Denver area luxury golf community opens new clubhouse called The Club at Ravenna, a private, luxury golf community nestled in the red-rock foothills near Denver, has opened its new 25,000 square foot “Villa Ravenna” clubhouse, capping an eight-year program of improvements for what is now one of Colorado’s most prestigious golf clubs, with a course ranked more than ten years running among Golf Week’s top residential courses in America.
“Villa Ravenna is our crown jewel – the fulfillment of our multi-year plan to transform Ravenna into a full-service, top-tier private golf club ranked among the best private clubs in Colorado and across America,” said Kevin Collins, owner, president and CEO.
Construction began in July 2020. The clubhouse blends Italian old-world-style, casual elegance and cutting-edge technology. It opened to members in July 2022.
While meeting all of Ravenna’s practical needs, the new building also generates an elegant, unpretentious and friendly ambience. By design, its interior is bathed in rich textures and colors, accented by iron and crystal fixtures, imported marble, commissioned mosaics and frescoes. The frescoes adorn the main dining room while the mosaic, in the style of sixth-century Ravenna, is displayed in the wine cellar.

The cellar features an extensive collection from around the world curated by the club’s European-trained sommelier. Next to the wine cellar, the wine grotto features a hand-built, barrel-vaulted masonry ceiling, reminiscent of Italian architecture — a memorable setting for any special occasion.
The clubhouse sports the latest in digital technology. Ravenna’s own app enables members to seamlessly book weekend tee times and head to the greens – no lotteries! Outside, Toptracer Range technology revolutionizes the driving range experience.

A limited number of memberships are still available. Residency is not required. In fact, a majority of the members live outside the community. Denver area luxury golf community opens new clubhouse
