Another great day at Ravisloe.! Tony in the shop is a wonderful man. The tall starter is a great guy too. The greenskeeper is also very nice. Stay out of the bunkers

Early Round

Ravisloe is a nice course and you need to play it a couple times to understand the layout. Greens are smallish, but well bunkered. It helps to position your drives for the best angle into several of the greens.

As with most courses, players need to do a better job of replacing divots and fix ball marks.

A Summer Day in November??

On a spectacular near-80 degree day in Chicago's south suburbs - in November (!?!?), Ravisloe displayed all its beautiful scenes as we made the rounds of this 18-hole venerable old country club. Everything about this round was perfect - weather, conditions (impeccable), pace (under 4 hours), amenities (quiet electric carts, snack bar at the turn), clubhouse (stately, vintage building from a by-gone era), even my score was quite acceptable! Nothing to complain about at all. The golf challenge is intermediate - nothing extremely long or difficult - but a fair test for the average golfer. You must play this beauty! See photos.

Wonderful country club experience

Everything about the experience was reminiscent of the classic and timeless country club golf.

Received a call in the morning that the overnight frost was delaying tee times, with staff friendliness and service continuing as we got to the course. The golf shop staff was friendly and informative. The Starter was accommodating and flexible in our start time, and came to the range to let us know when we could tee off. Beverage cart service was seen often on the course without being obtrusive.

The course has a tight compact layout and many golfers walked the course, but we still finished our round with 4.5 hours. The course layout has plenty of bermed sand traps to challenge any golfer, but they are in good shape and playable. The greens, fairways and roughs are all in great shape.

Ravisloe is now one of my favorites, I will definitely go back.

Practice Round

Some guys really love this course but to each their own. This course makes for great practice round or fine tuning your irons for the better player. With the exceptions of the par 5's you can just leave the driver in the bag and really you don't need it there either. Hit irons or hybrid off the tee and practice some different shots. The undulation of the greens calls for better shots into certain flags which makes it a little more fun the more times you play this course. Because of the length this course plays pretty easy overall.

Staff isn't the friendliest, bordering rude. The course plays super short but is in decent shape with the green speeds and lack of raking bunkers my only complaint. I will only play this course if I can find a deal because it's just not as good as they think.

Although the greens were slow, the pace was slow and the tee boxes were beat up, the course is awesome and we definitely will go back.

It is hard to understand why the pace was so slow, other than the course does present some difficult shots due tot he location and depth of the bunkers.

Short but tough

Not long, but plenty of trouble. Especially the greenside bunkers. Go long because you don't want to get hung up in the long grass. Course in very good shape and well worth the Golfnow price.

A hidden treasure

It's a great golf course with superb greens. All holes are reachable and you can spot the flag easily even on dog legs. Lots of trees and require a more precise tee shot. I played on a weekday and pace was excellent. I heard that in weekend it's get crowded and so the pace of play gets slower, so please check on it. Bunkers are wisely placed and I recommend to play safe to be on GOR. Overall it's a decent course. I got a hot golf now deal on weekday so that's almost a steal.

Bush league

Went and played Ravisloe in the late afternoon in a foursome . Archie, whomever he is, tried to run us off the course with the threat of rain. When that didn't work (since it never ranined) he ran us off the course because the official sunset was at 815 even though there're was plenty of light to let us finish the round. When I questioned him and asked to speak with the manager, he proceeded to threaten to call the police. Stay away, there are plenty of courses that appreciate golfers and the business.

Course in good shape

Overall good experience at Ravisloe. Staff was very friendly inside pro shop and provided yardage booklet to help me navigate course. Greens were very slow and grainy. Course is short but you have to think about where to put the ball which made it a challenge. Would recommend it.

As expected

I have wanted to play this course. I was not disappointed one bit. Cancellations caused a bit of turmoil on the first tee, but after that I loved it. Great track! Tee box, fairway and greens outstanding. Rangers doing their job. Will be back here.

Stealing

This place is a steal if you get it for a hot deal. Course was in excellent shape tee to green. Caught it on a semi-stormy day so we flew around. Awesome layout with no 2 holes the same. Can't pass it up for a hot deal. I would probably even pay full price for an afternoon time.
