Raven

I read several reviews on course, I experienced some of the similar issues, bunkers were very inconsistent, greens were just ok but they had been aerorated around the first of month, so you have to expect time to heal. The seat on my cart had a big rip on it and every time I got in it would scratch my leg, very unacceptable for a golf course charging these rates. The guy at front desk was not very inviting just name and tee time is all he ask. Not welcome glad you’re here or anything close. The starter was not friendly at all, no information giving about coarse was provided, again name and tee time. I will not play this course again when visiting I understand there are other courses in the area that would be joyful to play. Please do not play this course.

Not fair to review

Great layout absolutely beautiful course. Unfortunately we played a coupe week post punch and the greens weren’t where I anticipated them to be but I would assume they perfect post punch. We were just too early.

It’s the Little Things

Course was still recovering from aeration 3 weeks earlier. That said, cups had not been recut in several days and tee boxes were not well cared for in general. Clean cut cups, flat and trim tee boxes, and care of the fringe would help appearances and playability. Need consistent Marshall appearances..

Cart shortage and aerated greens

In general, the course was in good shape, and I usually enjoy playing Ravin, but the greens were beginning to heal from aeration but you couldn’t tell by the green fee.

Also, at the first tee box, the Marshall made me share a cart with a rando they paired me up with, because they were ‘running low on carts.’ I had take all my stuff out of the cart they gave me and move it over to his. He said they ran out the day before - which means they chose to overbook anyway. It was a bad experience at a normally good course.

Tough Track

Great course, but target golf. Lots of water and narrow fairways. Needs to be 50% off any time greens are punched/sanded. Great views of harbor

Greens horrible shape

The over all course was nice but greens in horrible shape and they should offer discounts during aeration period. They were extremely bumpy

Also had to walk across a bridge with all your gear to access the driving range!

Friendly staff and great course layout. They had just aerated the greens, so they were slow, bumpy, and slow.

Friendly staff and great course layout. They had just aerated the greens, so they were slow and bumpy. It had rained a lot the day prior, so it was cart path only and the range was closed. Navigating between a few holes on the back can be tricky for a first time player. They could improve signage. Overall, I really enjoyed the course as each hole is unique in its own way. With my coupon, I only paid $50. So the price was right for the conditions. I’m not sure if it worth the usual $119. I have booked it again for next week at the $81.99 rate. Conditions should be better. I’m looking forward to playing it again.
