Intrawest Golf is a division of Intrawest Corporation. Intrawest ventured into the golf arena because it saw golf as a natural complement to its mountain properties. Golf expands mountain resorts from cold-weather destinations to year-round playgrounds. The expansion began in 1998 with the acquisition of the two well-known Raven Golf Clubs in Arizona. These courses were consistently awarded for their superior layouts and, more importantly, their superior guest service. Since that time, Intrawest Golf has continued its expansion, purchasing the Sandestin Golf and Beach resort and opening three additional Raven Golf Clubs. At present, Intrawest Golf owns and/or manages more than 20 golf courses across the United States and Canada.
