Great old course

If you like old, well preserved golf courses this is a gem and a must play. It plays short at just under 6400 yds but the challenges are evident on every shot.

Ravisloe - Always in superior condition

This course is always in superb condition. I love the sand traps as they actually contain real sand. A lot of other courses today hardly put any sand in them. Bring your Lawrence of Arabia gear, as you will find yourself in many a sand trap, as they are plentiful. I love this course, even if I don't always score well, do to my own mistakes. The staff is great as is there set up to get your cart.

No amenities

Great course Except the driving range was closed. No on course cart person. Starter was asking for a tip to let us go 15min early. Tee time was 7:30am must have teed off right after they drenched the course with water it was so wet everywhere my shoes and sox were completely wet just from walking The fairway. Great course but need to step up there on and off course amenities driving range and don't always the employees to ask for money.

Course maintenance is excellent. Everything was in very good condition. Pace of play on a Friday 3:30 tee time was also very good. Would definitely recommend this course especially at the twilight rates. Can't wait to play here again.

Old School course with well guarded greens

Was a delight to play, golf course played old school and had a lot of charm. Greens were well guarded by sand traps and greens have some undulation.

Ravisloe Two Days in a Row!

Truly love the course. The staff this season is on point from the pro shop, cart staff and starters. The course was in very good shape. Late afternoon traffic on the greens showed late Saturday but still every inch of the course was beautiful. Ravisloe is a hidden gem that if found would be a spot on anyone's rotation.

Love the Layout

You need to play this course! Old style layout which means bunkers were strategically placed and greens were challenging if you were on the wrong side of the subtle ridges. Staff was very friendly, particularly the starter "Mr. Spencer", great personality and very helpful for this first timer. Go play this one.

Incredible!

First, I'd like to start out by giving you a little understanding of my background and my experience with golf. I have been in the game since I was 10 years old, now 28. I've played every top rated public course in Illinois and about 10 different premiere private country clubs in Illinois as well many other top public/private courses in a handful of other states.

How I managed not to come here sooner is beyond me, but I'm more then thrilled to have finally played and will continue to play here as much as I can. Also I actually played here twice since Sunday because of how impressed I was.

Any negative review you read or hear and should allow yourself to believe or consider would be some kind of misunderstanding and common understandable thing that will and can happen because people make mistakes. Like "The cart girl wasn't around enough, or the ranger was rude. Pace of play sucked. (which none of this was true for my experience but can happen anywhere you go)" Even these things aren't justifiable for not coming to play this course and enjoying it just as much I do and will continue to.

Course is not long, 6400 for the back tees but with some soon to come and in the process renovations, #14 tee box is being extended to turn into a par 5. Aside from the length maybe not appealing to you golfers with egos, I hit the ball long and prefer a longer course, but not once did it bother me. Extremely well manicured and taken care of. Condition of the course is the best Ive seen so far this season and I've already played Highlands of Elgin, Bowes Creek, Thunderhawk, Whistling Straights, Blackstone and Stonewall Orchard (All gems). By all means, non of these other and favorite courses of mine were in bad shape but just not as well as blossomed as here. It's really even hard for me to say that because its more of a weather thing.

I can go on and on about this place but I won't because I barely read reviews when they are this long so I'll finish it up by just saying, if you haven't played here, then you're missing out on a course that stepping up to each tee box you see something so aesthetically pleasing that even if you're playing bad, you will still be able to smile. Don't make the mistake by waiting as long as I did.

I hope you guys end up appreciating and enjoying this place as much as I do.
