The Ravines Golf Club

First time playing this course, had the most amazing experience. Fairways and Greens were pristine! One of my favorite courses I have ever played on, highly recommend playing here whenever you get the chance.

When designing this course, Arnie simply tried to challenge the golfer on every shot. Laid out so beautifully, a golfer simply cannot get too upset as they mark their double bogey on the card, clean the sand off their wedge and crack open another blue light. Greens roll well with Arnie fortified bunkers surrounding them. The only thing preventing me from giving 5 Stars was the pace of play and ignorance of staff to rectify poor pace of play. They allowed a group of 8 golfers play together and this severely slowed the pace. There were multiple back ups, and many groups left behind us because they didn’t feel like wasting their labor day Saturday being screwed twice, by Arnie and the negligence.

Excellent course and layout. Cart path only today so def. got my steps in. Greens were in great condition.

Took my son out for 18 before he headed back to college and had a great day. Course was in great condition, weather was about perfect and the pace of play was reasonable for a Saturday afternoon.

Don't worry about some reviews - If you think you will be annoyed like Steve Martin in the movie Planes, trains, and automobiles, I am here to sooth your fears. Planes, yes - too cool though. Jumbo jets you could almost touch, the back draft like I've never experienced. we stopped to take photos. Did NOT detract from experience. Trains - one, well maintained train track through property. Never saw a train. Autos - You could briefly hear or see I-96 and Rt 6 but the golf course swept through so many forests and glens and beautiful scenery and well groomed course, the highways were barely noticeable. Beautiful clubhouse, and stunning course equal to some private clubs.

Played after 3:00 PM with twilight rate excellent value, fun course to play will be back for sure.

My wife and I got to the course 15 minutes early for our tee time. I grabbed our bags and my wife went in to get couple drinks as it was about 90 degrees out. She came right back out of the clubhouse and said "they told me we need to get up on the tee box it's time to go!" We get to #1, there's a group that had just pulled away. The starter was there and told us we were being paired with another 2some, we wait 5-10 minutes before they showed up. I asked if there was a beverage cart and he told me yes. Average pace of play on the front 9, didn't see the beverage cart a single time. Stopped into the clubhouse at the turn. No one running the bar... Go over to the proshop and there's 3 highschool/college age young men arguing about schedules who ignored me. Once I got their attention I asked about beverage cart, they said "it's out there." I told them we had just completed the front 9 and not seen a cart the whole time and that there was no one tending the bar, they seemed less than concerned. Finally a bar tender showed up as the group behind us pulls up to the clubhouse. We order a couple drinks and some waters. We head off on #10 and the cart girl pulls up before we even finish #10. Obviously at that point we're all set. That was the first and last time I saw a beverage cart. Couple greens burned up on the back, nbd... Finished the round and pulled up to the cart return waiting for assistance cleaning clubs, no one showed. Not happy with this visit.

Nothing like playing an Arnold Palmer designed course on a perfect West Michigan summer afternoon. The greens are perfect, bunker sand is great and the layout is very fun and visually challenging.

Brothers rule

My brothers and I like to try and golf on Saturday mornings a friend suggested the Ravines. From the moment we drove into the

Facilitie it was a first class course. It was very challenging but fair we enjoyed everything about this course. You must give it a try.

Great track. Unique holes. Great condition. Reminds me a lot of Tullymore.

Was recommended by a friend who know Michigan golf

Great value and we will be back

i don't like target golf. long stretches of swamp across the fairway make it difficult to know where to hit it. elbow greens with bunkers in front make it difficult for senior golfers to drop a shot 175 yards over traps, swamps ect.

I had the pleasure of playing the Ravines Golf Club on July 14, 2020, with five other buddies. All I can say is WOW. This course is a must play if you are in the Saugatuck area. The course was in excellent shape from tee to green. All the staff from the restaurant/bar to the carts were friendly and respectful, during this COVID crisis. The only drawback the six of us had, was the lack of yardage books, GPS or scorecards with a map showing the routing of the course, which is sorely needed when playing this course for the first time. All the carts that had GPS were already taken and they were using temporary scorecards with no routing or map. If I could give 4.9 stars; that would be the only reason. But since I can’t, I will give the full five stars. I will definitely be back in the near future.

With the senior rate it was like we were stealing! These course is a great track and in great condition.
