Ravisloe Country Club

As always a great experience here. For the price on Golf Now there is no better value.. Some extreme heat left some brown patches on certain areas but the old beauty and charm are always NO 1 here! We'll definitely be back....

The management needs to think bigger if they want to get this course up to its potential. Right now, using Golf Now, it's a steal.

Course is in great condition. Fairways tight, Greens really role true, and bunkers are consistently fair even though they can be deep. I make the 50 minute drive a few times a summer and I wish I lived closer.

This is easily one of the best courses in the Chicagoland area. The course plays about 6200 from the tips, but the course feels a lot longer. The course is so well kept. The grass is greener, the fairways are in great shape, and the rough is somewhat unforgiving. The greens are small compared to a lot of other courses in the area and are usually heavily guarded by bunkers. Bunkers are everywhere on this course and the bunkers are extremely well kept. The staff is friendly and the food was good. Easily one of the top courses on the South Side.

Course layout was nice. Green were a bit shaggy but its that time of year. Also, there was a bit of slow play . No rangers or food carts out.

The weather started out gloomy and wet but by the end of 18 holes the sun came out and showed the beauty of the course and it's setting. The bunkers are definitely challenging.

I enjoyed the course, but the greens were a bit bumpy and with all the debris on them made putting difficult. they needed to have somebody come out to the greens and blow them off. We tried to hand sweep the stuff away, but it was frustrating and I know on several of my putts and chips the greens cost me some strokes.

Great course in good shape despite rain. A few bunkers need a little more sand. New halfway house is great. Weekends a little expensive, but worth it.

If you are down in the south suburbs this is a must play. Great layout and can find great deals on golf now. Fairways were nice. Tee boxes could be better maintained.

Very long par 4's

I will go back and play the silver tees

Course was in great shape. Layout is challenging. Green have serious undulation. Many sand traps, all with real sand ( not a given in the Chicago area).Thoroughly enjoyed the day.

Overall, this course is a five star rating. I was very impressed with the excellent condition of course. Played the first week of april and will definitely be back to play again and again.

Was it a good course, with some nice Donald Ross features? Absolutely. Is it one of the best public courses in Illinois, deserving to be ranked ahead of Harborside and the Glen Club? Absolutely not, unless Ravisloe is paying you to say so. When I saw the rankings I actually checked to make sure that Ravisloe didn't have two courses and I had played the wrong one, but nope. I was on the right course.

At the end of the day, it's a short course with mostly straight holes, very little course elevation, and poor pace of play. But hey, the greens are in great shape. So there ya go.

One of the last rounds of the season and the course was really in great shape. Tee boxes and fairways were in great shape. Greens smooth with lots of slope, but running a little slow. Lots of bunkers creating a nice framed view down most holes from the fairway. I walked with a pushcart which was very manageable. While a visually appealing old course, I would hesitate to paying the full price listed on their website. Will keep it in mind if they have another special.

Plenty of challenge for any level golfer.
In excellent condition for this time of
year.

This was a fantastic course. I'd heard about it through a coworker and decided to give it a try. Being that it was previously a private course, they've definitely kept that same feel. Just a beautiful old school course with a number of challenges that thankfully aren't too overwhelming. Just enough to get you reconsidering your club choice. Don't pass this course up! It's well worth it.

Took a friend who has never played the course before and after virtually every hole, he said, wow that was a nice hole. The course was in outstanding shape. It looked like the greens were airrated about a week ago and were fast and true. If you were above the hole, good luck! Ravisloe is a good, old fashioned, stright forward course that makes you play shots, especiually around the greens. It was a great value for the money on golf now. if you get the chance to play this gem of a course, do it. you will be very glad that you did.

played 18 with foursome at discount price. Course is in great shape and demanding of good shots to score. Will play again before season closes.

This should be in the "Donald Ross Top 10 List", it was in immaculate condition on Wednesday! Greens were a little shaggy, about an 8 on a Stimpmeter (just a guess - slow). I love Donald, he gives you some wide open fairways so you can feel good about yourself and then, all of the sudden, you walk up to the tee box and he hits you with a wall of trees down the right side! Yikes! Guess where you think your drive is going (#12). With the GolfNow discount I played here for less than $30! This is the guy that designed Pinehurst #2. Go play!

A real gem way South but worth the trip. A great layout. Maintenance of course needs some improvement in some areas especially greens and tee boxes.

The Turkey Cranberry sandwich is excellent!
