Another Ross Classic

I really enjoy playing Donald Ross courses. I love that the greens are guarded with really gnarly sand traps. My daughter is 4ft 10 inches and pretty much disappeared into 2 of the sand traps. Some of the fairways are a little tight and with the greens being guarded and inverted, the course makes for a tough round. I love the challenge especially since everyone thinks that we need to make courses longer and longer. The guys in the clubhouse were really nice and knowledgeable.

Spectacular Old Course

My favorite place to play. Great layout with lots of trouble, deep traps, many trees, must play a thoughtful round in order to score well. Nice practice area, great outdoor bar area with views of the course from an expansive veranda. Love to play here or just come for lunch when the weather is nice.

Nice old school style course

I course that was rehabbed about 8 years ago but keeping its classic 1901 design not long at just under 6400 years it has pleantyof bunkers to smack down the long hitters some of the bunkers are so deep they have stairs. Nice undulating greens you will have a few three put here some of the par 3’s are lone one at 200 yards one at 225 yards It’s a course that keeps you thinking two par 5 ‘s in the 1 st three holes hit the range 1 st our you may not be ready. I liked course and I will be back in 2018

Duped

Entered the wrong date, should have been the 8th, and not the ninth. When I enquired about the mix up. I was told the I could not get a credit because that group played on that day. I would be reluctant to use this service again.

Had a great time although I ran up on a threesome that must have been beginners or just didn’t have any Golf etiquette cause they wouldn’t let me play through!

Always Great Experience!

As usual, Ravisloe doesn't disappoint. I was able to book a Hot Deal with a discount on Sunday. It was the calm before the storm! I was in a twosome between foursomes and had to hardly wait! Played in under 4 hours. Greens were fast and really good.

Fall Golf

This is what fall golf is all about, playing an excellent golf course at a rock bottom price thru Golf Now.

Played in just over 4 hours. Course couldn't be in any better shape. Greens , sand traps, fairways - all perfect. Staff is very friendly. What a golf course !

Worth the ride to play

Nice course, but Super Slow at the 'Sloe

18 holes took 5.5 hours. Played on a Saturday afternoon. Course layout might contribute the slow play. Back to Back par 5s and Back to Back par 3s.

Conditions were very nice. Lots of pot and greenside bunkers to deal with. Overall i would return, but hope the pace of play is much better.
