Good day with 3-new friends

Interesting course layout that demands attention and planning to get a decent score. I would definitely plan this course again.

$5 surcharge for riding as a single

So much for corona virus protocols. Find out upon arriving to the course that you have to pay extra to ride solo. Waited in line an exorbitant amount of time to pay the extra fee while the two men behind me were pulled out of line and served ahead of me. Very tone deaf response to equality of service. Even though I like the course, I won’t be going back anytime soon.

Course management is key

The course layout requires tactical planning for a decent score. Distance is less critical. Fun course to play, but pace of play was a little frustrating.

Good conditions, decent pace of play

I like the course chip and bunker practice area. Course layout is interesting and fair. The conditions of the course are in good condition and the course is maintained very well. Course Management had the last 4 holes as cart path only and all other holes as 90 degree crossings. The Player Assistant was visible on the course to oversee that players followed the rules, but not in an obtrusive way. Still the pace of play was decent. Players were never backed up and hardly ever saw the groups in front or behind us.

Heavy penalty for not hitting the fairways

The course is always in good condition and staff is friendly and accommodating. But after a heavy week of rain, the roughs were very thick and tall. They should have considered an extra mowing to make it fair to play. Lost lots of balls in the tall grass and struggled to get the ball back in play. The grass is mowed on Weds, so you may want to keep that in mind when booking a reservation.

Glad I was playing with someone that had played this course before

The course is spread out in between homes. Felt like we spent a lot of time in the cart driving between holes. Fortunately the course was not crowded and we completed our round in 4 hours. Only true disappointment was their practice range is with foam balls.

If you want to play a fast, cheap round, this is your course

The staff seem unaware. They checked in two people for my single reservation and it took them 5 minutes to rectify the problem. There was no starter, so I played solo behind another single player. I never saw anyone else on the course except for the lawn maintenance staff. Only good thing about playing this course is I finished in 3 hours and 10 minutes.

Wonderful country club experience

Everything about the experience was reminiscent of the classic and timeless country club golf.

Received a call in the morning that the overnight frost was delaying tee times, with staff friendliness and service continuing as we got to the course. The golf shop staff was friendly and informative. The Starter was accommodating and flexible in our start time, and came to the range to let us know when we could tee off. Beverage cart service was seen often on the course without being obtrusive.

The course has a tight compact layout and many golfers walked the course, but we still finished our round with 4.5 hours. The course layout has plenty of bermed sand traps to challenge any golfer, but they are in good shape and playable. The greens, fairways and roughs are all in great shape.

Ravisloe is now one of my favorites, I will definitely go back.

Sad to hear the course is closing at the end of this year

Course has a good variety of layouts, undulations, and hazard placement. Greens and bunkers are in good shape. There are three 9-hole courses to combine together into a variety of an 18-hole round. We completed our round in 4-hours on a weekend. Staff are cordial and laid back, but no beverage cart service or Rangers.

Nice course, nice people

Course conditions were mostly good, but found a few spots with concrete-like ground. Greens were challenging, they were more deceptive than they looked. Course layout was fair, there are good opportunities to score well. Staff and players are friendly, Rangers and beverage cart girl were frequently seen.

Enjoyable course and staff

Played course 1 after rain. Starters got us off early. Started play with cart path only, course drained well and was able to drive carts on fairways by the end of the 18 holes. Rangers kept up pace of play. Would definitely play there again.

Pace and course we're in good shape

Unlike other reviews that I have read, the pace of play was fine, we finished in 4.5 hours on a Sunday. A noticeable ranger was on the course. Course was also in good shape, and green surfaces were smooth and fast.

Good for early season play and high handicapper

Fairways are straight, wide and forgiving. Greens are relatively flat. Course is well maintained. A good place to work out the kinks in your early season play.

A Definite Recommend

Played the Baer and Tournament course, then played the Player course afterwards because we liked the conditions so much. Baer and Tournament are the more interesting of the 3 courses. Courses are challenging, but fair. Starters and Beverage cart staff are really friendly and nice. Will definitely be back to play again.
