Nestled in the majestic Gore Mountain Range, Silverthorne's Raven Golf Club at Three Peaks, offers panoramic vistas at every turn, winding through towering Colorado pines, quaking aspens, crystal-clear creeks and pristine alpine lakes. The challenging but playable Tom Lehman and Hurdzan/Fry design features lush, rolling fairways and stretches 5,235 yards from the forward tees, all the way to 7,413 yards from the tips. The course's unique native-grass bunkers create a dramatic contrast to the emerald green of the fairways. The Raven received numerous industry awards, including being named to Golf Magazine's prestigious "Top 10 You Can Play in the U.S." list.

Breckenridge Golf Club

Jack Nicklaus' one and only municipal design, the Breckenridge Golf Club is situated in a beautiful mountain valley at an elevation of 9,324 feet. At this elevation the golf ball flies farther and straighter than at lower elevations, as there is less air resistance. The course has four sets of tees so that each golfer may select the challenge equal to their game. From the Nicklaus tees on the Elk-Beaver rotation, the course plays 7,145 yards and has a course rating of 73.5, with a slope rating of 151. This set of tees has the second most difficult course rating in the state and presents a challenge for even the best golfer. Each set of tees plays to a par 72. All three courses offer panoramic views of the Rockies, and it is not uncommon to spot elk and deer on the greens, and occasionally, a wayward moose or bear.
