Played today. No warning from staff that we were behind a hackers outing. After playing 3 holes in an hour, we quit after 14. Just really disappointing from some place that usually has things managed.

Hole in One

My friend had a hole-in-one on hole 7 today!

my suggestion would be to put sand on all carts to fill in diviots instead of the middle of fairways.

Great course!!

Challenging Green Complexes

Our trip to play Ravisloe was well worth the drive. Although we had to park remotely due to a wedding taking place in the afternoon, the club provided shuttle service from our car to the clubhouse. The pro shop attendant and starter let us tee off early to get in front of a foursome that had not yet checked in. The course conditions were generally excellent with the exception of non-repaired ball marks on the greens and a few fairway locations that were bare - presumably due to the excessive rain earlier in the season. The green complexes can be very challenging as there are deep bunkers with steep faces existing on every green. Most of the greens have a good amount of slope and undulations that can make for some tricky putts. A few of the greens have false fronts or are crowned - typical of a Donald Ross design. The course is not excessive in length, but strategy is still required from the tee to green.

No two holes are the same which makes for an enjoyable round. The only true negative issue was the limited number (2) of water fountains available on the course. It was humid during our round and the lone water station on each nine was insufficient. After the round, we celebrated an ace recorded in our group on the 11th hole with a refreshing beverage at the clubhouse outdoor bar!

Did Greenskeeper quit?

Greens were in very poor shape. It doesn't appear the clientele cares much about improving their ball divots, but the course management should address this at least each day by giving them a review, Also surprised to see so many brown-out patches throughout the course. Lastly, course of play was awful. A foursome ahead of us seemed more interested in talking on cell phones than keeping a good pace. There were 4 holes wide open ahead of them when we rounded the 14th green.

Nice Old School Course

Very cool clubhouse and garden when driving up. The course is very nice but needs to be maintained a little better to be a tip top course. There is some dead grass in the fairway, bunkers are not super prestine. On the back 9 it felt like half the holes were 400 yard par 4. A little more variance would be nice. All the approach shots are well designed.

A gem of a course

From the moment you drive up, you can tell this is going to be special. The course is 118 years old but shows its age in a good way. Elegant design, well maintained, clubhouse with great drive-up appeal. I expected to see people in their plus-fours on the course and white dinner jackets in the dining area. Well worth many return visits.

Best Chicago area course

This Don Cook track is a gem. Walkable. Many different looks. No two holes even similar. Short number 5 is perilous. The course is in great shape. Precision over power but length is a plus on 9. Try your best to stay even par in the hollow. Have fun. It’s that good.
