Where Life Approaches Perfection...
When crossing the threshold of The
Club at Ravenna, you’ll immediately sense the secluded environment of this unique private golf community. Defined by unpretentious luxury, its warm environment reflects a commitment to providing unparalleled service, from world-class golf and fitness to wines and fine dining.
Our new clubhouse, Villa Ravenna, mirrors this philosophy with imported marble and commissioned frescoes that are reminiscent of oldworld Ravenna, Italy.
Specially-selected wines transport diners around the world without leaving tables set under the barrelvaulted ceiling of the private event space, Buona La Prima (Beautiful the First Time). The European sommelier pilots a private wine society with access to rare, new or unheralded vintages from near and far.
An exquisitely equipped health club offers scenic mountain views, inspiring classes and a dedicated team of trainers, pros and therapists who design and track each member’s custom fitness program.
At every turn, members find surprising and thoughtful nuances woven into a tapestry of superior quality and attention to detail.
Ravenna’s small membership cultivates the time and space necessary for a continuous, unsurpassed and personalized private club experience. Consider the possibilities of this premier golf club set to redefine club membership — The Club at Ravenna.
Make Ravenna your home course
...And Golf is a Way of Life
The Club at Ravenna is about the
total golf experience.
It starts with an eminently playable course for all skill levels, designed by renowned architect Jay Morrish. The par-71 course consistently ranks among the toprated golf venues in the state and the nation—partly because its natural beauty is unsurpassed. Its fluid pace of play is complemented by readily available tee times.
The experience thrives due to meticulous care by groundskeepers who use state-of-the-art tools and tactics to lessen the environmental footprint and ensure the best possible playing surface. Ravenna was also the first regional course to deploy remote sensing and mapping technology to gauge moisture and grass density through visual, thermal, high- and low-infrared imaging collected by a daily drone flight.
The club’s passion for the best golf experience extends to Ravenna’s valued members with the “Fit for Golf” program, engineered with the expert guidance of Lance Gill Performance. The six-month program concentrates on improving swing speed through a coordinated plan prepared by a trainer, golf pro and physical therapist.
As Ravenna has redefined the full meaning of golf club membership, so in turn has its staff. Schedule a visit today and experience the difference.
