Beautiful place to hold your event. Went to a surprise party and there was probaly over 100 guests and lots of room to mingle and very spacious. The filet mignon was very good, along with perfect asparagus and mashed potatoes.

Last minute decision late Saturday night to play golf with my son-in-law early Sunday morning led us to Ravisloe Country Club in Homewood, IL (now a public course). We had to pre-pay $85 each to walk, which is more than I like to pay ever, but a quick review of the history and course design convinced us to pull the trigger. Opened in 1901 as a 9-hole course adjacent to land owned by a Dutchman named Ravisloot. While they didn’t buy Ravisloot’s land, they liked his name but altered it to Ravislow, which evolved to Ravisloe. It was a private country club for more than 100 years before financial challenges closed the course. Historic Chicago business luminaries like Julius Rosenwald (Sears president and one of the founders of the Museum of Science and Industry) and Max Adler (businessman and philanthropist associated with Adler Planetarium) helped create Ravisloe as a preeminent Jewish social and golf club of the early 20th century. In 1910 the club bought another 55 acres and added 9-more holes. Famous global golfers like Harry Vardon and Chick Evans were so impressed with the course they added their elite names recommending the course. In 1916 the club invited the most famous golf designer in the world at that time, Donald Ross, to redesign and firmly entrench the course in golf legend. Upon entering the course I was struck by the almost hidden entrance, popular with historic private clubs. The course is lush in August and in excellent condition. Historic markers are all over the place and the magnificent Spanish-mission style clubhouse designed by famed architect George Nimmons is a welcoming sight. I like to walk when I play golf and this course is a nice one to walk. We played the black tees (6405) and the course has a slope of 130 (average is 113) and a rating of 71.4. I think it’s a very fair, open golf course even though the rating is high. This course will challenge your game because of the bunker systems and in some cases small greens. It’s just a beautiful property though and walking it was a joy. Imagining the ghosts of Harry Vardon and Chick Evans walking beside me as they did a century ago is a humbling and invigorating feeling. The historic buildings on site are fun, and the informational plaques throughout the course are interesting to read. We played right on pace with a 4-hour round despite the weekend tee time. Greens were modest-to-slow in speed which took a little getting used to. One of the guys playing with us was a big hitter and he complained that the rough extending into the center of the fairways on some holes were unfair given his great tee shot. I didn’t suffer that harm 😊 but I could see his point. My only other grievance is the green fees. I can play Cog Hill’s Ravine Course (amazing, see my review) for $78 including a cart so charging $85 to walk this course is too much given the great courses in the area. But if the price doesn’t scare you I highly recommend Ravisloe, especially if you’re a golf history nut like me 😃.

Went for wedding here this past weekend. Venue looks fine but easily the worst wedding food I've ever had. Dry food with absolutely no seasoning or taste. Hors D'oeuvre were cold and also tasteless. Workers were good and attentive.

Beautiful venue for luxurious occasions, diamond hidden away, good food, a place where a couple in love would definitely start off a marriage that would be impossible to forget,lol, a dream come true. The service from their staff was enhanced the unforgettablee moment, going above and beyond to make sure their guest felt special as well. The open free space, room to feel a sense of total freedom. The maintenence of the grounds, hats off to that staff. Captivating touch of classy excellence inside and out. Oh how I would certainly recommend and love to have a day or evening to remember right here, where people could have that story book experience that I did.

Given I am an employee at Ravisloe, I have been hesitant to write a review. It dawned on me that when I was leading over 250 retail stores it was very helpful and eye opening when employees reviewed our company so I decided to write this….. The golf course is outstanding in every way, but that is not what sets RAV apart from other golf courses. The intense focus on providing golfers great service always, and the inclusive culture that ownership/management work hard everyday to deliver is what sets Ravisloe apart from other good courses. Even the course superintendent and his crew filter their work through a customer first lens. As an employee, I feel recognized, appreciated, and a part of a team, which I believe positively impacts the golfer’s experience. In summary, Rav’s golf course is outstanding, but more important, the golfer experience is what separates Rav from all the rest, and that is a direct result of how all levels of ownership/management treat the staff, and set the service standards for all to follow. Be sure to come out and experience Ravisloe yourself. I am proud to be a part of the Ravisloe team.

Course offers a lot of challenges if you're a good shot maker you'll have a fine score here otherwise somewhat difficult not being in the Fairway and the Deep bunkers will surely get your Strokes up there and after the round stop at the bar and grill excellent people to serve you and they upgraded a lot of the amenities fireplace and if you're getting married it's a great place to have your wedding reception!

Great old Donald Ross design that stands the test of time and then some. Asking all of the player and a bit more, I dare you try and pick a favorite hole.

My experience as a resident living near this golf course is terrible! Ravisloe Management will not take responsibility when golfers hit or aim their golf balls in the direction of resident's homes, apartments and or cars breaking out their windows! Make your golfers aware of this issue! Golfers and Management should be held responsible! This is not the end!

Severely overpriced. $110 with a cart on a Friday afternoon. Range balls not included. No water in the cart. GPS is horribly inaccurate. Greens were insanely slow and bumpy. Tee boxes overgrown and patchy. Fairways and rough are nice. Bunkers are ok, some inconsistencies in the amount of sand but nothing too drastic. The layout is interesting enough, the design is fun even for a very short course. There's too many blind tee shots for a one off round. Courses like this take a few rounds to figure out where to aim. I hacked the ball around for a 79 and could easily play much better a 2nd time. But there will never be a 2nd time unless the price is under $60 with a cart. The greens are the most disappointing thing. For $110 I expect damn near immaculate greens. The issue is they are small and have too much undulation. If they rolled above a 9 most pin placements would be torture. All the greens need to be replaced, it seems like they might be 60+ years old.

Today I played in State Representative William Davis golf outing. This was the first time I have played this golf course. The course was magnificent. As well as the guest and everyone in attendance. I had an awesome time. I will play there again. And I highly recommend the course.

Played here back in the fall of 2021. Course was in decent shape and the price seemed fair. Ranger would not get off our backs even though we were waiting on the groups ahead of us. Staff was not very friendly. So many other great courses in the Chicagoland area that I would recommend over this one.

Course is in wonderful shape. Greens, bunkers, fairways are all perfect. A great round.

Staff is wonderful and the property is worthy of photography. So glad to have celebrated with beautiful people in a beautiful place.

Course is in excellent condition. Pace of play was great as expected on a very hot day. Will definitely play there again, soon.
