The Raven Golf Club at Three Peaks

we were informed, upon arrival, that the greens had just been aerated & sanded but the rest of the course was in great shape. NOT TRUE.
There were several areas of small water & mud patches. The fairways had several areas which were dry with barely any grass.
The outside staff were cordial and the starter was EXCELLENT, (he was the only highlight of the course.

The leaves were in full splendor at The Raven this weekend, which was the single best part of playing this course, the foliage. - truly stunning.

The conditions however were borderline disrepair. The back nine had tons of ground under repair, broken cart paths, and a pace that most snails could beat.

The staff was OK in terms of Starter and Cart Guys, but the check-in staff were downright rude and frankly nonexistent, we had to wait 10-minutes to find someone who could check us in!

For the price, we were disappointed in Pace, Condition, and Staff

The high-=season color was the only saving grace.

Glad we played, but don't believe there will be a return visit in our future.

The pace of play was ridiculously slow to the point where we didn’t even get all 18 in at one .4 groups were on one hole there was a wedding so amenities weren’t available, including no cart girl

Loved this course last year. Several spots on course are under repair this year. Dead spots on greens and many wet fairway spots.

Pace of play was 5 hrs plus. Course, its infrastructure, and clubhouse have obviously been starved for capital that's necessary to repair and maintain every aspect of this golf club. That said, the course has great bones and many dramatic holes. However, it's overpriced relative to its competitors.

This is my third round in a row where the pace of play was embarrassing... 5 1/2 hours+!
We tee'd off at 2pm thinking we'd be done at 7 pm... worst case scenario. So dark on 17 and 18 we finished in the black of night and were worried we were going to die driving back to the clubhouse in the dark!
The clubhouse was shut down and locked up when we arrived we had to pee in the woods.
We've always loved the new course design by Tom Lehman,...and he newer white sand bunkers are awsome and really make the place pop. Still some funky/soaky spots but generally the bang-for-the-buck is there via GolfNow pricing.
They need to get a marshal out there and help the slow folks along. I wont take any clients until the speed of play gets fixed and I'm now warning all friends and family that this is a common problem at this course... so expect it... all days of the week.

Nice mountain course. Views spectacular. Pricey for what it is though. Charge for credit card use too which is BS!! Drinks pricey on and off course.They let out an 5some ahead of us which made for a 5 hour round. Tee times not honored teed off 12 late. Greens in good condition but for the average golfer way over the top on slope and pin position making it very difficult and a score killer. Practice area just ok.not many choices up here and all over priced, so reluctantly recommend.

Arrived for tee time the same time a thunderstorm did. Staff was very communicative and accommodating. Got out after the storm ended and everything was great. Course in good condition. Pace of play was perfect. I think this could be my favorite course. We will be back to play again.

The course has quite a few drainage issues which resulted in some rough areas that needed better care both in fairway and first cut.
Our cart needed a tune up and ran pretty rough.
That’s the bad.
It is a beautiful course with grand views and exceptionally challenging holes. Lots of blind dog legs over challenging elevation changes.
It is overpriced for the conditions but a Hot Deal price made it better than reasonable.
Not a course to play if you are not competent off the tee. I was hitting very well off the tee and lost at least 6 balls that I hit exactly where I meant to and the ball either ran thru the fairway or landed in rough where the landing zone was over an elevation hange so I was guessing where to hit it and how far it could run out.
I would play it again on a day that wasn’t expecting some stiff wind and rain but I would probably use cheaper balls 🤨

Course had a few very nice well maintained holes, other holes either had ground under repair on the greens, fairways that were so wet and muddy you couldn't get to your ball, tee boxes that were just dirt and cart paths that were just dangerous other than that the scenery was great

Front nine wonderful but back nine huge drainage issues! Course has been in much better shape in the past still a ton of fun to play great views but a little expensive given current condition.

the course punishes anyone who is in the fairway or the first cut of rough. most of the time it is a lost ball.

Course is excellent. Cart paths need work. Staff is friendly but needed more staff.
