I play Ravisloe around a dozen times each year. Love the accessibility off I294. Love the Donald Ross design and (for the most part) lack of housing visible from the course.

This is not a place to go for a leisurely round (thank goodness!). I'm not saying that everyone who plays here is a single digit by any means, but most players here like to play a quick round.

My complaints -
1.the maintenance needs a little more TLC. Most tee boxes are pretty chewed up and it's only the beginning of the year
2. cut the greens a little closer to allow the natural break. They have great contour, but you can't tell when they're hairy
3. for the players - fix your ball marks, please. Take care of where you play!

This was the 6th round at Ravisloe this summer and becoming my go-to course. Love the layout, although the 400 yd par 4s are a little boring. With a little more TLC, things could be better. 1. Get divot repair sand bottles on the carts! I was told that the head of course maint didn't want them because he wants ppl to replace their divot, not fill it in with mix. Sometimes there's no divot left to replace; and if ppl care enough to fill it in with mix, they'll also replace the divot it they can. 2. Clean up the tee boxes! 3. Cut the greens a little closer to get the effect Donald Ross intended. Very frustrating to read a break only to see a straight putt.
