Brothers rule

Brothers rule
My brothers and I like to try and golf on Saturday mornings a friend suggested the Ravines. From the moment we drove into the
Facilitie it was a first class course. It was very challenging but fair we enjoyed everything about this course. You must give it a try.

target golf

i don't like target golf. long stretches of swamp across the fairway make it difficult to know where to hit it. elbow greens with bunkers in front make it difficult for senior golfers to drop a shot 175 yards over traps, swamps ect.

A Must Play

I had the pleasure of playing the Ravines Golf Club on July 14, 2020, with five other buddies. All I can say is WOW. This course is a must play if you are in the Saugatuck area. The course was in excellent shape from tee to green. All the staff from the restaurant/bar to the carts were friendly and respectful, during this COVID crisis. The only drawback the six of us had, was the lack of yardage books, GPS or scorecards with a map showing the routing of the course, which is sorely needed when playing this course for the first time. All the carts that had GPS were already taken and they were using temporary scorecards with no routing or map. If I could give 4.9 stars; that would be the only reason. But since I can’t, I will give the full five stars. I will definitely be back in the near future.

Tough Course cut of the forest

If you like each golf hole framed by trees then you will love this course. Generous fairways but quickly will get into trees once off the fairway. Nice layout with some difficult driving holes with numerous dog leg holes that forces one to hit drives that long and accurate. Green are somewhat quick and well contoured. The green complexes provided some great shelves and many hole options.

Complete practice facility to get one ready. There are many forced carries from the tee boxes and green approaches. The course also allows to hit long irons and hybrids off many tee boxes with good fairway roll.

This course has an awesome set of Par 5s with the best one is No 14 (602 yards) with an uphill drive over a ravine and then downhill with 2 solid shots. Par 3s can be tricky.

Go for it!

Course was in good shape even after a nights rain/storm. Greens were great also. Seemed like it took extra time but turned out at 4 hours for 18. Not bad at all.

The Ravines is a great experience

I hope this isn’t the last time that I golf The Ravines. It sure was a treat to play. The course is in private country club conditions, especially this early in the season. Tees are firm, greens are firm and fast, fairways are generous. Then there’s the Ravines. Sometimes you have to tee off over them. Sometimes you hit over the Ravines to the green. Then sometimes you have to layup to the Ravines at a particular distance. The Ravines makes you use many of your clubs in your bag To navigate throughout. The Ravines is a great experience

PERFECT

Heard great things about this course, but no one experienced what i had the chance to. Courses have been closed for over a month in Michigan and just reopened less than a week ago, i was the first group of the day and seems like course hasnt been busy since reopening. Conditions were PERFECT. A little cold and greens were actually slow (i think from not being played on or so long and the rain) but im still saying it was perfect. Since no one was out, pace of play was dictated by me and my buddy, and the group behind never came close to catching up. I wish i could go back but im only here for a few days, but will be back next time. Ps only paid $25!

Excellent Day

My husband and I played the front 9 walking today. We transformed our double stroller into a golf bag carrier (with a cooler). Day was perfect. Pace of play was great. We never felt rushed by the people behind us or annoyed at the people in front of us. Everyone was out to enjoy the sun and the golf. Thanks Ravines!
