and the cart GPS is a hand held device that doesnt show maps.
Now the conditions; many fairways and approach areas are overlay saturated while greens are rock hard. Hit lots of high approach shots onto greens but couldn'f find a ball mark or hold a green. Fairways have lots of divots, bare spots, and #5 greenside bunkers are under repair. Most bunkers are heavy grained sand, wet, and sand depth was shallow. Weeds in some. The greens were the most disappointing aspect for this course. Huge undulations on most with pins in crazy locations on crests of slopes. The quality of the greens is very poor. Very uneven grass quality with lots of Poa weeds and sand. Didn't appear to have mown today.
The staff was mostly friendly but the snack bar was unable to cook a hot dog due to maintenance.
Overall, the course seems like it was once excellent but until they address these issues, I do not recommend this course.

My new fav MB course. Played 18 before it got too windy. Excellent layout, conditions (perfect greens) and great staff. Don't miss this one.
