Nice classic course

This is an old school course with tighter fairways. The greens are very nice good speed with undulation.

Most holes are different. This is a Donald Ross design so expect some raised dome style greens good luck.

Pace of play is on the slower side due to tight fairways (people looking for balls) but it was an enjoyable 4.5 hours

Staff is very friendly and professional

Fun course

If golfers learned to fix their ball marks on the green I would’ve given a higher score

Good Course, not worth the cost

First time playing this course and thought the layout was really good. The fairways and bunkers were in good shape and manicured well, staff was very friendly. Golf carts with GPS were in great shape as well. The greens however were below average condition which was discouraging and is causing me to lower my rating overall as the value for the money just wasn't there. Calumet Country Club in the same area I would suggest is just as good as a layout, not as well maintained (similar green condition) but is more than half the cost would be a better value for me. Maybe just due to the rain recently we just caught it on an off time, but was a little disappointed.

Love the course.

Four very drunk kids ahead of us. Slow, swearing, throwing clubs all round. No ranger. No oversight.

Love this course but frankly, frustrated that we expected and paid for a rate with carts included, and the course did not have carts available.

Solid course, starter just caused unnecessary delays

Nice little course that's unique and challenging. Good variety in the layout and is well-maintained. We had a 6:30am tee time for 2 and the other 2 that were paired with us were late. We were ready to tee off and they weren't yet at the tee box at our start time. The first hole was wide open and we could have gone off several minutes early, but the starter made us wait for the other 2 players rather than let us go, which makes no sense whatsoever. We offer to let them play with us if they caught up, but instead of letting us begin, we waited until after our designated start time, then he had them come meet us after we began play, so it just added 90 minutes to our round for no reason. He needs a lesson in course management, but it's a good place overall and we'll be back... hopefully with a different starter.

Been waiting to play here for years and I am glad I finally did. It did not disappoint. $85+ a little spendy for 3:00pm. I will be back though. Staff was excellent. GPS carts.

Old School Awesome

Great experience. Absolutely love the old school nature of course routing and design. Great staff, practice facilities, and pro shop/restaurant. Will definitely go back when I'm in the area.

the good and the bad

usually I only write reviews when there is/are problems that I want to warn future golfers about. but I was so impressed with the sand traps at Ravisloe that I wanted to go in print……they were the best of any course that we’ve played this year. now the half empty glass person in me needs to come out: we got behind a foursome that would have turned the round into 4.5 hours or worse. we made a quick/strategic move while they were eating hotdogs at the turn; we were able to finish in less than 4 hours. My problem: where have all the rangers been this year ?

Love it!

The only way I would give Ravisloe a bad rating to to keep people away from this hidden gem. I love this course and wish it made our rotation a bit more often. Just a treat to play and a fair game for any level of player. You enjoy this course as much if you are a 5 handicap as you would with a 25.
