Great challenege!

I loved this course ... it was on the shorter side, but it really made you think about where to miss, where to leave approach shots (above or below the hole, etc.) Had to hit both draws and fades off the tee. A couple good birdie opportunities. Highly recommend!

4.5 Stars Another lovely day at Ravi

Simply put one of the best fun old schoolers you can play in Chicagoland. A gem and we're lucky to have access to it. It was busy...pace was never an issue....played in well under 4 hours mid afternoon! Conditioning was very good except the greens - a little slower and bumpy than I've experienced over the past few years. Other than than everything was great. 1/4 star downgrade on the greens and I'm dinging them another 1/4 star because none of their on course domestic beer selections (budweiser products mainly) is my wheelhouse and their on course import list seems to lack creativity as well. $52 senior rate is very fair and decent value for the quality of the course and facilities. Highly recommended.

Great course a little pricey

This course has been on my list to play for a while! Its a must play 1 time course for the price. I think it is a bit much for the course. Although I went on Sunday when it costs more. 89.00. I had a great time and the pace of play was great considering everyone is just about foursomes. The only thing I didnt care for is pairing up players walkers sre with carts. It wasn't as bad as i thought it would be but walkers should be with walkers and csrts with carts. I was lucky enough to be paired with a fun 2 some but with the covid issue I prefer to play with the party I came with. Its a country club so I understand some things are different than regular courses. Overall great expierence!

Always fun to play here

Always in decent shape rough is alittle.high and greens were alittle baked but everything's always good here. Outdoor dining after and good food. Yeah now that its getting hotter hopefully they dont let the greens get to squirrelly and lost a few balls in the thick rough that hadnt been mowed but no big deal its golf and it was fun on a beautiful day!

Great track

Beautiful, challenging course. Was a little slow pace around 4:20, Marshall was pretty active trying to get people in front we were waiting on to speed up but they were a little slow. Course is short but punishing.
