Chicago
Ravisloe Country Club
Classic public-access club
Ravisloe is the classic-architecture changeup. It is shorter, older, and more charming than most of the modern Chicago public roster. Stronger architecture people will enjoy it; distance-obsessed groups may miss the point.

We recently celebrated our daughter’s wedding at Ravisloe Country Club, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. From the moment guests arrived at the elegant Spanish-style entrance, they were welcomed into a space full of charm, warmth, and timeless beauty.

This is a fantastic golf course. It has a vintage feel to it and well-kept greens and fairways. The rough is...well, just that, rough. Trees come into play if you are not in the fairway. It can be challenging but the holes are not very long. The bunkers are well-maintained b

Loved this course. Super cool layout and it’s in green shape. The range and practice area is actually way better than I was expecting as well. Course was in great shape, with only the normal scars of a public course (divots, etc). The carts were also a nice touch with bluetooth s
