The Approach Shot

Chicago

Cog Hill No. 2 Ravines

Classic public parkland

Ravines is the smart Cog Hill companion. It is shorter, more playable, and far less exhausting than Dubsdread. That makes it ideal for arrival day, departure day, or the second half of a Cog Hill 36. If the group wants one facility day without moving bags and cars, this is how you do it.
