Ravines Golf Club

Played here 15+ times in the past three years. The oversight of play on the course no longer seems to exist. Pushed the «send message for player assistance» button 3 times and they sent no one. Slow play! Very poor course management.

Golf course is a good challenge of golf and the course was in great shape. Bar staff was friendly and they pack a good bag of ice and beers for the course.
There are several holes (playing the course for the first time) that you can out drive the fairway and need to step down a club. The course is no where to close to target golf but does require some course management.
Pro shop is modest and has an OK selection.

Wouldn’t play here unless you are an excellent ball striker. Almost all holes are lined with tall grass and there are many fairly long forced carries. Nearly any mishit results in your ball being lost or in a hazard. Greens are very contoured so you need to be not just on the green but in the right place. Lots of local knowledge needed as you need to place many drives in just the right place and be in those right places on the greens. Oh yeah, bring your putter.

We’ve played here twice in the last month and really enjoyed the course. There is not much water but there are quite a few forced carries over swamp lands and a few ravines. Many times the forced carries are 60 to 70 yards in front of the greens. Makes it tough for a duffer.
This course is much better than Clearbrook for the money.
Check them out on holidays as they tend to have specials. It was $ 40 with cart for 18 holes on July 4. It normally costs $ 45 for only 9 holes.

I will never play this course again even if it were a $ 35 round. The weather was perfect earlier this week, but the course left a LOT to be desired. I played this course two years ago and the greens had a disease; therefore, I decided to give it another shot. I would summarize the experience both times as over priced and forgettable.
This course has tremendous potential, but is absolutely neglected. The rate is significantly higher than it should be considering the condition, as the crab grass and lack of attention to maintenance is disappointing at best. Fairways were patchy and had many horrible spots and bunkers had many small rocks in them. When a course calls itself a «Signature Arnold Palmer» golf course… I have much higher expectations. Some icing on the cake… you pay $ 75 for a round of golf and they want to charge you for range balls. Not exactly a customer pleasing policy.
The layout offers challenging holes and it could be a very nice course if the grounds were maintained in even an adequate way. There’s evidence of a lack of funds, which I assume to be the reason for the embarrassing condition. This is extremely unfortunate, as the potential really is there and the facilities are quite nice. I honestly feel bad for the staff, as I had a very positive experience with each staff member I encountered; however, the course doesn’t measure up. Don’t waste your time going to the Ravines… try HawksHead instead. A much better rate and wayyyy better golf course.

Well maintained course. Secluded, meandering layout with some stunner forced carries. Fun greens. Picturesque. Decent customer service. Would play again.

I had my wedding at the Ravines this June, and I was very pleased with the place. I was planning long-​distance and it was great to have them to help arrange everything. The place was a great value and the food was a hit (especially the pork medallions). Additionally, we had last minute rain and they smoothly transitioned my outdoor wedding into an inside space.
