Classic Chicago Country Club at an affordable rate

My friend and I decided to play Ravisloe CC for the first time this week after hearing good things from friends. The experience exceeded our expectations. From the course staff (everyone was first class and extremely friendly) to the conditioning of the golf course, everything was first class.

Personally, I have played several Donald Ross designed courses and this course is as vintage Ross as it gets. Turtleback, small, sloping greens, treacherous strategic bunkering (sometimes 8,10+ feet or more below the green surface). This course will make you think and plot your way around if you want to score well. The fairways were immaculate, greens in great shape (little on the slow side but understandable with all the play and rain as of late).

For the money, you will be hard pressed to find a better value and experience in the Chicagoland area.
If you are looking for a private club experience at an affordable price, look no further than Ravisloe CC.

Great round at Ravisloe

Great Round- guys in the shop are super friendly- course is in very good condition (only complaint is tee boxes are a bit beat up which is normal this time of year for public courses but also a ton of weeds on them) other than that fairways are in great shape and greens roll very true. Love how every green has a center ridge which makes for very challenging putts. Will be back for sure

I seen that this course is regularly $100 on weekends, figured I was getting a good deal for $59, definitely wouldn’t play it again for $100 let alone traveling over an hour, much nicer courses closer to home for less money but I like trying new courses, but no way a $100 course

Challenging course needs some TLC

Ravisloe is a wonderful layout that allows you to play most every club in your bag. The greens are well bunkered and a real challenge with many breaks and difficult pin placements (the day I played). The fairways are in good condition overall but some of the aprons around the greens need to be resodded. Same goes for a number of the tee boxes on the back nine thst are being taken over with weedy turf. The practice areas are well maintained and it’s particularly nice to have a short game practice area. Overall I like the course and will continue to play there a free times a season.

Great track, even better staff

One of the best public courses in Chicago. Great layout and well kept greens. I lost my phone on the course and the Ranger tracked it down for me and handed it back on 18. Nice clubhouse and incredible staff. Most Chicago public courses get bogged down on busy days. Ravisloe manages peace of play very well. 5 stars

Nanny state golf carts

The course was in very good shape and the pace of play was excellent. One criticism is the golf carts; they would beep and then shut down if you drove into an area that was not programmed into the GPS system. For instance, every hole there is a red sign in front of the green which the cart is not allowed to go past. That's fine if you're ball is on the green, but if you're off the green in the rough you have to leave the cart and walk with a couple clubs to your ball, even if there's no danger of the cart coming near the green. For $75, on a Thursday afternoon, I should be able to drive the cart where I want to. Fix the nanny state carts.

Great day, course condition, top notch

7am tee time. Walked and played in 3 hours. Can't speak to pace of play in the middle of the day, but moved along well in the early morning. Ravisloe used to be in my regular rotation, but hadn't played it in years. It is in best condition I've ever seen. I played the club when it was private and it is without a doubt in better shape than it was back then.

Big, challenging course

Love this course. Be ready for some long par 3s of your playing from further back. Big, open fairways, not too much as far as hazards to avoid, and nothing that requires you to be super accurate.
